The Uprite Dub Orchestra contacted me soon after we connected at a common gig. I was thrilled to be asked to document their experience at an event called The Revolution Party. The concert was put on by The Russian Foundation, and the color red was very abundant through the night.

I was really surprised at the turn-out for this show. To me it sounded more gimmickey than anything. I was so glad to be proven wrong, as the venue (Berbati in Portland, Oregon) filled with energetic and lively people, ready to let loose to some great music. Although I was there to shoot Uprite Dub and their experience there, I couldn’t help but try and capture the whole experience. There were clowns, russian flags, Lenin lookalikes, and people dancing everywhere!
