Festival Portraits

I decided to go to a psychedelia festival in Manchester last weekend and took my camera along so I could take some photographs of people in the crowd with the intention to somehow combine with another image.
I didn't want to force people to pose in a certain way so I gave them no direction whatsoever. I asked their permission to take a photograph for my project and briefly explained that it involved me taking photographs of the psychedelic community. I am pleased with the portraits and I think that they work well, although I am not too keen on the backgrounds in some of them. I was made aware that I may need to crop a bit more out from the top as there is quite a bit of room.
My friend also featured me on his radio show so hopefully I can gain a little more publicity from that and can gather more subjects to photograph for my project.
