A few days after I photographed Osheaga Festival for ADDICTED Magazine, I ran into my editor, Nadia Elkharadly, who commented on the ethnic and gender diversity of the artists I covered. Of the 41 artists I saw at Osheaga, 39% had female representation, and 41% had POC representation.

While I was armed with a long lens (70-200mm and a 2x extender), The roughly 10 photographers who were approved for the show were all herded into a tiny section of the area near

Aussie multi-instrumentalist, Tash Sultana, graced Toronto for the very first time. Us photogs are typical spoiled when it comes to shows at the Danforth Music Hall - sightlines are great, the stage isn't too high, and there's a photo pit.
