SOMEWHERE ROUND THE CORNER FROM OVER THERE, 

A COLLECTION I SHOT OVER THE SPAN OF MY YOUTH LOOKING INTO THE UNDERGROUND MUSIC SCENE WITHIN THE SMALL TOWN I GREW UP WITHIN.

THE PROJECT AIMS TO INFORMALLY SHOW THE DANCEFLOOR AS AN IMPORTANT PLACE FOR SELF-EXPRESSION. 

LOOKING PRIMARILY AT THE ROOTS, DUB & JUNGLE SCENE WITHIN STROUD.

ON THE SURFACE, IT CAN BE A PERSONAL LOOK AT THE SCENE I GREW UP WITHIN, WORKING CLOSELY WITH MANY OF THE LISTED INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE BOOK, I BELIEVE IT SHOWS A SHARED FEELING OR A SHARED MEMORY OF YOUR YOUTH, IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.

THE DANCEFLOORS IN THESE IMAGES ARE PLACES THAT MANY FOUND THEIR PASSIONS, THEIR FRIENDS, THEIR PERSONALITIES; 

THEY ARE PLACES WE LOSE OUR EGOS.

UNDERGROUND DANCEFLOORS HELP US TO DO THIS ALL ACROSS THE UK. 

THESE INSTITUTES FOR SELF-EXPRESSION NEED TO STAY A SACRED PLACE FOR OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS, 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THE PERSISTENT CLOSURE OF OUR NIGHTCLUBS OR THE ERASION OF THESE KEY CULTURAL SPACES.
