Love, Sweat and Gear is a photobook documenting youth culture and nightlife in Bristol. Photographing new found friends and the people around me during my first year of uni, I began to explore the traditions and rituals of a night out. Focussing on activities such as smoking, drinking and dancing, I was interested in the relationships you form on a night out, the act of sharing a cigarette for example, albeit temporary, can be such an intimate and bonding moment. Everyone experiences these moments here and there and don’t think anything of it - but I enjoyed looking out for them and experiencing these moments as a spectator.
