Very proud of this video. It's been complete for two-months, sitting on my hard-drive. A lot of things came into place the way I wanted it for this video- I had been working very hard on getting a ronin-M to increase my production value. As well as I had doubled my efforts in studying colouring techniques. I was almost thwarted when Premiere Pro was just not cooperating with me. Depression was at my door! Then the silver lining came in the form of Final Cut Pro X! I willed myself to learn it in a short space of time, and despite some things I wished to be there, I managed to really churn out one of the best edits I've ever done (I think personally).
The feedback thus far has been really good, thanks to everyone who told me a job well done. I'm really, really glad you like it!
Like Living in Brussels
Photo study of a week (kinda) living in Brussels, Belgium
We left the Netherlands via a very comfortable train ride. I love train rides over airplanes, because I really hate things like Immigration checks, security, customs, middle seats, luggage weight restriction, Turbulence, People reclining into your personal space, I could go on forever.. but these are things you usually don't have to deal with on trains. Only hurdle is bringing your luggage all the way to the train, which really isn't an issue for me. Once I get into that comfy spacious seat, I can get so much work done. Anyway!
Arriving in Brussels-Midi Station
After what felt like a too quick 90-minute train ride, we pulled in to the most familiar place in europe for me; Brussels. I was washed with a light wave of nostalgia, it's been almost a year since my last time in Brussels, but arriving there it really felt so much shorter.
Single file off the train the whole Indiggnation was once again in Brussels, for four consecutive days off.
Grabbed a couple Taxi's and took a short drive from Midi central to the legit center of Brussels. We rented a couple apartments instead of staying in some hotels. More space, more const efficient, and defininitely more comfortable.
4 Days Living in Brussels
I decided based on feedback via social media, that people wanted to see a bit more culture and the like, so these photos are just a study of the time spent in Brussels and the things I saw, or thought were worth seeing/sharing.
This is just the living room o:
Getting work done in these spaces, despite the sub-par net (i've seen way worse)
The view from our 3rd floor apartments.
We were listening to Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 when, she played "Glad You're Home" off Royalty Free (big deal)
Paris and Kongz (DrumKeys) doing the usual late night routine.
Night time views
This one is a special gift to all my fellow sweet-tooths out there... I didn't have any because... too much sugar lol.
My favourite place in Brussels: A camera store called PCH.de, they have a used section which is in a window right beside the actual store, and I'll stand in front scanning for even 30 mins, perusing and contemplating while people walk past me. The staff is very polite and cool and they remember me since I bought my Sony camera here as well.
This is a view from another of my favourite type of place- 90% of wherever you may be in Europe, you're bound to find a Kebab spot, run by middle easterns. They serve various types of portable meals: Durums - which is the wrap..., Kebab... which I believe is more of a sandwich type thing.. and then there's a plate- where you get everything but a starch if that's more your vibe. They serve Pork (Porc), Beef (Boeuf), Chicken (Poulet) and the vegetarian option is a Falafel. The food is good and cheap.. I'm always in a Kebab spot.
Shopping district in Brussels. ALWAYS crowded.
Viet-Thai restaurant we frequented often YAKI. Also, she's NOT giving Diggy the stink eye, I swear
Display inside YAKI... would you believe that this food is plastic?
We spent our last night at home in Brussels watching the Wales versus Belgium match.. the streets were deathly quiet after the loss, humorous and sad at the same time.
At the end of this post you might ask- "Yannick, why is almost everything in black and white?"
I know I usually pride myself on providing colourful and bright images, but for this post I really wanted to give you the reader an impression of the city as well as the time spent there. I felt colour may have served as more of a distraction, than an enhancer in this case. The black and white allows you to see the scene and the story, versus the aesthetics. I included colour in an image only when I thought that the colour worked to enhance your understanding, versus taking from it.
If you enjoy black and white photography, and want to see more, I'd recommend you check out my friend and colleague Jik-Reuben's Website as he specializes in Black and white photography

Groningen & Utrecht - Return to the Netherlands
Lost baggage in the country below sea level
GRONIGEN
Return of the G
Landed in the Netherlands, real quick from Gatwick airport. only to go to the conveyor belt to pick up our bags.. but after waiting 30 mins and only two members had their bags.. we knew something was wrong. Turns out British Airways left like half the flight's luggage back in the UK. Never experienced something like that before. it was literally like HALF the flight... BA said they'd bring the bags on the next flight coming into the Netherlands, so we didn't have much of a choice with our schedule but to go.
