Capturing live music performances in photographs is tough.
There are numerous obstacles: rapid and unpredictable movement, awkward angles, constantly changing lighting conditions, very limited time, and many more.
But what truly makes concert photography so difficult is capturing the mood of the performance, as well as the powerful connection that forms somewhere between the artist and the crowd. It’s that magic that materializes halfway between the two.
During the first 15 minutes of the show, photographers are placed between the audience and the artist in the photographers’ pit. Despite this seemingly ideal position, capturing that magic remains extremely challenging.
Once you’ve overcome all the hurdles mentioned above, capturing the magic requires experience—and, even more importantly, an understanding of the subject at hand. An understanding of the art unfolding on stage and the connection it creates. Capturing that takes far more than technical skill alone.
We’ve been part of the music scene for over three decades, and over the course of more than 15 years we’ve photographed countless artists, ranging from local up-and-comers to global stars. Our sole purpose has always been to capture what makes each of them unique in a live setting.
