Read MoreCome checkout my gallery from the amazing Balter Festival in Chepstow, South Wales. My first time at this little gem, just a short drive across the Severns Bridge from Bristol. A lot of you have been asking for photos and while I cant reply to you all ( as much as id love to) I have put together a little highlights gallery for you all. Enjoy!
Read MoreThis years CampBestival hosted an impressive line up, with The likes of Mr Tumble... Jokes, but seriously he was pretty ace, there was confetti and everything! The Castle stage was hosted by Saturday night headline act Kaiser Chiefs, Ella Eyre, George the Poet, DJ Underworld, Clean Bandit, Wretch 32 along with many other fabulous artists.
Unfortunately I couldn't stick around much over the weekend as I was knee deep in weddings however I did shoot a few artists on Saturday and captured a bit of the magic. This festival breads so much positive energy its definitely worth a look in. Even if your not a kid, this festival has loads to do and see that adults and teens will still find interesting and fun to watch.
Think my favourite part of this weekend was seeing some of the horses from Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. The riders and horses were incredible and so majestic!
Heres a few shots for you guys
Thanks for looking,
JB
Bestival is on its way! I was going to wait until after to post but couldn't wait to mention it. This will be another great experience, shooting from a different publication perspective but (hush hush at the moment) all will be revealed as the festival kicks off.
Bestival is a wonderful festival with lots of colour, hills amazing acts and stages. I think one of my most favourite places to visit, stage wise would have to be the Port I hope to see my friends from AREA51 there this year, as they are some of the best Fire and dance acts I've seen!
We have some headline acts so far, such as Missy Elliot, Duran Duran, and The Chemical Brothers, of course more to follow and I cannot wait to see who we have showing up next!
Im heading down on Thursday afternoon with the car since its all sorted and will hopefully be seeing lots of my Photo-Family from up and down the country.
More to come as the festival starts but its safe to say, IM EXCITED!

This year has been so productive and its only June, my third year shooting this historic festival but first time officially. The Isle of Wight has been stage to so many legends in its time from Jimi Hendrix to this years Fleet Wood Mac. With so many great acts playing at so many new and exciting stages, there was a lot of responsibility to make sure the images we captured were up to a very high standard and captured the essence of what the festival stands for.
Heres a few images from this year, found on the Isle of Wight Festival website and Facebook page.
"Special thanks to the guys and girls at Dawbell and Solo PR for all your help and buggy runs! Not forgetting the existing Isle of Wight Festival team who were so welcoming. Liz Murray, Callum Baker, Sara Lincoln, Dylan Roberts."
