The ebook for concert photographers

Built for you
You got the pass. And now?
You spend the first song fiddling with settings, and then it's over.
The stage light is red, dark and moving, and your photos show it.
You shot one show. Nobody called you for a second one.
What's inside
Everything that happens after the pass.
Set up before the lights go down.
My prep and my settings for every kind of stage light, so you never waste song one.
Three songs. No flash. Make them count.
Where to stand, how to move, and what to do when the light is terrible.
Edit fast. Deliver the same night.
My editing and delivery workflow for galleries outlets actually want to publish.
Turn one show into the next one.
The exact emails and follow-ups that got me booked again, all the way up to bigger artists.
Launch bonus · my presets
Every photo here started as a raw file like yours.
Red light, dark stage, flat colours. This is the look I use on almost all my concert work, and during launch week all 16 of my Lightroom presets come free with the ebook.

Launch bonus · free until Mon 16 Nov
All 16 of my Lightroom presets.
The exact presets I use on my own concert work. On their own they cost $59. During launch week they come free with ALL ACCESS. Works in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom and Camera Raw.
For the light everyone hates.
Red, blue and green LED walls that wreck skin tones. One click and your colours are back.
My everyday pit look.
Muted, moody, true to the room. The base for almost every gallery I deliver.
For the shots that feel like a memory.
Faded blacks, warm tones and real grain, from soft Polaroid to matte film.
When the colour is too much.
Two B&W looks: one punchy with grain, one soft and clean.
For press and editorial.
Natural, neutral edits when the outlet wants it straight.
Who's in the pit
I quit teaching to shoot concerts.
A few years ago I stood in front of a classroom every morning. Safe job, steady income. I couldn't stop thinking about the photo pit, so I quit. I started with weddings and portraits to pay rent. Today I photograph some of the biggest artists in the world.
No big break, no contacts, no lucky intro. One small show, delivered fast and well, that led to the next one. Every step in ALL ACCESS is a step I took myself, including the mistakes, so you can skip them.
What you get.
Is this for you? Honest answer.
you want to shoot concerts, not just watch them
you've read the photo pass guide and you're asking "okay, what next?"
you'd rather learn from someone who's in the pit every week than from years of trial and error
you're looking for a beginner's camera manual
you want a guaranteed stadium pass next month (nobody can promise you that)
Your questions.
is it for beginners?
It's for people who know their camera basics and want to shoot live music.
i don't have a pro camera.
Neither did I. You need to know your camera in the dark, not own the newest one. I tell you what to upgrade first, when you're ready.
i don't live in a big city.
Perfect. Small venues are where you learn, and they're easier to get into.
how do i get the presets?
They come automatically with your download during launch week, until Monday 16 November at 23:59.
Nobody gave me a map. So I made one.
Everything from quitting my teaching job to standing in front of the biggest stages is in here. I wrote it so you don't have to spend years figuring it out alone like I did.
