Photographer and MOS contributor Jahan Swanson took a plane from Cincinnati, Ohio to Los Angeles, California last month to attend and document the fifth annual Beach Goth Festival, hosted by The Growlers. The festival was held at The Observatory Grounds in Santa Ana and although there was inclement weather and a few setbacks for the festival this year, Jahan still pulled off some amazing photos that really capture the spirit of the fans and bands at the festival. You can check out his Beach Goth photos below, and can find more of his work on Instagram, under the name @shutterkult.
