Photo: Al Baker.

This was taken at Paradise Factory’s eighth birthday party. It’s typical of Al Baker’s club photography. He has a way of capturing both intimate moments in dark corners and communal elation on the dancefloor without it ever feeling intrusive.

This image featured in the MDMA exhibition 'Queer Noise' at People's History Museum in 2017.
