Band on stage under coloured lighting

Concert photographer

Dark rooms, lights that change every two seconds and no second takes. A concert photographer isn't an event photographer with a flash.

At a show, flash is usually banned and all the light comes from the stage: coloured, moving and often very dim. The job needs bodies that hold up at high ISO, very fast lenses and, above all, the habit of anticipating a musician's move before it happens. The network's concert photographers work in these conditions regularly.

The network covered Make Them Suffer at Théâtre Corona in Montreal, in colour and in black and white, along with DJ nights, parties and bar events.
