*FINAL PRESENTATION IMAGES AT THE BOTTOM OF MY PADLET*

in these two end pages i really like how the red draws it all together, and despite the images being posed it's almost kind of candid, as if the individuals have been caught slightly off guard.

# data[].attributes.body
i wanted to make my presentation more interactive so i'm thinking of making a collage video of raves in the 80s/90s interwined with videos of the different raves i've been to now, to create a comparison of what it's like and also so people can get a more visual experience of raves if they havent been to one before.
if i dont do this, i will include a QR code that links to a spotify playlist so people can explore the music that relates to my project.

i made this zine on InDesign, which helped me learn how to use the application which will be great for the future. i really enjoyed the process of making this. i decided to create this zine to make my project tangible and more interactive. i included all of the images for my final presentation in the order i am presenting them in, a long with a few extra images that i really like. the last 6 images didn't go with the gallery presentation as they are quite posed, but i still wanted to include them in some way, so i thought in the zine was the appropriate way to do this.
i wanted a way to keep my work in a little booklet, like i stated before i wanted it to have a nostalgic kind of vibe like a photo album. this is a way for me to keep my images in a little booklet to look back on when i’m older, reminding me of my youth. this reiterates how people must feel when they see images of the rave scene in the 80s/90s when it first came around and was predominantly shot on film.

portrait images that i really liked to show identities inside the rave. i didnt include these in my gallery presentation as i felt they were too posed but i liked them enough to include in this zine.

# data[].attributes.body
i like the comparison of the movement of the individual and the focus on the dj, how they show the type of movement created by the power of the dj. i also think the darkness in each image compliments each other.

# data[].attributes.body
i like the how each of these images shows elements of confidence and expression through body movements .

# data[].attributes.body
these two went well together as i feel they are expressive with their hand actions and give off the overall performative elements in a rave

# data[].attributes.body
i thought these images linked together because it continues the journey through the crowd, as the boy in the second image is in the first but you cant properly see him, so i wanted to reveal a bit more about my surroundings and the expressionism within.

# data[].attributes.body
i like how each image is personal to me and shows how my interaction with the individuals was.

# data[].attributes.body
i started the zine with these two images to create an initial idea of what it's like when you first walk through a rave, and the different crowd interactions you see which can be slightly overwhelming.

# data[].attributes.body
i wanted to leave the front and back plain to start and end the narrative of the story 'through the jungle'. i wanted to leave it open to interpretation by not including any context. i would be interested to see what people take from these images

the way I'm planning to present it in the final gallery is how I've shown it above, with these images in this order

# data[].attributes.body
im glad with how this came out; especially as it was done on and point on shoot. if I was to re do this project I would maybe experiment with different cameras like a manual 35mm. this would be so I can play around with the shutter speed and aperture to create a different vibe. however I feel like a manual camera would have been quite impractical to carry around a rave and also there's a bigger chance the images could come out badly. a point and shoot gives me the chance to quickly take an image whenever I want.
I wish I took a lot more images on the crowd as I really liked how these turned out; similar to image 2 and 11 in the collection above. I like how they are out of focus so maybe I could have experimented with focal points and depth of field which would have been good with a manual 25mm, such as the Pentax 2000.

FINAL PRESENTATION !!!!! - my final images

previously I wanted to do a collage, but after seeing styles like this I thought it could be interesting to have it in more of a chronological order so the images stand out one by one and creatives a narrative.

# data[].attributes.body
the thing I would change about this shoot is next time I would like to bring more film to shoot on so I could experiment more with different element of the rave- such as the building structure, the floors; thing you wouldn't usually notice when at a rave due to the capacity of people inside the building.

# data[].attributes.body
with this shoot I feel like I've really developed my ideas and images since the first rave shoot I did. I focused on both the crowd and individuals in order to decide that which type of style I prefer. it's between creating a collage of portraits to explore all the different identities at a rave or a collection of crowd images show different expressions through movement. I like both styles of photography equally but I feel like I would like to experiment more with crowd interactions, as for my interim show I focused on portraiture photography.

# data[].attributes.body
this image is also one of my favourites because of how accurately I believe this summarises how it is to be at a rave- the happiness and overwhelming atmosphere that takes over you. the Kodak gold 400 really compliments the tones in this image too.

# data[].attributes.body
this image is my favourite out of the collection because I love how expressive the individual is; reiterating the type of vibe you get at a rave. the fact he's very in focus and the main subject in the image whilst the background is dark really caught my eye. this is definitely one of my favourite images I've taken and am hoping to use it in my final project.

# data[].attributes.body
I printed out tiny versions of the prints that had potential to be in the final selection, and these were the ones I chose (clearer view of selection below) . I thought these went the best together as it shows all different elements of a rave, including a few portraits and a lot of atmospheric images.

# data[].attributes.body
the idea I have relating to my work would to be to carry on the theme from my interim show, where each image would be sized in a way that resonates wit the confidence of the person in the image. this means I will have to use portrait images. I would judge the confidence of the individual based on my personal interaction with them, and how comfortable they were in front of the camera. I thought this would be interesting so I could really analyse my interaction with them.

when looking at ways to present my work, I found aby Warburg interesting. he was a German art historian and cultural theorist. I like the way he presented his work in this gallery; a layout that is collage style and looks slightly messy, but has reasoning behind why it is laid out like this.

some images of the protests after the 1994 Criminal and Public Justice Act was introduced. all the ravers uniting to fight for something they love. this is important to note when documenting the rave scene; the shared love between everyone involved.

chris killip is a photographer born in douglas, isle of man in 1946. he worked his way up to becoming a photographer and photographs many different styles; but mainly documentary photography which is what i'm most interested in. the reason i love documentary photography is because all of the different inpretations and stories you can get from a single image. i love people and exploring our society so therefore think it is the perfect way to display my interests.

