Lost In Time Festival 2023 - Red Stripe Collab

So this past February Red Stripe reached out and asked if I’d like to come to the first Lost In Time Festival held at the Hope Botanical…obviously I said yes. I got there a little bit after the start time but every moment was amazing, from the line up to the food, to the drinks (Red Stripe of course) and an amazing display of reggae music in Jamaica, the country where it all started.

I covered the event with my Lumix G7 and a kit lens. A weird combo, I know. But all things considered I was amazed with the shots I was able to get. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t intimidated by all the other content creators around me with thousands of dollars worth of equipment, meanwhile I’m there with a $700 set up. But the truth is, it didn’t matter; everyone was super respectful of each other and there was a sort of comradery among all the creatives there who are, in their own way, experiencing history being made right in front of our lenses.

Once the day was done and I had time to look through my footage I noticed I over compensated for my less than ideal set up and now had to go through more than 2000 photos to try and decide what works for my collage and what just works.

Well, after a week of post-production dred I finished and here are the results.
