42 LIVE: "Rocking Behind The Lens: Music Photography Tips" ft. Anabel DFlux & SIGMA

Thanks for the conversation, it is great to hear someone else's thoughts on the whole music photography scene.

Not enough people understand that the photographers job is to get shots but not at the expense of crowd enjoyment or artist comfort on stage.

I've never shot from the pit, but I have shot many concerts from the other side of the barricade. I've always chose to place my self somewhere between the centre stage and either side of the stage. Typically, if you shoot from the centre, the artist's microphone is going to be right in front of his/her face. Shooting from off center helps to advoid that.
