Capturing the Rhythm: Getting into Music Photography with Katy Kelly | Get the Picture Episode 3

In the third episode of the Get the Picture podcast, host Brad Sigal talks with music photographer Katy Kelly. Katy shares her music photography journey as well as sharing many useful tips for aspiring concert and music photographers.

Katy not only captures live performances, but also promotional band images, album art, and has also been a tour photographer.

By embracing her love for music, focusing on her own community and scene, and applying her unique style and vision to her photos, Katy is already making a mark in music photography. I think aspiring music photographers will find inspiration in Katy’s story and practical tips for starting their own journey.
