Voyeuristic photo series captures "wandering misfit" on the neon lit Sunset Strip

Lang explains: "One day, when looking for an apartment to rent in West Hollywood, this creature was sat on the couch with a scraggly peroxide wig and unintentionally smeared makeup, tapping her pleather boot heel repeatedly on the floor while puffing hard on a cigarette. She was only to be known as the enigma, Natale.

"I was intrigued by her but could only find a fake Facebook account for her. Fascinated, I created a storyline of what she would do on a night out in LA." And this is the resulting series.
