James Mollison’s portraits of music fans

English-Kenyan photographer James Mollison staked out arenas and music venues to photograph fans at popular concerts. The result is The Disciples, a series of group portraits which reveals a fascinating cross-section of music subcultures.

 Dolly Parton concert, Wembley Arena, London, 19 March 2007.
“Dolly Parton is the most successful female country artist in history, with a trademark
look- blonde wig and astonishing 40-inch bust- originally based on a prostitute in her home town. Some fans carried off the look with conviction, and for others the wig was just a party touch.”

 Madonna concert, The Forum, Los Angeles, 21 May 2006. “
More than 20 years after ‘Like A Virgin’, the diverse audience for the iconic queen
of pop had a distinctly camp edge.”

Sex Pistols concert, Brixton Academy, London, 8 & 9 November 2007. “The audience fell into
three distinct types: die-hard punks still living the punk lifestyle; youngsters wanting to be a part of history;
and men coming to relive a moment of their youth- some bringing along their sons to show them how
dangerous they had once been.
