I love Austin City Limits Festival ! My third time at this amazing festival with tons of cool bands playing. My favorites were Lizzo, The Cure, Idles, Japanese House and Shura. Click the link below to see a few of my images from the weekend. Thanks to Freshclean Media for always being so accomodating, Line of Best Fit for sending me there and RS.
Sebastien Tellier
Last week, I shot a couple of gigs at the Summer Series at the Somerset House. I've catch Tindersticks, Emmy the Great, Anna Calvi and Cold Specks. My highlight was definitely shooting Traction festival in Kings Cross for The Line of Best Fit. Especially because I got to shoot some portrait of French singer Sebastien Tellier ! I've put my favorite in my Portrait section and there is a few more on flickr.
Primavera
Primavera is always a bit of a challenge as there is about 200 photographers to share the pits with... Here are my pros and cons of this year festival.+ Sun + Seeing the Cure + Shooting Portraits of Josh T Pearson - one of the greatest beard around + Richard Hawley + Goat cheese salad
- The storm on the last day and no tent to put us in - Shooting the Cure (the worse pictures of my Cure history - I will blame the high stage and the other 200 photographers)... - Waking up after three hours sleep - Not understanding anything - Too many point and shoot
One of the good things is that I met Josh T Pearson who accepted to do a portrait session. However I had to wake up after only three hours sleep to do the shoot at the hotel. I waited patiently half asleep for him and his Manager to arrive, behind Marianne Faithful... I would have love to bump into Warren Ellis who played the Festival with the Dirty Three but unfortunately it didn't happen !
Since I have been back from Primavera, I have only shot one gig : Jack White at Brixton !
