What is Concert Photography?
Concert photography is the photography of activities relating to concerts and music.
It encompasses photographs of a band or musician as well as coverage of a concert. It is a minor commercial endeavor that supports in part of the efforts for many independent photographers.
Concert photography began becoming popular with the advent of Rock & Roll, particularly during the height of popularity
by such bands as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. During the 1950s and 1960s, the desire for memorabilia was increased
with every new musician or music group. During that time, some of the more respected music photographers included
Gered Mankowitz (Rolling Stones), Robert Altman (Rolling Stone Magazine), and Ethan Russell (Jim Morrison) amongst
others.
