Enchant

San Francisco based Enchant delivers their Neo progressive stylings with warm reception from the Progpower USA X Showcase crowd.

In shooting, lighting remained generally stabilized with 2 stop variants throughout the set around a desired shutter of 1/200. My standard festival gear of dual Nikon D700′s coupled with the holy trinity of the Nikon 14-24, 24-70, and 70-200 2.8′s continued to serve as the dream setup for festival shooting covering the wide, mid, and long range shooting needs without hesitation or anxiety.
