About this episode
Louis Nesbitt shares his journey from finance to photography in the rave culture of Ibiza.
Louis Nesbitt quit his 9-5 job in finance to shoot Michael Bibi at DC10 Ibiza - and it completely changed his life. In this episode of Can You Put Me On Guest List? , I sit down with the photographer behind DC10, Solid Grooves and some of the defining moments in Ibiza’s modern rave culture. From studying corporate tax in London to documenting Michael Bibi’s DC10 residency, Louis shares how one DM, one terrace moment, and one risky decision pushed him to leave his stable career and go all in on photography. We talk about shooting Bibi’s emotional comeback at DC10, what really happens backstage at Ibiza’s most iconic club, and the pressure of capturing rave culture in the age of social media. Louis opens up about: – Film vs digital photography in club culture – Authenticity vs content – The mental battle creatives rarely talk about – Networking in the dance music industry – Why he believes the scene needs more individuality This is a conversation about risk, self-doubt, timing, and carving your own lane in an industry that moves fast and forgets even faster. If you’ve ever considered quitting your 9-5 to follow something creative, this one’s for you. — 🌟 SPONSORS 🎧 Trackstack The…
