Hey everyone
I’m shooting a pretty big gig coming up this week. I have done a bit of concert photography for some smaller bands but will be shooting a massive venue with Bloc Party & Interpol headlining.
Just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips I should keep in mind while shooting.
This will also be the first gig where the ‘3 song’ rule will be applied so I’m stressed about getting all that I need within that timeframe.
Any particular shots I should try and get? Also, is it worth trying to see if I can get on stage to shoot from behind?
This is the rules that were sent to me:
“Please note that the photo restrictions are the first three from the pit only and nothing from front of house/crowd after the first three.”
Does this mean it will only be first three and then everything else is just from the crowd?
Perhaps too elementary but I’d autobracket each time so you don’t have to deal with tricky exposure situation. All other posts go into greater detail so I won’t comment on those fine suggestions
