“Many nightclubs from this era were very loud and very dark. Plus some of the best ones were incredibly crowded. To begin with, I could seldom get back far enough to get people into frame from head to foot and when I could, people would be constantly walking in front of me all the time. Then I bought a 24-mm lens and only had to be four or five feet away.” PeopleEnoughWould BeDarkFiveFourFeetFrontsWalkingErasLoudPlusGet BackLensesCrowdedNightclubs Author:Derek Ridgers
“The reason why so many of my photographs in the book were taken in stairwells and corridors was that that was the only bit of spare space available and, in some cases, the only place where there was enough light to see anything. Even then, it was often so dark that I couldn't tell which gender my subject was (not that I particularly cared) and too dark, before the era of autofocus, to focus. I had to find a light (or carry a torch) and pre-focus.” BookReasonEnoughLightBitsDarkSpaceCasesTakenFocusSubjectsPhotographAvailableGenderErasReason WhySparesTorchesCorridors Author:Derek Ridgers
