In I’m Com’un Home In The Morn’un, photographer Elaine Constantine presents her dynamic and full-colour images that capture the northern soul scene of the 1990s, depicting the extreme aerobics and the unstoppable energy of twenty and thirty somethings.
In the early 1990s Elaine moved from Manchester to London for her photography career and had been commissioned to photograph night clubs for The Face magazine. She was asked to make photographs at the 100 Club where they played rare American 60s and 70s soul music through the night. Elaine had been on the northern soul scene herself up until a few years previous and was curious to see how it had evolved.
Elaine soon became a regular again, travelling to venues around the country and photographing at many all-nighters, including events at Manchester’s Ritz and London’s 100 Club, alongside smaller and more intimate locations such as a lad called Steve’s kitchen.
