In my opinion, shooting live music is one of the most challenging photographic experiences possible. For starters, there is very low light, and it’s constantly changing. I’ve shot in venues that are lit by a single bare lightbulb hanging from the ceiling, and venues that have light shows that move beams of colored light in all directions.

Your subjects are constantly and unpredictably moving around. You’re surrounded by people that, depending on what genre of music you’re shooting, are dancing, jumping, pushing you and spilling drinks left and right. Depending on your access, you may have a limit amount of time to get the perfect shot.  Most larger venues only give photographers the three first songs to shoot. . thephoblographer.com
