In choosing the final six for my portfolio I couldn’t choose between the more ‘clubbish’ looking images where the light beams run through or the images I took in bars, which have darker lighting. I decided I liked both styles and they reflected the two sides of night life which I was photographing. So that it wouldn’t look out of balance I decided to place three images of each style. The intentions of the images I have selected are to display images of people and friends out enjoying themselves. The only image which isn’t very joyful is the image posted second before last above. However it’s one of my favourite images because I love how the lighting came and the individual in the image seems to be in his own world. Ideally I would have liked to have included more images, perhaps six more would have created a more interesting set, because these images I feel work better as a series as they create more of an atmosphere as you go along. The photographs are not meant to have any profound meaning, there is no story behind them, the subject matter is quite simple, it’s just people on a night out coming together and enjoying themselves, which is hopefully expressed adequately in these photographs.
