For work experience I attended the show at the 1865 where students from Fareham College would be performing. This was my first time doing a shoot at a gig, but I am quite pleased with how the photos came out.
It took me a while getting used to the settings before slowly getting more accustomed to it, the first few shots I had taken were either too dark or blurry so I practiced a bit before finally getting some shots that did the incredible performances justice.
The one thing I had found difficult was the lighting and the smoke machine made it a bit of a challenge but as I previously stated, once I got the hang of the right angle, location, etc, it became significantly easier.
Another issue I had encountered was the movement on stage – some acts were quite calm, they didn’t move too drastically. However there were a few bands that moved around a lot more than the other, so it was hard trying to get a shot where all fo the members were in focus.
