Concerts are my favorite thing to shoot. I like to shoot them with cinema cameras and anamorphic lenses as I think it makes the performances seem larger than life.

I prefer shooting entire performances with one camera and a directional mic. I like a 150mm lens, up close, high shutter speed, and just the right amount of handheld shake to capture the raw energy and “had to be there” feeling of a live, high energy performance. I’ll use a monopod/wider lenses for a more standard look as well.
