How I Shoot: Danny Clinch’s Concert Photography

Want to view more photos from Bonnaroo? Visit the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival location page and the #trueroo hashtag.

Danny Clinch (@dannybones64) has photographed musicians and documented their performances since the mid-1980s when he was an intern for Annie Leibovitz. Along the way, Danny has captured Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Tupac Shakur and Björk in his signature unobtrusive style. He posts some of those intimate, modest moments on Instagram and even shared a few of his concert photography tips with us:

Try to find a point of view that is different from the people around you.

The most interesting photograph is not always of the lead singer at the microphone.

Watch what happens between songs.

Try different angles. The view from the furthest seat in the house can be as rewarding as the front row.

Develop relationships with people in the music industry—both venue employees and band members—for behind-the-scenes photo opportunities.

Starting tomorrow, Danny will be photographing the four-day Bonnaroo festival (@bonnaroo) in Manchester, Tennessee. Follow him and performers like The XX (@the_xx_), Reggie Watts (@reggiewatts), Porter Robinson (@porterrobinson), Alana Haim (@babyhaim) and The National (@ntnl) for a behind-the-scenes look at the music and comedy festival.

Very good tips, and not just technical in nature.

Austen Diamond: Goodbye, City Weekly. Hello, Backcountry.com.:

Good luck to Austen. I remember selecting him as an intern at City Weekly (credit to then music editor Jamie Gadette, who really backed him) despite zero experience. We even had to reschedule his interview because he was in the mountains and when he arrived, he looked … not quite … but almost … homeless. But he had passion and it sold us on his potential. He immediately became part of the CW family, trying his hand at everything he could (including front desk receptionist). He really found his niche when he became Dan Nailen’s right-hand music man.

It’s sad to see him go. But I completely sympathize with his reasoning. It’s sad that journalism, be it daily or alt-weekly, has become an unsustainable career choice.

Good luck, Mr. Austen.

In a strange twist of fate, while writing my last ever Music Live concert preview blurb for City Weekly, I came across a concert review I wrote when I began music writing more than three years ago. It was an incredible review, I thought, but it left me wondering, in a bittersweet fashion,…
