I attend riot fest every year – its hands down, the best music festival out there. This year I had an amazing opportunity to assist my friend, ryan, who was shooting for alternative press magazine. We spent alot of our time in the press tent, taking portraits of bands, but also ran around to capture bands backstage, photographed live bands and the fest in general. I also got to enjoy the fest too! I’m still on cloud 9 – but here’s some of my images from the weekend. Ryans portraits that I helped assist can be seen here!
