Of all the types of photography ever invented, I would claim that live concert photography is up there among the most difficult ones. You have five thousand fans behind you. A band in front of you. Nobody stands still. In fact, even the notion of standing still ruins the idea of a good music photo. The bouncers hate you, because you are in their way. The crowd is jealous of you. Crowd surfers will kick you in the head. The band thinks you're annoying. The lighting is never bright enough, and changes so frequently that you're screwed even in the few moments that it is.
Nonetheless, concert photography is one of my all-time favourite pastimes. It's hard. It's unrewarding. But it's deeply gratifying on a personal level. It's about capturing the mood. Capturing the looks. Capturing something the audience is feeling.
So, how can you take photos at a concert successfully?
