Amplifest finally returned, and so did we.

The pandemic meant that Amplifest, an eclectic music festival, was put on hold, more than one time. Meaning that 2022 would be the grand return to Hard Club, its traditional venue in the downtown of Porto. That hiatus meant that this was a double edition, two weekends that felt like two festivals in a row.

And by the end of that “first festival” I was feeling it was something I’d like to shoot, something I feel very often in live shows. Not just the live performances, but everything else: the passion of the shows, the mood of a small festival, the constant swinging between Hard Club’s two rooms or the relaxed breaks. So I did, in the second weekend I grabbed my small camera, the one I took on that trip just in case I was in the mood for photos outside the festival (and not the most optimal gear for the occasion), and kept taking some snaps throughout those days!
