James Mollison 'The Disciples'

My teacher recently introduced me to photographer, James Mollison, and his project 'The Disciples'. The project looks at the fans associated with a mix of music artists. It is clear from his pictures each bad has a very stereotypical fan. It is apparent their clothing is mimicking the music artist they are seeing or that genre.

Here is a link to his website: http://www.jamesmollison.com/project_disciples.php

James Mollison writes:  "Over three years I photographed fans outside different concerts. I was fascinated by the different tribes of people that attended them, and how people emulated celebrity to form their identity. As I photographed the project I began to see how the concerts became events for people to come together with surrogate 'families', a chance to relive their youth or try and be part of a scene that happened before they were born."
