Aussie Photographer Releasing Music Festival Book

Sydney-born concert photograph Nic Bezzina is preparing to unleash Release the Crowd, a coffeetable book documenting his festival photos.

The book features images from local festivals like Big Day Out, Soundwave, Splendour in the Grass, and Future Music, as well as international events including Wacken in Germany, Sonisphere in the United Kingdown, Primavera Music in Spain, and Hellfest in Spain.

Nic’s looking to the support of passionate music lovers to support the book’s release. You’ve got just five more days to donate to the Kickstarter campaign. Donating could give you some really cool extras, including discounted copies of Release the Crowd, an invite to the book’s launch, prints from its pages, or a one-on-one photography class with Nic himself.

Release the Crowd will hit stores this November.
