Desert Daze - Festival 2021

I was so happy to be back taking photos in the US after such a long time not beeing able to travel due to the Pandemic !

With Lake Perris in southern California as its backdrop, Desert Daze aims to be an intimate Festival with a sharp Line Up and an amazing atmosphere ! The 2021 edition was scaled down but still pretty exciting with The War on Drugs, Kamasi Washington, Deap Vally, Ty Segall, Kikagaku Moyo and many more bands on the bill. Definetely one on my list of favorite Festivals. A few pictures below :

Primavera Sound Barcelona - Festival 2019

Primavera Sound is one of my favorite festival to attend. This year, with their New Normal Line Up, they offered a 50/50 gender balanced Line-Up. A huge step for the industry where diversity isn’t so well represented. Click the image below for some photos of the event.
