Photographer David Piñeros, who is known for his black and white street photography in Nashville, has a show called Skullcap debuting at Zeitgeist Gallery through Sept. 24.

Piñeros’ project focuses on the night side of Nashville, where he portrays subjects in black and white. He calls the images “post-punk photographs depicting a queer and dystopian side of the city.”

Skullcap is depicted in zine format as a series of 20 photographs from this project. The zine launches alongside the show with an accompanying 10 pieces, which were taken all over time

This work “uses elements from street photography and portraiture,” Piñeros exhibit information says. “The frames are not staged but rather a product of coincidence and access to the community. This allows him to make intimate almost psychological captures of this subculture. Taken mostly at night, the portraits feel grimy and ominous.”
