Last weekend I got an opportunity to see many of my favorite bands (NOFX, Flogging Molly, Rise Against and Anti-Flag just to name a few.. and yes, I’m into punk rock) in Ruisrock. I was there to take photos for Aamulehti, but I already knew they would mostly just need the artist photos for the printed paper. The weather was hot (as it is right now) for Finnish standards and people were sweating in more than +30 celsius for three days. In the end, I decided to leave all the artist shots out from my post as these faces tell about the atmosphere better. Stage lights are always more or less the same.

Yep, photographing rock festivals is nothing new and especially not in Finland. But for me, this was the best festival assignment this far. Hands down. So allow me to show you couple of these frames, even though the subjects are probably quite familiar to everyone.
