Concert and Theater Photographer with an eye for what matters

Concert photography means working with what’s there: red stage light, fog, three songs in the pit, sometimes just a single lamp above the modular synthesizer. For more than three years I’ve been photographing for the DAVE Festival in Dresden, for clubs, stages and bands – electronic, rock, jazz, theater, dance.

Organizers get more than stage shots from me: audience, entrance, backstage, details, atmosphere – the photos used to promote the festival next year. Bands get live photos that hold up on posters and in press kits.

I accompany theaters, dance ensembles and cultural venues at rehearsals and performances: scene photos for programs, press and website – quietly, without flash, in the rhythm of the production.

Process

How it works.

  1. Accreditation

    You arrange the photo pass, I bring everything else – fast prime lenses, two bodies, no flash.

  2. Live

    Pit, audience, backstage, details. At multi-day festivals with daily delivery.

  3. Overnight delivery

    A selection for social media the same night, the complete gallery in 2 to 3 working days.

Questions about Concert & Theater Photography

Do we get the photos the same night?

Yes – I deliver a selection of 10 to 20 photos the same night via cloud link. That way you can post in the morning while the event is still the talk of the town.

Do you use flash?

No. I work with the available stage light and fast lenses. That respects artists and audience – and looks better.

May the bands use the photos?

If you book as the organizer, I’ll clarify that with you: it usually makes sense to release the photos to the acts for their own channels – that brings reach for everyone.

How much does a concert or theater photographer cost in Dresden and Saxony?

A concert or theater evening is charged by the hour: €160 net per hour including selection, editing and delivery, plus travel costs. For festivals, theaters, cultural venues and organizers with several dates, prices are negotiable – we’ll find a solution that fits the budget, for example a half-day rate, a day rate or a package for the season. All prices net, plus 19% VAT.
