Concert Photography 101 : Review
Feb 23, 2010 Site News
Here is a recap of my Concert Photography 101 series and links to older posts. Music and photography are my two biggest passions – no wonder I am so passionate about music photography.
Getting Started taking Concert Photos: The equipment needed to produce quality live music photos (click for post)
Basic Camera Settings for Concert Photos: I discuss my baseline camera settings for concerts. Also, discussed is ISO and various lenses. (click for post)
Photo Credentials: This was no doubt the most anticipated part of the Concert Photography Series. What is needed before you request photo credentials. (click for post)
What am I missing? Please let me know what else you want to know about taking Concert Photos. I am willing to post and share whatever knowledge I have – so please post a comment with questions or suggestions.

Tips on how to dodge moshing punk rocker audiences would be nice (I had one dive straight on top of me last night!)
Seriously though, any editing tricks to deal with red spotlights would be good. These are the bain of my life at the moment.
In fact, any post processing tips would be a good addition for us togs that are still grovelling around in poorly lit dives.
You’ve covered the ‘before’ and ‘during’…how about some ‘after’?

There is an art to dodging punks – I have to deal with them too and it’s always an adventure.
Great suggestion, I will write a post some time next week dealing with post production of low light concert photography. In the meantime the best suggestion I can offer is to position yourself if possible so the performer is blocking most of the light. This way, hopefully a red spotlight is shining isn’t shining directly in the lens.
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion plus the submission for The Music Matters Project.