As you can see.. the gang looks a bit light.
To just interject (might sound like a bit of a humble brag), I wasn't as bothered as the other members because I had experienced a bag loss before in italy.. and equipment was in that bag- loned equipment might I add. I sweat my skin off the rest off the tour, fortunately I got back the bag, and vowed I'd never put anything I couldn't replace into a check on bag.. ever. So my carry on has three days of clean clothes and my equipment is distributed between my backpack and carry on bag. That plus I had a strong feeling we were gonna get it back.
Not much to worry about with nice hotels like these
drive the venue...
The festival was a two day festival over a period of two days at two different indoor venues in Holland, the first being in Groningen, and the second being Utrecht.
Monty's pedals for the show that night. these arent actually his..... those were in his luggage- in the UK
Check out the gallery below for the show vibes-
UTRECHT
We left Groningen early the next day with less than happy campers, as our bags hadn't reached the hotel as promised. The update was that they hadn't even reached Netherlands allegedly... complaints floated through the air.
We were still promised that the bags would reach our next hotel (kinda skeptic as it was now four hours away from Amsterdam) but I just kept my mind open.
Don't mind me too much but I was just impressed by the composition of these bathroom toiletries (lol)
Luckily, while at the hotel resting before the show, we got the call from the lobby that our luggage reached. I thought I responded to the call pretty quickly, but on my way to the lobby, everyone was already on their way back to their rooms, faces grinning with their bags.
Backstage pre-show views.
Collie Buddz performed at today's festival as well
Show in the Gallery below! Up next is the Euros in Paris, France
The Mud Monster of Glastonbury
Trying not to fall into the mud, but I failed
For more than a year, I've been warned about Glastonbury. The prestige of being the largest festival in the UK seemed to be overshadowed by the monster of a daunting task it has become. Many faces twist, and wince at the mention of the festivals name. I believed what everyone said.. It was just the magnitude I had yet to experience.
NIGHT 1
Landed at Heathrow after a sleep filled flight, grogginess was no where near over though.
Land pon 'ih scene
Indiggnation filled on a bus for a 3 hour drive (after an 8 hour flight) from London to Bristol where would stay that night
Becca D
Packaged a bunch of Royalty free CDs fresh from the pack that we'll be giving away through the whole tour
A Glastonbury artist ticket
No amount of words could have prepared me for the complicated mess that was Glastonbury. The van left out with a small crew of myself, Claire, Protoje, Becca D and Greg. Proto was to perform the "Who Knows" Remix during Shy FX's set at DJ Annie Mac's stage, and Becca was doing a DJ set at the Rum Kitchen stage.
We sat in gridlocked traffic heading into the event for about an hour, seeing the mud take over the landscape with each small drive forward in the van.
M U D .
I was worried.. I thought I was prepared for the mud- I brought an old pair of sneakers specifically for Glastonbury but I would soon learn first hand that it was nowhere near enough for the ankle deep mud we were to face. Looking out the window, everyone I saw was decked in water boots (apparently called 'wellies' in the UK) walking like half balanced toddlers through the mud. It looked so grim.
It really may sound like I'm complaining but it was just the most complicated experience... Glasto is HUGE, I mean huge! I'll link an aerial shot of the grounds here for you to have a look. it's about the size of a city.. 10 miles long. the best way to describe it- is multiple festivals.. within a festival. Our van being stopped about 8 different times to check tickets and bands by annoyed security.. walking from the entrance to the stage we were headed to would surely have taken anywhere over 45mins- so serious.
Just HALF of the camping section alone is as big as some festivals i've been to.
If you look at this photo above.. the little silver coloured specs near the forrest.. is Glastonbury.. just one part. It was bananas.
eventually we reached Annie Mac's BBC radio 1 stage in time. Shy FX was already on playing a variety of Jungle remixes.
