Band on stage under coloured lighting

Concert photographer

Dark venues, lighting that changes every few seconds and no second takes. Concert photography is a specialty of its own, distinct from event photography.

At a live show, flash is usually prohibited and all the light comes from the stage: coloured, moving and often very dim. The work requires cameras that perform at high ISO, very fast lenses and, above all, the ability to anticipate a musician's movement. The network's concert photographers work in these conditions regularly.

The network covered Make Them Suffer at Théâtre Corona in Montreal, in colour and in black and white, as well as DJ nights, parties and bar events.
