Summer Festivals

Before going to France for the summer, I shot a few gigs in Berlin. Biffy Clyro and Vampire Weekend for The Line of Best Fit.Early September, I have also attended the Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland and also shot a few concerts in London : Eels, Matthew E. White and Rizzle Kicks (Itunes Festival).

I had some photographs published in The Guardian, Fuse, Irish Time with some info about the Electric Picnic, another article in The Time about the very popular Arctic Monkeys, an article about the amazing Queens Of The Stone Age in Rolling Stone as well as a review of Rizzle Kicks at the Itunes Festival in London.

I also shot some portraits of John Grant. I was meant to do them in Berlin a few months ago but the soundcheck was running late and my session got reschedule. Have a look on my portraits section for more new images ! I am always very pleased when musicians accept my photo requests, especially because I am always picking bands and musicians who's music I like...

I am now in New York and I will post another update in the next few weeks.

Electric Picnic Pictures

I have attended the Electric Picnic in Ireland last week-end and shot for The Line of Best Fit, but also for this. Great atmosphere this year.I have to say that I was not really looking forward to it as last year edition was cold and rainy and I got lost in the parking lot forever under the rain :) This year was much better, it was also my 60th Cure concert, a bit crazy, but true...

It was great to see Richard Hawley live, he is my new favorite and great to catch up with Cranes too !

A couple of days before the festival, I also found out that one of my image of Arcade Fire from last year edition had been used for the Design of an Heineken online banner. I had not been asked about it but all is well that ends well and I hope I will work with them again !

Iceland

Last week, I just got back from Iceland and left the next day for Reading Festival. I shot lots of bands, my favorite bands to watch were The Cure, Eagles of Death Metal and Two Door Cinema Club. There is a selection of pictures on Flickr.

Now, I have got two more days to spend in London before I leave for the Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland where again The Cure, Grimes, Alabama Shakes, Metronomy and many more are playing ! Looking forward to it ! Hope it won't be raining...
