Hi Claire,

Got a couple of links that looked interesting nd contained a lot of information on concert photographers including some bios.

Hello Claire,

Annie Leibovitz covered the Rolling stones tour of America in 1975, and its some of those old stones pictures that really inspire me.

Modern day, well that's me isn't it

While I look at a lot of work by other photographers, I really don't know any modern day 'famous' ones, bit embarrassing really :nuts:

I have looked at a lot of people currently purporting to be 'live band photographers' and have found their work to be almost laughable.

There are a lot of good photographers out there doing band shots, and I am sure some of them are famous, just let me know who they are

I'd recommend talking to Les McLean (not the person by that name on TP, rather the one at http://www.lesmcleanphotography.com.) I've met him several times and shared a gallery show with him and several other amazing photogs in Toronto. He's been shooting rock bands for years, and his work is stunning. He also happens to be an amazing teacher and a friendly, helpful guy.
