This photo series captures an intimate underground music event in a low-light venue. My focus was on documenting the raw energy of the night through direct flash, high-contrast black-and-white edits, and close-up compositions that highlight the personality of the crowd and performers.

Shot on a Canon EOS 200D II, the images were edited to emphasise texture, mood, and immediacy—reflecting the gritty, unfiltered atmosphere of the space.

This project was all about energy and proximity. I stayed close to the action, using flash to cut through the darkness and capture expressive, in-the-moment shots. The goal was to create a photojournalistic-style set that felt immersive, raw, and honest.

The black-and-white edit strips distractions away and draws focus to emotion, contrast, and detail—sweat, movement, and expression become the focal point.
