Gareth Cattermole Captures Harry Styles Fans in Polaroids
At one of Harry Styles's record-setting 12 shows at Wembley Stadium, photographer Gareth Cattermole utilized Polaroid film to capture the unique outfits and slogans of the singer's passionate fans. This series highlights the creativity, humor, and camaraderie among attendees prior to the concert. Styles's performance schedule includes 10 nights in Amsterdam, followed by four nights in São Paulo, six in Mexico City, 30 in New York, four in Melbourne, and two in Sydney. Cattermole opted to focus on fans arriving rather than the show itself, portraying their excitement and anticipation. His Polaroid technique allowed for a more deliberate and candid style, emphasizing intricate details like handmade garments and witty T-shirt slogans. One fan sported a tie dress sewn the night before, while another showcased a top with lyrics from Styles’s album. A thrilled five-year-old was also ready for his first concert experience.
