Hoes n Bros

Further work with my point and shoot. Capturing people wired, drunk, dancing or hitting the blunt. I don't want to lie about what I am photographing for it is real.

Festival life

Experimenting with medium format- Lomo 120

I was getting a bit bored of the point and shoot camera and therefore decided to use my medium format Lomo 120 camera. The results are rather unpredictable due to the cheap plastic structure of the camera, however, due to it having a variety of coloured flashes I was able to produce a variety of images.  

Here I have summed up a night in general... Lust, disillusioned mindsets, the breaking of a face due to narcotics...  

More work from this week- Setting

This week I aimed my focus at the venues which allow these nights to be possible. Varying from the crowded nature of south nightclub, to a live performance by Jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD, to an illegal rave and the warehouse project, I will use these photographs to act as a form of contextual emphasis when presenting my work.

Heads, facial expressions and African clothing

Here is another weekly instalment of photographs I have shot over the weekend.
I decided to enter the same mindset as everyone else within the club.

Once again I have simply approached, engaged and photographed whoever has caught my attention. There are no other reasons as to why I have photographed the way I have other than the fact that I was out having fun with my camera.

A break dancing man and other encounters.

This week I attended yet another night of magical music at South nightclub. Once again I made sure to capture every moment that caught my attention...Here are the results.

Artist- Library research- The camera at war

Although it may appear that this book does not have any relevance to this project, it has inspired me to appreciate and acknowledge all aspects of the night; I must continue to be brave and embrace every moment the night may throw at me. 'The camera at war' is a book I stumbled upon one day at the library. It was overwhelming powerful with every photography acting as a negative outlook towards war. What fascinates me the most is how each of the photographers almost had no ethic when it came to shooting a photograph. It's as if they knew this would one day be used to show the true evil and malicious nature of mankind. I'm not implying that I want my photographs to act as a reminder with regards to how we live our lives, but instead would like my photographs to act as a representation of our youths culture; something that when we're older we can look back on and realise how chaotic we truly were.
