The darkness is deliberate. The fog is deliberate. The absence of visible social hierarchy is deliberate. When a photographer walks through that space with a camera and a flash, they convert every dancer into a subject. They turn participation into content. They make everyone self-conscious about something they were doing unconsciously five seconds ago. + +The flashes are distracting. The physical presence disrupts the flow. People stop moving naturally and start performing for the camera or hiding from it. Either way, they are no longer in the music. The spell is broken. + +## The real problem + +Photography on the dancefloor makes everyone feel like they are a product being used for marketing. That is not paranoia — that is exactly what is happening. The photos end up on Instagram as promotional content. The dancers did not consent to being promotional material. They came to dance, not to star in someone’s content strategy. + +I was at a venue once and was so disgusted by the security people walking through the dancefloor that I could not get into the right headspace. Security personnel feeling up people violates the environment that dark music requires: trust, safety, freedom from surveillance. Photographers create the same intrusion, just with a lens instead of a pat-down. + +## The policy +Diff truncated (36 lines total). View full commit on GitHub →