I'll let you assume what Becca D has in her magic bottle
After leaving the stage, and a short wait.. having to switch vans at one point.. I fell in the mud. My track shoes didn't have enough grip to hold firm in the mud, and (because I have bad knees) my kneecap slipped out and I fell on my back in the mud. I'd be lying to you if I said it didn't kill my vibe.. considering we had about 5 more hours at the festival. I was mostly grateful I didn't hurt myself OR MY EQUIPMENT. something told me to keep them in my backpack as I traversed the mud, so I was only left with my pride bruised... which would eventually recover quickly.. but the discomfort of being 30% covered in mud was a bit harder to shake.
Having to get out the van and walk another distance to get to Becca's stage was honestly a short ordeal.
before she went on there was a trap/poet artist performing who's name escapes me, but he was good.
Becca's diverse dancehall set had people grooving in the mud (if you look closely at the ground), even me in my clay-face outfit found myself bumping at some points. Dancehall away from home just.. get's you more pumped than usual
after this, was another long muddy drive back to the hotel. got in at about 2 something am.. and spent the rest of my night (morning) washing my hoodie and sweats and kicks to wear the next day. I was feeling far too sorry for myself, to even take a photo of them. I was downed by the unsureness if they would dry in time for the morning because I was certainly NOT about to risk another GOOD set of clothes for tomorrow's longer adventure at Mudfe- I mean Glastonbury.

NIGHT 2
The fall from before really set me off, to be keeping honest. I had an increased waryness that I didn't have the day before. But I was armed with some wallies of my own for 10 euros, so that boosted my confidene probably back to a regular number.
Day 2 was scheduled to have been much more of a task than yesterday. Today's Agenda included two sets with the band at different stages, and after would be three feature sets with Proto at some tents of industry friends of his.
Inception
the same squad we built yesterday came over in the van today. Driving past all the mud a second time was like returning to a lost fight, unsure of how today's tussle will go.
The band arrived at the venue, earlier than our bus to do line check and all the necessary pre-band stuff. Claire bought waterboots for everyone, so once we reached backstage it was... quite a thing.
Vince staples was chilling backstage, scheduled to perform right before us, and after his dope coachella set, I had to steal even a piece of his set the day.
Just believe me when I say its him lol.
One thing about Glasto, in comparison to Coachella, is there was veeeery little aversion to photography. While I was shooting with a smaller camera most of the time, even when I did pull out my clunky DSLR there were no threats to take away my equipment lol
First performance above was at West Holts stage. where we got a very riles up and enthusiastic crowd. While shooting front stage, I had to move quite gingerly through the mud, but my wellies made this a very manageable affair, I was pleased.
Shots of the stage above to give you an idea of what it looks like.
Afterwords I sat and watched Proto sign a long line of autographs, with some very peculiar looking fans
She wanted him to sign her chest...
Image is blurry but I wanted you to see the LEVELS of mud.
After the performance at west holt, we had a few hours before Proto's next performance.I was gathering myself when Becca mentioned that Stormzy (one of my favourite british grime acts) was performing on a stage nearby. I became instantly conflicted, because we had to walk through the actual crowd for a distance to get to the stage where Stormzy was. It looked pretty shaky. the general crew seemed interested in seeing the Stormz so we gathered some morale to head over there.
Even in my boots, it was super deep mud, everyone in the crew almost slipped.. the whole walk was filled with flashbacks, but excitement increased as I could hear Stormzy's actual voice floating through the air.
Got to watch the show from backstage and sidestage and sang along at max volume to his closing song "Shut Up". can't believe how lucky I was to catch it. Just need to see Skepta live now.
Diggy and #Merky
Even got to meet stormzy... #worthit.
Here my glasto story ends on a pretty wack note. While driving from stage to stage, SOMEHOW, my wellies fell out the van... actually one of them. I'm certain I placed them carefully to one side but I think traffic moving in and out of the van accidentally tossed one. So being short one boot, I was unable to go with Proto to the rest of the Glastonbury perfomances.. (which I heard were lit) Bummer.
overall to be honest, I thought Coachella was a bad experience, but for me Glastonbury was much worse. It has its pros and cons. Glastonbury is like three times the size of Coachella (maybe even larger, I've walked around and across the whole grounds Coachella, while it took us 20 mins to even get to one stage to a next via Van). I'm not a big fan of mud or dirt. I really like to be nimble and free in my work, so the mud was a restriction for getting images as well as getting comfortable enough to enjoy the whole experience. Also the grounds seem way too large to even navigate to see the acts you want to. I'd have to admit it's just a different culture. I don't think most Jamaicans would enjoy Glastonbury as the UK patrons do. Most of them were pretty "comfortable" in the mud, and camping on site. That's just not for me. It was certainly cool to be able to say that I experienced it though!

