Concerts & Performances

Live concerts, band sets, recitals, and stage performances across the DMV.

Concert and performance photography is its own discipline — fast-changing light, unpredictable movement, and a single chance to catch the moment the crowd loses it. I shoot the headliner and the openers, the soundcheck and the load-out, the front-row faces and the bassist's grin three songs in.

Whether you're a touring artist passing through DC, a local band playing your album release, a venue building a year-end recap, or an organizer documenting a recital, showcase, or stage performance — I'll work with your stage manager and lighting crew so I'm never in the way of the show. Same-day social selects are available so your team can post while people are still talking about the set.

Pick the package below that fits the run of the show — single set, full bill, or multi-night residency.

Coverage for the brand or venue side of the night (sponsor activations, lobby photo wall, VIP meet-and-greet posed shots) lives on the Brand & Commercial Content page. If your event is more reception or gala than concert, Corporate & Community Events is the right fit.

Frequently asked

How much does concert photography cost in the DC area?

Concert coverage starts at $425 for a 2-hour recital or showcase and goes up to $950 for a full-bill show covering all acts over 6 hours. Multi-night residencies and festival runs are custom quoted.

Do you respect the 3-song rule at concerts?

Always. I work within whatever access the venue or artist grants — whether that's the standard 3-song rule from the pit or full-set access. I'll coordinate with your tour manager or venue contact ahead of time.

Can you deliver photos the same night for social media?

Yes — same-day social selects are available with most packages, so your team can post while people are still talking about the show. Full galleries are delivered within a week.

Do you photograph school recitals and dance showcases too?

I do. The Recital / Showcase package ($425 for 2 hours) covers the full performance plus posed group and cast shots afterward. It works great for dance recitals, school concerts, and theater showcases.
