Zoom in

Kevin suggests using a zoom lens when shooting live music. “If you have to lean into the stage, you’re going to end up in everyone else’s shot if they’re using a wide-angle lens. So if you do need to do this while shooting wide then lean in, get your shot and then get back. But a zoom lens will generally take you closer in without you having to move forward. Plus, with a zoom lens you won’t have to edge back and forth.”