Vlog on the way
A quick gaze into London
A curious angle of photographic storying of my stay in London for a week
Previous visits to the UK were always short. A flying turnover of usually 36 hours (or less), with Protoje thus far, its just been one show and on to the next one.
Leaving Jamaica Friday afternoon, to reach London Heathrow on Saturday, I was looking at just a few hours shy of a week in the UK.Working with Protoje to coordinate a huge feature on "Later...With Jools", and some live radio shows in London.
Despite the quick hustle of events crammed in the short time,
I still found some time to engage my photographic eye to gain an impression of my stay. Not a whole lot of images- but some select images that I felt painted my perspective of curiosity in my first extended stay in the United Kingdom
Record store run by some Jamaicans a few minutes from paddington.. passed through here to do an editorial shoot.
For those who watched the "Later with Jools", it was filmed in the warehouse above. Not in London, but about an Hour and a half away in Kent
Some of the dopest set design I've seen in my short lil' life (real life that is)
I was told I couldn't take photos during the live show, which I kind of understand, but still stole a shot of Jools Holland (the man in suit)
Post show vibe.
London.
Outside one (of the seemingly many) BBC buildings
Top Gear fans, Rejoice!
Peering down from the 8th floor of the 2nd BBC building- There's a main building for the television broadcast, and a building mostly for radio (from my understanding, I could be wrong)
BBC 1xtra live lounge
Loved the lighting in here. It was pretty dope to be in this room after watching so many live lounges on youtube.
To watch the actual video click here
Protoje w/ A.Dot from BBC1xtra
Inside the Maida Vale BBC building, to do another live show with Annie Mac
Strategic ration share.
Found this studio very interesting as it reminds me a whole lot of Tuff Gong's recording studio.
A photo I took inside Tuff gong space as a reference
Last few hours in London
Youthful energy in "Ova" - A portrait study
Portrait study of the faces in the 'OVA' freestyle video.
Recently, Protoje and I released a freestyle video we shot all the way back in February up Skyline (premiered on FADER along with details for the upcoming North American Tour)
This video features a bunch of Young, vibrant, up and coming musicians from Jamaica, all in one place.. I couldn't let something that rare go without some form of Documentation.
So I set up an inpromptu little shoot with Jamaica as the background... pretty fitting. One day probably these faces will be one of your favourite artists (directors, producers, musicians, etc. etc.)
Brookly Bowl, Las Vegas #CoachellaTour2016
Vegas vibes and Yannick almost gets arrested
Another huge hotel/casino rolled into one.. bigger than the last one + it's vegas so it was just a totally different energy and night life vibe. I almost got arrested apparently
The funny story here before the pictures:
we hopped the balcony of our venue to jump on an adjoining roof, to get a shot for a video. We were there for roughly 5 minutes, we were waiting on someone to bring a charger. Then out of the cracks and other roof, a security guard pops up.. smiling like the chesire cat, asking if we have clearance to be up there. (Spoiler: we don't), he continues to smile at us.. he pulls his walkie talkie strapped to his shirt, closer to his mouth without losing eye contact with me. In the back of my field of vision we see some people from our venue appear o the balcony where we came from.. there arms are folded.. they are displeased lol! The guard asks us who we are.. we explain that we playing the brooklyn bowl tonight, I point to Protoje, tell the guard he's the artist. The guard looks over at the guys from our venue- "Do you know these guys?".. They shake their heads from side to side disapprovingly.. I nervously laugh. Once again the security guard fixes his gaze on me and repeats his walkie talkie movement,.. this time saying "The guys from brooklyn bowl don't know these guys", at me he says "Do you guys have ID".. I try to look innocent by saying no. At this point I knew that was code for, I want to stall you and arrest you while more guards come... same time I see another guard popping up from the other roof. I look back at Proto and Paris and they're like "Let's go".. Proto shouts to the guard "hey man, we're gonna get off".. I scurry off without another word, Two guards now looking at my back as I clumsily climb back over to our balcony. The promoter or person who's in charge of brooklyn Bowl.. a guy who looks like Colonel sanders, tells me to get rid of my camera and rig and he doesnt wanna see it again. then they banned me from taking pictures later and a whole lotta extra drama with police that pretty much blew over....
godddamn...

