Sarah Stolfa was working as a bartender at McGlinchey's bar while she was studying photography.
In her series "The Regulars" she manages to portray exactly how these people presented themselves on an almost daily basis. Each person that is photographed is sitting individually at the bar with whatever it was that they had sitting in front of them whether it was the type of drink they were sipping on, the cigarettes and ashtrays, car keys, etc. In these images Stolfa managed to find the detachment and intimacy from a person that is found sitting at a bar. Although these people kind of stride to be seen a certain way, the things that they surround themselves with may say differently. I am seeking to show this type of thing in the images that I am shooting. Although the people in my images may be doing one thing, the things that surround them in their room may show something completely different. This is where I hope to be successful in my images.
