Northlight Weekender

Three days, four stages and a press office that needed pictures on socials before the act had left the ramp. I filed in twenty-minute batches from a tent behind the sound desk.

Filed Rolling, 20 minutes behind the stage

Northlight books me for the whole weekend rather than a day, which changes how you shoot it: you stop hunting for the one frame and start building a run that reads as a festival. Main stage in the pit for the first three, then out to the field for the crowd, then back for the headline.

The press office wanted usable pictures inside half an hour of every set, so I worked off two bodies and a card reader in a tent behind the sound desk, culling on the walk back. A hundred and twenty-eight frames went out over the weekend and the last one landed at ten past midnight on the Sunday.
