Live performance photography

365 Photography

I enjoy the challenges of event photography and as I started putting these posts together I suddenly started feeling like I had missed out on a number of gigs.

Naturally I do not take a camera to every gig and want to enjoy the show as much as everyone else.

The 100 club is one of those venues that you have no idea what they are going to do with the lighting so some photographers use flash. Personally I try not to. I don’t want to blind the acts or distract them and I definitely don’t want to piss off the people behind me by blocking their view anymore than I need to. I also try to stick to the first few songs.

Three weeks and three gigs and I also got a portrait shoot along with an interview. .. That is why I got into photography so it was a good few weeks for me.

Thanks for stopping and looking.

If you want to share any links to music photography or your 365 project please feel free to add them to the comments and I will find some time to visit your site.

Kind regards, Jim Jimmy James.
