Back for its 7th full edition (+1 redux edition last year), Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau EDM festival, IleSoniq, brought in 60,000+ dancing fans over its 3 days. I’ve covered every year of IleSoniq since it began its EDM domination back in 2014.

Ilesoniq Redux 2021
Not sure how to put into words the feeling of being at one of our major outdoor festivals again. It has been a little over 2 years for me. The last outdoor festival I worked at was Ilesoniq back in August 2019. Ilesoniq Redux, a slimmed down version where concert go-ers are set in 500… Continue reading Ilesoniq Redux 2021
IleSoniq 2019 recap | Montreal Concert Photographer
Hard to believe that IleSoniq is only in it’s 6th year (and also my 6th year of being an official festival photographer). Montreal’s EDM festival has steadily grown each year, attracting bigger names and bigger crowds. 78,000 fans flocked to the newly revamped site. 78,000. That’s 39,000 a day (I r gooder at math). Compared… Continue reading IleSoniq 2019 recap | Montreal Concert Photographer

IleSoniq – views of the main stage | Montreal Concert Photographer
After so many years of photographing concerts, from small clubs to 40,000 arenas, I finally got the go by my client to cover the main stage of a major festival at IleSoniq this year. It wasn’t expected (I have only been hired by Evenko to cover their main festivals for 3 years – this being… Continue reading IleSoniq – views of the main stage | Montreal Concert Photographer
Dancing all day at IleSoniq 2015
Ahhh IleSoniq. In only it’s second year, the third of three summer festivals put on by local uber promoter Evenko happened last weekend. After 3 days of Indie and Hip Hop music at Osheaga, some headbanging at Heavy Montreal, it was time to put away the guitars and take out the turntables for IleSoniq! I… Continue reading Dancing all day at IleSoniq 2015
6 things I learned shooting EDM | Montreal Concert Photographer
I have photographed DJs before. While EDM/electro (whatever you want to call it) is not my scene, I always found it a challenge breaking out of my comfort zone and try to output the best images I can. But they were always bigger name artists that were on stage and I had the typical 3… Continue reading 6 things I learned shooting EDM | Montreal Concert Photographer
