Description
Colorized photo from 1941
Original title: Negro bar, Southside Chicago, IL
Photographer: Russell Lee
Location: 5521 S. State Street, Chicago, IL
They said that this place was "THE" place to be, and despite that there were no color images, postcards, paintings or anything of this club. And if it wasn't for the photographer that popped in, we probably would never known about this place.
It wasn't a candid shot, everyone saw the camera, and if they weren't paying attention the flash would have blinded everyone inside. Their eyes are all super dilated. I had a hard time getting out all the forward facing shadows, so I could put a light overhead.
I colored this with warm tones, I chose red because it felt more regal and also went with the skin tones. I'm pretty sure the ceiling sconce looked like that, a combo of reflective light with a lit center.
