Whilst at Download last year, in between bands I decided to make the most of being back stage and take portraits of the awesome people around me.
This is something a little bit out of my comfort zone so was defiantly a bit of a challenge to over come some mild anxiety around going up to strangers and asking if they’d like their photo taken.
I am very glad I did this though as I adore the photos and think it shows an otherwise unseen side to the festival.
Below are the photos I took over the weekend of the wonderful people in the press area -
I also took portraits of musicians as they came into the press area and behind the Avalanche Stage, these are below -
