Taken from Australian Daniel Boud’s personal website Boudist I thought this was a pretty great article for anyone interested in capturing live performances [or as noted, the info is applicable to any low light or stage photography situation].

For issue 46 of Digital Photographer magazine i wrote an article about concert photography.

Covering 5 pages and titled Stage Shooting Masterclass, it gave an overview of everything an aspiring live music photographer might want to know. I’ll be republishing the article in full here over two parts.

I’ll outline the preparation you’ll need to do before you get to the venue, the process for acquiring a photo pass, the gear you’ll need, the settings you might want to use, some thoughts on technique, etiquette and editing.
