My Surreal Photographs From Burning Man 2014

ADVERTISEMENT

Last year I attended my first Burning Man festival and had the most insane time of my life. I have never been surrounded by so much creativity and enthusiasm, and as a photographer/videographer I was highly inspired to capture the festival from my own unique perspective.

The whole week felt like a really trippy, lucid dream, and through the use of experimentation and photo-editing, I attempted to express my thoughts and feelings into each photo.

Burning Man truly is a one-of-a-kind festival and I really hope to return this year.

Did you have to use a camera housing to deal with the sand or was that not a problem?

Is that watch melting? Some pictures reminded a lot of Salvador Dali's paintings, who happens to be one of my favorite artists ever :)