# data[].attributes.body
i shot my 35mm olympus MJU superzoom  using kodak gold 200. i believe that using film when capturing the underground rave scene produces authentic and 'vintage' images, making them timeless and possibly relate to images of the scene when it first came about in the UK during the 1980s. my images i took for the interim show i used black and white film, and whilst i really enjoyed how these images came out i wanted to experiment with colour film, as i hadn't done this before. considering that this is my first time creating a collection of images using colour i am extremely happy with how they came out. seeing all of the vibrant colours that make up the best parts of a rave.

# data[].attributes.body
i have chosen to put the images in this order as i wanted them to take you through the experience of the rave. being able to look at your surroundings and take in all the individual identities around you. i find it really inspiring and interesting, especially the interactions i have when i ask to take images of people. my friend said to me the images together look like a panorama of a rave setting, and i really enjoyed this interpretation as it portrays exactly what im trying to do; create the rave atmosphere through images

# data[].attributes.body
these are the final images i have selected for the end of year show. there are 14 of them and i am going to have them printed in a5 as this is the classic photo album size, and i want them to reitate the type of nostalgia and sentimentality as a photo album. these photos are also memories for me aswell as being taken for my uni work. they help me remember the experience i went through at the events and also the interacts i had with new people. photography has helped me interact with strangers in ways that i never thought i would and im glad i have the ability to do this.

Work by Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, and Garry Winogrand. The exhibition established all three photographers as important voices in American art; their achievements continue to encourage more nuanced understandings of the medium.

# data[].attributes.body
I love how raw these images are and would love for my work to interpret the same type of vibe as these do. these are taken on medium format and I love the way they look however I found the practicality of a point and shoot very convenient, specially as when taking my images I was out for a long period of time.

these are me selecting and sorting through the images that I think I may use in my final gallery presentation

Photographs made at The Station, Gateshead, during the summer of 1985

"When I first went to The Station in April 1985, I was amazed by the energy and feel of the place. It was totally different, run for and by the people who went there. Every Saturday that I could, I photographed there. Nobody ever asked me where I was from or even who I was. A 39-year-old with cropped white hair, always wearing a suit, with pockets stitched inside the jacket to hold my slides. With a 4 x 5 camera around my neck and a Norman flash and its battery around my waist, I must have looked like something out of a 1950s B movie. 1985 was just after the miners' strike and there was a lot of youth unemployment. Most of the punks at The Station didn't have a job, and this place, run as a very inclusive collective, was so important to them and their self-worth."

a novel I read in order to gain a deeper understanding of how the rave scene was when it first emerged in the UK, specifically jungle and drum and bass, which is the genre of music I focused on when taking these images. After the Criminal Justice Act 1994 got introduced, it caused illegal raving to become less popular and legal raves to become the new norm. I wanted to recapture what it feels like to get in these legal raves. the type of clothes people wear, the overall expression and identity performance that is common too. it seems like everyone is comfortable with their surroundings; despite the chaos and intimacy.

# data[].attributes.body
originally I wanted to do a collage of all my images, but because I'm more interested in using the images with multiple crowd engagements instead of the portraits. as much as I love the portrait images, they are very performative and I wanted this project to show more 'authentic' and candid moments.

# data[].attributes.body
I selected these images to sort through towards the final show based on what show the most authentic rave atmosphere. I wanted to show the performative elements which is why I chose images with a selection of different body languages; seeing people express themselves through movement. I also wanted a range of portrait images and crowd images.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
i love the brick wall in this, adds to the youth culture theme. also the film compliments the tones in the image so well.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
although posed, i love how well the camera worked with this image. beautiful. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
i enjoy how this image captures movement, creating an accurate representation of the rave atmosphere

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
i love this image mainly because of how the film ( kodak gold 200) compliments the colours so well. i also like how she is slightly off centre. 

# data[].attributes.body
the developments ive made:
- i am able to control the opticals of my camera better and i have a more thorough understanding of when and where to take images.
- developed the understanding that i really like candid, unfocused images as i find them compelling as it is raw material.
- shooting on film makes me feel passionate. during this shoot i had so much fun interacting with people and enjoying myself whilst being able to document it; it is really helping me explore my passion for photography especially analogue.

i am really happy with show this shoot came out. i focused more on portrait photography inside a rave in order to explore different types of identities and personalities. i wanted to have majority of the images in focus for this shoot, unlike the previous one, to see how this would effect the way i express rave culture. although i love how these images turned out, it seems more posed than the previous shoot. i'd like more of the images to be candid as i feel like this depicts a more accurate representation of rave culture; showing its unpredictable elements.

# data[].attributes.body
with this shoot i experimented with different focal points to test out the effect this would have on the images. i really like the way it turned out, especially with the images of the crowd, as it reiterates how it feels inside the crowd with the intense atmosphere and chaos which is also very friendly and exciting.

# data[].attributes.body
this image is my favourite as i feel like it really accurately presents how it feels to be in this atmosphere; inside a rave. a sense of expression. the persons face being hidden in my opinion reiterates how in rave culture, you are able to be a part of it now matter who you are and how you identify. rave culture is all about being unified. i also like the opticals of the image, and how the focus is on the girl, emphasising her being a 'main character' in this situation.

# data[].attributes.body
this image is my favourite as it is unclear exactly what is being presented in front of you when first looking at the image. i like the way that the opticals of the camera can change the ways in which you view a situation. for example, the way i view this image is very different from what i saw when i took the image. it makes me unpack different elements such as stage presence and identity. i like the way that the focus is on the background person, really adding depth of field. the unability to see the performers faces shows how we can express ourselves through just body language without the need for facial expressions.
