Festival photography is more than just capturing images—it's about preserving emotions, stories, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. When those memories disappeared, so did a piece of me.🔥 But this episode is not just about loss—it's about resilience, passion, and the lessons learned through hardship.Joining me is Amir Weiss, a world-traveling festival photographer, as we dive deep into the highs and lows of this art form:🎭 The magic of capturing festival culture🌍 Traveling the world through the lens of a camera💡 The role of psychedelics in trance festivals⚖️ Balancing creativity, expectations, and the business of artThis isn’t just for photographers—it’s for anyone who has felt the weight of expectation, the pain of loss, and the thrill of creating something meaningful.💔 Have you ever lost something that meant the world to you?
