We did it up in a style Joe McNally would have been proud of – or at the very least, we used more than two remote speedlights for this. All in all, a total of 5 speedlights – my entire arsenal – went into these shots.
Stay tuned for the full set of images and the precise shooting notes, as well as a few behind-the-scenes snaps. Oh, and did I mention that I'll be diagramming the lighting setups for these shots, too?
Simply clicking through either B&H or Amazon.com here for your purchases helps me bring you free content like these 6-tips for the new concert photographer, and naturally it doesn't cost you a cent more. If you do grab some gear, drop me a line! I’d love to hear about what you picked up.
