THE REAL LIFE NIGHTCRAWLER

Scott Lane’s life looks and feels a lot like the movie Nightcrawler. He’s a freelance news cameraman who documents car crashes, fires, deaths and shootings across the city of Los Angeles. Under the name Loudlabs News, he sells his often grisly night-time footage to news stations, completely running the whole operation out of his car. Here’s a look at his line of work and the process he uses to document a darker side of the city. Originally published in Vice.
