Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of where and just how fortunate you are when trying to cover events. It's more work than most would think and the days are absolutely exhausting. But moments like these I try to get a few shots early and then sit back and enjoy. I end up crowd watching as much if not more than watching the shows. The joy and togetherness music can bring into the world is a beautiful and inspiring thing. It brings me an inner sense of gratitude not much else in the world does. @rebelutionmusic shows are always at the top of that. The way the crowd reacts and sings to every song creates a vibe like not many others can. Here's just a few shots from their set at #rrufl I'm sure I'll post some more later as well. @rebelutionmusic @reggaeriseup_florida 📸 @soflovybz #reggaeriseup #reggaeriseupflorida #rru #rrufam #rrufl #rrufl24 #vinoypark #stpete #downtownstpete #reggae #rock #music #livemusic #festival #floridareggae #calireggae #soflovybz #goodtimes #goodvibes #rebelution #ericrachmany #kyleahern #marleydwilliams

It was just a month ago when we rocked the Sugarshack Music Channel Stage at Reggae Rise Up Florida in St. Pete's! That was a special day, massive thanks to all the amazing fans & friends who brought the vibes, wow. We are stoked to return to St. Pete's on Saturday June 15th and do it all over again at The Floridian Social. #TheResolvers #ReggaeRiseUpFlorida #TheFloridianSocial #StPetersburg #StPetes #StPete #FloridaReggae #CentralFlorida #TampaBay #Tampa #TampaReggae #Reggae #ReggaeArtist #ReggaeBand #TheDubCollectors #EricSwanson #florida
Reggae 🖤💚💛❤️ Rise Up ⬆️ Night 3. Seeing the Marley Brothers, Stephen and Damien, was the best part of the festival for me! My first time seeing Stephen, and wow he looks the most like his Dad. Such a cool experience, about as close as you’ll ever get to hearing the sound of Bob Marley live, my number one favorite musician! #reggae #reggaemusic #reggaeriseup #reggaelove #reggaelife #reggaelover #music #damienmarley #florida #floridavacation #stpetersburg #stpete #saintpeterburg #stpetersburgflorida #saintpetersburgfl #festival #reggaefestival #musicislife #feedmysoul #reggaeriseupflorida #vinoypark #stephenmarley #musiclove #musicfestival #musiclover #musicphotography #musicphoto #livemusicphotography

I'm terrible at posting pics. I take a ton, but then I want to edit everything so I never get around to posting them. Well, reggae rise up was a month ago so I'm just going to throw these out there over the next few days. Got to meet so many awesome people and discovered a ton of new music. More to come!

@protoje has consistently been my favorite modern artist over the last few years. It was a pleasure to witness the vibrations again after almost a year and even more so to see the Reggae Rise Up crowd getting energized over a diaspora artist. It's imperative for festivals like this to continue to promote international Reggae music especially the diaspora. Big Up to Proto for the amazing set and to everyone who was there and kept the energy! @protoje @reggaeriseup_florida 📸 @soflovybz #reggaeriseup #reggaeriseupflorida #rru #rrufam #rrufl #rrufl24 #vinoypark #stpete #downtownstpete #reggae #jamaicanmusic #jamaicanartist #music #livemusic #festival #floridareggae #calireggae #soflovybz #goodtimes #goodvibes #protoje #kingdigg #indiggnation
@ballyhoorocks pt 1/ ♾️ because i have way too many good shots of them. Being 1 foot away from the speakers and feeling the vibrations going through every cell of my body was one of the greatest sensory feelings i have ever experienced. The hardest part of trying to make posts from this is trying to select the photos… not too many because i don’t want any to get buried but not too few… it’s the hardest part of being a photographer 🥲 @reggaeriseup_florida #photography #concertphotography #concertphotographer #livemusicphotographer #southfloridaphotographer #reggaeriseupflorida
As always @realcolliebuddz and the crew got the crowd going at RRU FL. No matter if you're there for the rock reggae bands or the diaspora, Collie is the meeting point between fanbases. He's one of a VERY few artists that have that ability. He can sell out a show in the mid western U.S., the Caribbean, the U.K. or anywhere else and doesn't get enough credit for that in my mind. The set was tight and sounded great. The crowd and the vibes were high. Big Up Collie and the team for a great performance everytime. 🫡 @realcolliebuddz @reggaeriseup_florida 📸 @soflovybz #reggaeriseup #reggaeriseupflorida #rru #rrufam #rrufl #rrufl24 #vinoypark #stpete #downtownstpete #reggae #music #livemusic #festival #floridareggae #calireggae #soflovybz #goodtimes #goodvibes #colliebuddz #loveandreggae #ineffablemusic #takeiteasy @igzkatz @abel_cadillac @djgenie @ineffablemusic @ineffablelive
Someone asked me earlier in the day if I planned on catching @lilaike set @reggaeriseup_florida... I responded with a "you're f****** crazy if you think I'm missing it!". I soon realized I wasn't the only one with that sentiment. When other artists from previous days as well as headliners across the festival start to line the sides of the stage early, you realize it's one of those rare performances to witness. Blessed for the amount of opportunities I've had to see this Queen perform and blown away every time.

This is my favorite group of guys to shoot 📷 @joeycalderaio To get to photograph these guys on such a big stage is one of the most genuinely cool/big deal things. It’s so dope to see where their going 📈 Swipe to the end to see the first time i shot for them back in 2017.

We hit the Vibe stage early Friday at #rrufl24 to catch @daleandthezdubs set. It was hot but the guys showed up shirtless / sleeveless (as those northeastern rock reggae guys always do). These scoundrels wreaked havoc all over RRU and St. Pete for the remainder of the weekend as well.

📷It was a great pleasure to meet professional photographer Angela from North Carolina at RRU. She’s very friendly, pretty, and extremely genuine. Her dedication and passion working the main stage was very impressive. The stories she shared about how the whole operation works at different venues was absolutely fascinating.

RRUF24" The second I hit the Tampa airport it felt like I never stopped for the whole weekend. I just was soaking up all the good vibes and checking everything the festival had to offer.
