ESSENCE

Through a documentary-style lens, Eric Vo captured the soul of Essence Fest—its electricity, intimacy, and cultural magnitude. His photo and video work move like a film: layered, intentional, and alive with nuance. From quiet moments of reflection to the pulse of the crowd and the glow of the spotlight, every shot tells a story. The result is a visual chronicle that feels both grounded and cinematic—preserving not just what happened, but what it felt like to be there.
