Photography: Live Music & Events
Digital photography of live music performances. A wide variety of artists and bands are covered at a wide variety of venues, from small clubs to full size stadiums. I use a Nikon D90 camera, 35mm f1.8 and 17-55mm f2.8 lenses, and occasionally borrow longer lenses, when needed, from helpful friends. I try my best to capture strong original images, but if needed, I work in Photoshop to bring out the best in my photos. On ongoing project, shooting live music performances is an absolute blast. There's nothing quite like going to see music performed live and having a media pass to shoot photos in impossibly difficult conditions - namely, high action in low light.
This is just a smattering of my favourite shots, which I'll add to as I continue to shoot. If you'd like to see a full posting of my live music photography, please see my Flickr portfolio at flickr.com/photos/formatnoauto/sets/
I've shot extensively for The Snipe News and Scene In The Dark, where I have my own galleries (thesnipenews.com/author/ashley-tanasiychuk and sceneinthedark.com/author/format-no-auto). I've also shot for Backstage Rider, Beatroute, Georgia Straight, and others online and print publications.
