Hello! I’m Arron, a journey and way of life photographer from London, England. Being an enormous competition fan and attending the likes of the Oregon Eclipse, Burning Man, CRSSD, Desert Hearts and LIB throughout the USA within the final yr, I felt it was time to strive photographing one once more! I not too long ago met the wonderful Roco from Betty & Kora, who supplied me a media go to shoot my first ever Shambhala for them! Naturally, that wasn’t the one logistic that wanted determining, however after being supplied a truck to borrow by somebody we’d met barely 20 seconds earlier than (I’m not even kidding – THANK YOU ROB!), we couldn’t NOT make it occur!
Truthfully, Shambhala had been overrated a lot by so many individuals, however I nonetheless wasn’t positive what to anticipate. I heard in regards to the river, I heard in regards to the levels, however I nonetheless didn’t actually know what I used to be getting concerned in. Simply that it was imagined to be AMAZING. Was it?
As soon as I adjusted to only chilling through the day, which I’m not used to doing at a competition, the fantastic thing about the competition actually grabbed me! The vibe of Shambhala actually is one thing else – it’s unpretentious. Everybody is actually simply there for a great time. The factor that REALLY grabbed me although had been the levels – Fractal Forest, are you severe?! I spent a lot of my time there, so unhappy that I couldn’t {photograph} there, however on the identical time, I really feel so honored to only have the ability to expertise it! I liked simply strolling round between the levels to see what else was happening, given the whole lot is so shut collectively. An enormous due to my Fancy Unicorns crew for letting me leap on board with them.
Would I am going once more? In a heartbeat – particularly now figuring out what to completely count on! I hope you take pleasure in my photographs, it’s a small glimpse into the magic that’s Shambhala by way of my humble lense.
A lot of love,
