So this will require a little storytelling (as I do with most of my posts) so strap in!

I’ve been hitting artists and places up in the past couple of months, actively trying to get some Photography passes for things.

One of those places I contacted was (The) Barbican.

And in the same way they came back to me first with an opportunity, that opportunity is the first one that will appear here!

I wasn’t going to get the Photography opportunity at first – instead – I did an interview with BoyBlue’s Co-Founder “Mikey J” Asante.

And then a couple weeks later, I was invited to Barbican again for this! About 30 minutes – a few sections of their routine rehearsed – get what I can!

Here’s what I got of the cast of nine: Jimmy Allan, Nicey Belgrave, Tanaka Bingwa, Gabija Čepelytė, Paris Crossley, Evion Hackett, Kyron “Nykro” Jake, Kelsey “Hydro” Miller & Corey Owens.

I started off with my zoom lens which – compared to the other, clearly more versed photographers – probably looked amateur in their eyes.

And if I’m honest, I wasn’t looking to achieve what they were probably tasked to do via their publications. I just wanted to see what I could get, no expectations.

It’s interesting to me (maybe not to you) that I ended up cropping moments in different ways. I didn’t know what was going to happen at every given time.

But I managed to get the flashy ones.

I only just realised as I’m constructing this, there’s no Black & White in this set. Honestly, I just wanted to take out as many variables as possible.

But I did however switch up to my 35mm lens, got closer to the stage and tried to switch things up!
