Lollapalooza 2011

Here are a few shots from frontstage, sidestage and backstage at Lollapalooza 2011 in Chicago, IL.  My favorite set of the weekend was by far Crystal Castles. Alice Glass always gives you something fun to shoot. The rest of the fest was ok but nothing really stood out for me. That said I always love seeing Lykke Li , Ellie Goulding and The Black Lips. This year I tried to do more portraits.  I’m pretty happy with what I got considering I had nothing set up in advance.  Take a look. Full gallery at the end of the post.

    You just need to be on assignment for some kind of magazine, website, wire service. Basically anyone who is doing a “story” on Lolla.
