GOOD NIGHT LONDON
«“Good Night London” is a series of documentary portraits taken in several London night clubs. Placing my interest in such a hostile scenario, this series develops exploring how artificial environments work as a key element in teenager´s identity construction. Studio conventional photography is then taken out of context, invading such a complex scenario. The calm and inspiration of a studio is here substituted by the hostile and noisy nightclub as a background, in which the characters will be casted at the very end of the night, just when the club is about to close. Just like the many other elements of a night out, being exposed to the camera will offer portraiture and portrayed another twist of the game, in which to invent a way to project theirselves according to whatever narrative they may want to contract. Putting the individuals in front of a camera and lights, allows to capture the projection of whatever they want to show. “Good Night London” freezes real scenes, turning the noisy and the wild into an atmosphere of calm and serenity».
