Troy Paiva

Artist /Weirdo. AKA Lost America: Night Photography and Light Painting innovator at abandoned sites and junkyards, since 1989.

My photographs are available in short-run print editions, on archival metallic paper.

These next generation prints offer enormous color range, giving the truest reproduction of my vivid color pallet. Under direct light, they are absolutely electric.
