    Default Anyone fascinated by or shoot concert photography?

    I know this is an outdoors website.. but I was just curious if anyone has ever photographed a musical concert?

    One can capture some pretty powerful photographs. Especially if the venue has all of the colored lights and fog machines etc..

    Anyone else ever take a stab at photographing a live performance?

    Here is one of my favorites...

    I did some side work for years for a concert production company and got to shoot a lot of the top bands, and a LOT of the not so top bands any longer. It was always cool. Shot groups as diverse as Garth Brooks to Slip Knot. Got to do a lot of back stage and after party pics as well. Most of those couldn't be shown here! LOL It was all film at the time, so if I come up with the negs, I'll try to get some posted.

    Hey Bill, I'd be extremely interested in seeing some of your shots (only the PG rated! ).. I understand you'd have to put the effort into scanning them though..

    I see you are from Ill... ever shoot anything at Schuba's??

    The above pic is Matt Scannel, from Vertical Horizon. One of my favorite bands.. especially their acoustic stuff.. They have seemed to evaporate in the last year or so though... They signed with RCA and had an unpleasant experience I think.. They appeal to the college towns/crowds usually.. Their sound signature resembles DMB, Jars of Clay, and a few others that are probably unknown to the masses here(Jackopierce)

    I used to go to a lot of Contemporary Christian concerts (Petra, Margaret Becker, Rich Mullins, DC Talk, etc) and shot a decent amount of pics, it was fun.

    You guys brought up Jars of Clay I heard them for the first time at the Agape Music Festival in Greenville IL. The festival had a amateur contest and they won by a landslide, they got thier first album contract for winning. Also they have played several times at the church my inlaws go to.

    Vertical Horizon is a secular band. They made mainstream radio for a brief period of time (via RCA label)

    Anyone ever hear of Caedmon's Call? They are a CC group.. liked their 1st CD best.

    My son buys all the "Avenue" albums. We've even been to a couple of their concerts. I believe they are Cont. Christ.
