ClubCult

ClubCult is a unique photography book that captures one moment in Amsterdam’s underground club culture. Over the course of a memorable club weekend, renowned photographers Barrie Hullegie, Lonneke van der Palen, Jorre Janssens, and Tim Verhallen - each connected to or inspired by the club culture- photographed over 200 clubgoers in their most authentic form. These intimate portraits are at the heart of the book.

This passion project was born from a shared feeling: the need to document a scene that, due to its strict no-photo policy, has mostly remained unseen and undocumented. We felt the urge to capture this moment with respect, care, and full consent.

With a clear plan, we were given the opportunity to turn our vision into reality. Four photography studios were set up in the same building as Amsterdam’s iconic club during a 66-hour finale weekend. Clubgoers were scouted and invited directly from the club into our studios.

This spontaneous process led to an authentic, raw exchange: everyone involved was fully present, with no preconceptions; just real moments. Everyone of the team contributed freely, united by the desire to capture a moment and the spirit of the club community.

With a carefully curated selection of portraits, ClubCult offers a rare glimpse into a world that usually stays hidden. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far. The book design is already underway, and now we need your support to take the final step: getting it printed.
