I got an email last week from Scott, ProProgram student. He’s interested in many areas of photography including concert photography. Part of his homework is to investigate other photo businesses and photographer’s work to expand his photo horizons.
He sent me a link to an interview with Tony Mott, concert photographer, who has been following bands, as a working photographer, for 25 years.
Shooting live music at large venues is a job many people dream about. Of course it’s not all stars and glamour! We have covered many concerts for media and promotional uses with some pretty fun opportunities…