Coachella ! Weekend 1 - #CoachellaTour2016
First weekend of US Music's largest music festival; Coachella
First weekend of Coachella was way too hectic for words.. having to work there was.. an extremely stressful experience (lol). Oh dear. Coachella's grounds are way too huge.. you have to take a golf cart everywhere.. some places you aren't even allowed to work there.. and once it reaches a certain time.. it's just too crazy.
Lot's of red tape as well.. No video allowed, and they're serious about it. Shot some video on stage during Protoje's performance, only to get paged side stage and they made me delete the videos (the alternative was having my equipment seized... and I wasn't feeling that) + I was only really allowed to shoot during Protoje's set. Nah lie.. stress level was way up there (but i'll do better next weekend).
The best thing I thought to do was to really just snap my experience, and download it and upload it here so that maybe you can get a better understanding of the vibes beyond what words could say
If this presentation suits you (lol), you can follow my snapchat: TheTherapistSOL also, follow Protoje's Snapchat: diggybritish
Observatory, Santa Ana - #CoachellaTour2016
First show on the #CoachellaTour2016
The pace of this tour doesn't allow me much time to do my illustrious written post, apologies for all who take the time to read. I'm plenty days late but I'll keep it quick and let the photos do the talking
we went to SSUR in LA before heading over to LA. Amazing art inside the store and met the owner Russlan (who made like 90% of the artwork in the photos).
One big up to Club Diamonds Ja! with the dope fit.
show gallery below is a standard.
UNRELEASED: Trinidad Vlog - Protoje & The Indiggnation
In a series of many unreleased videos and vlogs that I have in my possession, I present to you: A recap of our show in Trinidad
I might upload the Tobago one.. who knows what's next.. just #WatchThisSpace
San Fransisco, Fresno, Bakersfield & Arizona
A huge (and pretty late) post of the last four shows on the Winter Greens Tour with Protoje: San Fran, Fresno, Bakersfield and Phoenix! You really don't wanna miss this one! (Many) Galleries inside!
For the last four shows, wifi and time wasn't a constant, also we left from the last show in Arizona and went straight to the plane, it was crazy. I dont know how you readers will feel about me bundling everything into one (pretty late) post, but amma learn today!
San Fran - The Independent
Reached a big city like San Fran, I played truant for a bit- I usually spend my days editing everything from the night before, but I couldn't be in such a booming city and not do anything.
I took my first uber (that I called myself) and went into the town...
whenever I don't have my camera in my hand I just turn into an awestruck civilian. San Fran is a lively city, I really kinda was selfish in just exploring and then took a couple shots when I was leaving the area
My view from the backseat of the Uber
The show itself was just on the outskirts of downtown at a venue called the independent. The energy was buzzing, the whole block was filled with fans trying to get in considering the show was sold out like 2 or 3 days before. There were even peeps on the outside scalping tickets, it was crazy.
The sold out show itself was excellent
Place was so packed I couldn't even get to the front row.. felt like Jamaica.
Fresno, California -
Woke up on the bus in what seemed like the middle of nowhere,
only to realise it was a park (lol), Fresno's venue was an outdoor amphitheater.
I love outdoor day shows, they have a totally different vibe from being inside a dark club sardined with a bunch of people.
This was probably my favourite show if i'm not mistaken (also because I had 4 or more glasses of red wine)
Bakersfield, CA
According to the Uber driver.. Bakersfield is known for oil and country music.. fun fact.
she also said the part of town we were in for the show is the "live" part of town where "everything" is.. based on what I saw was kinda hard to believe. Bakersfield in the day seemed like a quiet sunday of a town, with only an occasional car passing.
Couple phone shots:
what I had for lunch out there, a falafel on a food truck.
the Fox Theatre in Bakersfield where we played at. Dopeness
some dope art in the surrounding area nearby
The Fox theatre as I said is a huge indoor Theatre-Theatre, with an upstairs and downstairs, and we damn sure filled that up by showtime!
