Hey there,
Shooting a show is chaos - bad light, no time to think, and one shot at getting it right. This checklist is what I run through before every gig, so I'm not guessing when the lights go down.
It's everything I pack, the camera settings I start with, and the mindset that gets me from "pictures of a concert" to pictures that actually capture what it felt like to be there. Gear checklist, starting exposure settings, and the on-the-night thinking - all in one place, ready to print and keep in your bag.
From the first three songs to the last encore, this is the system I use to stop reacting to the show and start anticipating it.
Grab it, print it, and take it with you to your next gig.
