concert photography

Live music documentation

Concert photography is the practice of photographing live musical performances, typically from the pit between stage and audience or from designated positions in the venue.

The genre demands technical skill with low light, fast movement, and unpredictable conditions.

Concert photographers often work under strict rules—many venues limit shooting to the first three songs.
