Nightlife

My nightlife work began in the corners of Edinburgh’s clubs, where strobes cut through the haze and everyone looks their best right before the bass drops. Thanks to the Edinburgh Napier Techno Society, I stepped behind the scenes as their social media manager, gaining access to the city’s most electric rooms and discovering just how much I adore documenting the chaos, colour, and culture of the music scene and general nightlife.

"Zoë managed to capture raw unfiltered moments where me and HENDO aren’t even thinking about our photo being taken at all. These moments are the best to have captured, the photos bring a smile to my face."
