Concert photography doesn’t begin with pressing the shutter. It begins with learning how to see.

Im Licht der Bühne is a practical guide to concert photography that goes beyond camera settings. It explores how to read a stage, anticipate movement, work with difficult light and recognize the moments in which light, movement and expression come together.

Based on more than a decade of photographing concerts and festivals, the book covers the complete photographic process — from preparation and equipment to composition, working in the photo pit, selecting images and developing your own visual style.
