Make up, mirrors, mixed drinks and material combined equal girls best toilet friends.
Brisbane’s nightclub backrooms are an escape for the girls of music and fashion from the entertainment hungry crowd. Two of Brisbane’s best dance nightclubs, Alhambra and Empire Hotel feature some of the most popular backroom girls.

There’s a conversation, a moment taking place in the backroom and you’re all invited into take a look and judge from the pictures and stories for yourself. If you hang out regularly at these spots most of the female faces start to become familiar and as a result many of the females open up and play up to the lens flirtatiously. As the eyes behind the lens and the hands in control of the end result, each moment captured presents an individual narrative, yet all are connected through similar atmospheric lighting and background feel.
