Welcome to Behind the Lens: Stories from the Pit! Concert photography is more than just pointing a camera at the stage. It’s a battle against low light (and sometimes low purple light!), fast movement, and the unpredictable energy of the crowd. But it’s also a front-row seat to the raw emotion and chaos that makes live music unforgettable.

Ever wondered how to get started in concert photography? Or maybe you already are one, but you’re desperate to break into touring? Well, who better to chat with than an experienced touring photographer like Dieter Unrath? In this interview, we break down what it takes to get your foot in the door, what gear he’s rocking in the pit, and, perhaps most importantly, what you need to be doing now if touring is your goal!
