☠️@bloodstockopenair we came, we saw, we conquered! So nice to shoot without the pressure of needing to create for work. Just self motivation to get the shots I wanted. Im definitely seeing the need for more personal projects! Amazing being in the pit with my partner in crime @kbinnings loved seeing you smile and create magic with me, and thank you for some awesome portraits too!! Big thanks to all the smiles from fellow photographers in the press tent! Great to see you all! ⛺️ . . . . @nikoneurope Z9 . . . #bloodstockfestival #bloodstock #musicphotography #musicphoto #festivalphotography #festivalphotographer #rockfestival #metalhead #numetal #gojira #mastadon #dogma @officialdogma @gojiraofficial @mastodonrocks @vicky.hungerford @alanhungerford 🖤
