The Brief
Capture the electric energy of Teddy Rocks Festival’s first-ever sell-out at Charisworth Farm, Blandford Forum, Dorset. Focus on the blend of charitable spirit, family-friendly moments, standout performances, and immersive crowd scenes, weaving in the festival’s significance as a 3-day fundraiser for Teddy20.
The Approach
I took a documentary-level approach, shooting candid scenes that reflect the festival’s heart – from emotive moments with families and children involved in the Teddy20 charity, to live performances and festival culture. I balanced stage coverage of headline acts (Punk Rock Factory, Hybrid Theory, Peter André, B*witched) with crowd emotion, campsite life, and interactive areas, all while capturing the inclusive, community-driven vibe.
The Result
The images visually document Teddy Rocks’ historic milestone as its first sell-out event (5,000‑strong crowd), raise awareness for the Teddy20 charity, and showcase the vibrant community atmosphere. They provided powerful visual content for organisers and media to highlight the festival’s impact, energy, and inclusive spirit.
