Concert photography

is one of the most challenging fields in photography. The reality is a photographer cannot direct the artist, has no control over the lighting which is constantly changing, and cannot access any other angle since photography is heavily restricted usually to the first 3x songs only. The location of shoot is either inside the Pit or in front of House (FOH) which is set by artist management. If the stage is high built being positioned in the Pit is a tough call because it is difficult to capture the lead artist with the band, only steep angles are possible.

Front of House is commonly the best position to capture the stage with crowd in the foreground for 70-200mm medium long shots or lead singer with band in background. However FOH is quite far, ca. 30-50m and this spot requires super expensive Professional Tele Lenses to get usable close-up artist photos out of couple minutes performance.

In case of a Lighting Setup which includes the use of large scale LED mesh screens as well lots of strobes or the very strong spots on the lead artist – this when the cameras exposure automation renders almost completely useless and improvisation with experienced skills kick into an autopilot mode constantly adjusting, reviewing various shooting scenarios.

For larger concerts it is crucial to have a 2^nd shooter onsite who can capture all checklist items and focuses on complimentary angles whereas the Lead Photographer identifies all the hero spots, finds out about Special FX and scouts the full venue for best crowd views.
