"Elmo Tide By Elmo Tide Hardcover With Slipcase | 11.2 X 9.8 Inches | 168 Pages". Enigmatic photographer Elmo tide has photographed odd and intriguing characters of late-night revelry for the past decade. Preferring to remain completely anonymous in order to keep the focus on his work and not on himself, he publishes his photographs under his arbitrarily invented pseudonym of bizarre misdirection. Tide works usually under the cover of nightfall, composing high-contrast black-and-white mise-en-scènes that appear almost as if they're from a different era, as if “Robert frank and Fellini [went] to the carnival” (NPR).
