The festival aims to harness the power of live events to bring people together for incredible music moments and lasting positive change.
Do you want to shoot at live music events, photograph artists, bands, musicians, speakers, festival goers and stages – with the chance to learn from industry professional photographers on location? How about an opportunity to develop your skills at Bristol’s brand new festival?
