This annotated bibliography is intended for those interested in learning concert photography (also referred to as "music photography"). Information on how to take concert photographs is fairly limited and is not easily found by those seeking to learn the art. This annotated bibliography is meant to encompass useful learning resources by including both print and digital information on concert photography, such as such as books, websites, and a podcast. This information is also intended to be as up to date as possible notwithstanding the nature of changing technologies (e.g., digital cameras and photo-editing software are updated constantly). The focus therefore of this annotated bibliography is on the use of digital versus film cameras, although information on the latter may still apply. The provided information also encompasses overlapping photography topics, such as low-light and performance or action photography. The intended audience for this annotated bibliography ranges from novice photographers to more advanced photographers, but it excludes complete beginners. However, that does not mean that a beginner could not utilize the resources provided.
Keywords: concert photography, music photography, live music photography, low-light photography, performance photography.
