Glitter and Grain: Newcastle’s Underground LGBTQ+ Club Scene Through a Vintage Lens

Spectrum wasn’t just a club night—it was a visual spectacle of self-expression, queer joy, and conceptual fashion. Shot entirely on film at Zerox on Newcastle’s Quayside, my photography captures the raw energy of LGBTQIA+ nightlife, from glitter-drenched dancers to bold, avant-garde looks. As an event photographer in the North East, I document the moments that make nightlife unforgettable, preserving the vibrancy of queer spaces through the timeless charm of 35mm film.
