Zac Efron turns 39 on 18 October. Fifteen years ago, in the week of his 24th birthday, I photographed him in Soho. These archive pictures were taken outside The Box nightclub on Walker's Court in the early hours of 21 October 2011, after a night out on 20 October. Three frames from the pavement, in the dark, in the middle of a birthday week.