Phoenix, Arizona - Pot of Gold Festival
The last show, funnily enough wasn't a reggae festival, but more a hip hop one.
the middle of Arizona, not surprisingly the HOTTEST location, with dry air that left my chest burning.
Shared a backstage with names like Earl Sweatshirt and Rae Sremmurd
What was particularly dope about Arizona is
you could tell that it was a majority of the audience's first time hearing Protoje, much less any Reggae from Jamaica.
it was a core hip hop audience that seemingly came to get wild and turn up
and they enjoyed it!
as a creative director, seeing that Protoje has high potential to cross over into markets like these- perform before the likes of Earl, Sremm and Big Sean and not fall on deaf ears is a good sign
It was all in all a good show, plus I got to see Earl Sweatshirt and Rae Sremm live! (had to leave before Big Sean! *weeps*)
An excellent way to end a tour in my opinion!
Next Tour is in April for our short Coachella run! This was my first time keeping a consistent photo blog while travelling so I'm pretty green in the gills. I'd love some feedback as to how I did, as well as what I could have done to improve. I'm definitely gonna give a more concentrated effort for the coachella run so the feedback would really help! (One thing I know I'm gonna do for sure is save all my snaps from snapchat and repost them in the blog)
You guys can hit me up on my socials (My twitter: @TheTherapistSOL) to tell me what you think and wanna see:

A little street and heat in Ventura, Cali
Yesterday I woke up in Ventura, California. The first stop since Miami i've been able to wear shorts! It's an hour away from Los Angeles, and has a real stereotypical "Cali" feel to it. We're here for four days (Show day yesterday, Show day same venue today, and 2 days off), so don't mind me if some images look a bit.... similar.
Thus far it's mostly been stage shots I've been sharing but I made the effort to walk around the place for a bit and get some shots.
Shot with my Phone
Shot with my phone
I actually managed to take some street shots WITH my ACTUAL camera.
Some highlights from the show of course:

Yesterday's venue was in a HUGE casino! it was insane. Sounds of bells, and slots ringing

One of the joys of performance photography, is having to deal with incompetent lighting directors, that use ugly harsh colours that burn out most of the details of the skin of the subject. So thanks to the LIGHTING DIRECTOR/ENGINEER.. we have a black and white set :)

Santa Cruz, CA II - The Catalyst
Deja Vu in The Catalyst
More of the same here, bit of Deja Vu. Two sold out shows at the same venue. Crowd was just as full, just like the vibes.
Santa Cruz, CA - The Catalyst
Herb Bakeries and jumping through windows in Santa Cruz
Day 1 of the Santa Cruz show was so sold out, we have another one tonight (when I'm typing this).
We went to the so called "best Thai spot in the world" as Diggy and the band call it. "Sala Thai" it was indeed excellent. This here is a vegan coconut milk soup... tasted good for the first few sips.. after? bleh couldn't finish it.
Reaching Santa Cruz, a weed bakery; Big Pete's- reached out to us and invited us to their bakery.
A funny story is, close to showtime we realise we couldn't get out of our tourbus- The lock went bad! so all of us had to jump out the back window of the bus... unto like a box with wheels. it was pretty crazy..
Despite that it was a quick and snappy 45 minute set!
We doing it again tonight same time, same place! Give thanks for those who came out. As per usual, check the shots below
Portland, Oregon - Star Theatre
Star Theatre in the city of Portland
Solo show out in the city of Portland, folks came out in full at the Star Theatre
Earlier That Day - back in Seattle, band recorded a live session for KEXP Radio
Lot of engaged fans out at Star Theatre
As per usual, Gallery below
Seattle, WA - Nectar Lounge
Visiting Solstice herb factory and filling Nectar Lounge to the brim
Seattle thank you so much! before the show we got to visit Solstice Herb Factory and got introduced to a lot of... greens!
Add that plus a packed show at Nectar Lounge, it was a pretty excellent day!
Spokane, WA - Knitting Factory
Washington state seeing us!
So yesterday I learned the difference between the state of Washington and Washington DC are just totally different things.
Show 4 was in the cold rainy city of Spokane in Washington, a pretty nice city despite the gloom. A lot of friendly people with character.
I got in a little time to get some shots of the city.
