Trastevere
The tiny streets and many bars of this district south of the Vatican make it one of Brown's favorite neighborhoods. On the night of his TIME assignment, he came across this restaurant worker as he cleaned up, around midnight. Brown has pushed the ISO to 1,600 to get an exposure, but details remain crisp. The soft light from a street lamp cloaks the scene in pastel hues.
