Timeless Portraits of L.A.’s Arcades

The New York Times recently published French photographer Franck Bohbot’s portraits of Los Angeles’ arcade scene. His images do have a sort of ageless quality, which Bohbot says is intentional, and part of what drew him to these spaces in particular.

My goal, in part, was to capture contemporary photographs that might just as easily have been taken in the ’80s or ’90s.

I was also drawn by the diversity of the people and the environments. Each arcade draws a slightly different crowd, from beachgoers and barhoppers to seriously committed gamers. The atmospheres vary, too — some bright, pristine, ordered; some dark, moody, covert.
