Best Practices of Concert Photography

Of all the types of photography, concert photography can be a tough challenge, because in this kind of photography we have no control over most of the aspects of the picture. We do not have control over the lighting, we do not have control over the angles, and we can’t control the object being photographed. I think without the right gear and substantial experience it can be very frustrating to photograph a concert.

Below we feature 33 striking examples of concert photography. Enjoy!
