Two weeks ago Shanghai celebrated the MIDI Festival, of course, with a lot of music, and I went there as photographer, because my friend Indi asked me to do that favor for her. I was going to take pictures for the brand
D'or et D'argent,
and some of those pictures are in the website. I only went to the festival oone day, Friday, so I will tell you my experience at this Shanghai MIDI Festival 2014.

This Festival was a little bit TOO FAR, maybe I should say it was in Korea and not in Shanghai. If you wanted to go there, your stop was YuanDong Avenue, two stops before arriving to Pudong Airport, more or less half and hour from Shanghai. Once I got there I just followed the herd of kids, because I had read in some website that there was a free bus to the festival, and for sure all of these guys were going to the festival, so I just followed them. I have to say that the bus was too packed, and didn't leave the station until 20 minutes later, but this is China, and this is the Chinese way.

When the bus arrived there, the checkpoint was a little further from the bus station, so I walked there and waited for Aymeric, the French who was going to give me the ticket to go inside and explain what I had to do, because he was the designer for these clothes and my "boss" that day. He made me a little tour of the Festival and told me how he wanted the photos, something hard due to it was a music festival, but I did my best. The weather was not the best, windy and sometimes rainy, but people there didn't care about that. Not a lot of people were at the festival at the very beginning, but during the day more and more people came to the party. But I was there to take pictures and not for the music, so here are some of the pictures I took that day:
Finally I have to say that it was a good surprise that two of the DJs at the festival were spanish: Rodri or DJ One and Iván Oliva, who were really amazing, with their sessions and also became good friends. I ended up taking pictures for Iván, and maybe you can see that pictures on his
Facebook, and of course we had lots of fun.

My friends went to the festival on Saturday, when it was raining the whole day and there were only puddles and mud. That Saturday was a busy one for me, with classes and editing photos, but sometimes I have to stop and rest, or I'll go crazy! Coming soon I will start again with cultural post and my life in Shanghai not only parties!
See you soon!
