The concept for my first shoot is going to be based on rave culture, taking inspiration fron Nan Goldin and Wolfgang Tillman. I want the images to capture modern youth and the drum and bass music culture in Brighton. My aim is to shoot natural photographs of people dancing and partying in a club. The location of the shoot is going to be at Volks Nightclub in Brighton. I chose this location as it is one of most popular drum and bass clubs, a lot of people are young university students who go to the club to escape and connect with likeminded individuals. The location will include bright colours from the strobe lights which will link to the high energy mood I want images to convey. I also think the dingy club with dark lighting will fit the mood I am trying to create and resemble a similar style to Wolfgang Tillmans. The club has a very old, worn down apperaence. I want the shoot to be raw and natural and I want to photograph random people in the moment so the images are genuine and truly depict modern club goers. However I will plan to photograph some friends which dj and dance at club often. The meaning behind the shoot is going to capture modern youth and the importance of music as a form of activism and freedom. It will link to activsm and to me dancing is a way of resistance and it will have polItical links by portraying britain in the uncertain time it is currently in.
