Three Songs, No Flash!
Photographing pop artists is a goal of many photographers, both amateur and professional. Images of live performances can be colorful, full of expression and action. To capture a magical moment is an enormous challenge for every photographer, especially when there is a world-famous superstar on stage. Concert photography is a specialty, and in order to get the best result, knowledge of the subject is even more important than shooting technique.
In this book I'll provide you with inside information on technique, etiquette, and other tricks of the trade—from how to become a concert photographer to getting access to concerts to determining the right lighting, position, and angle. I'll cover general rules of behavior in the photo pit, what you should and shouldn't do with the photos you shoot, and, last but not least, selling your photos. Without a decent knowledge of photography, you really have no business in the photo pit—so I won't be covering the basics of technique here.
If you intend to take live photos of well-known performing artists, "three songs, no flash" are the keywords you should always bear in mind.
