‼️The BEST places to photograph from at a concert‼️

1️⃣Behind the crowd
There’s nothing better than a photo or video that really shows the scope of a performance. Getting to the back of a concert hall or festival ground can give you an immense sense of scale, really capturing the essence of an artist’s set and the crowd that accompanies it.

2️⃣In The Photo Pit
The ideal circumstance, but one that many don’t take full advantage of. Don’t stick your lens up an artist’s nostrils. Get some angles! A side angle of an artist reaching over to the crowd, a wide shot that covers the whole band/stage, a close up of a performer (without a microphone in their face). There’s a lot of ground to cover in such a small amount of space.

3️⃣Sidestage or backstage 
If you can manage it, these vantage points can give you some really intimate, exclusive angles. Perfomers that have choreographed dances or more interactive sets are ones that are almost made to be captured this way, giving more of a POV from the artist’s perspective as opposed to the audience. You can get really creative when you have the access, and can even manage to get a wide shot that captures a similar — almost opposite — effect that the “behind the crowd” photos and videos aim to capture.

4️⃣In the Crowd
The beginner’s crutch can lead to some of the best moments, if you can capture them. Filming or photographing from the crowd is NOT easy — and can even be to the detriment of your gear. But, if done with purpose and caution, you can create visual frames that embody the concert experience more than anything else. It’s probably the most overlooked vantage point, especially for those with photo passes. Free sauce 🫡
