My dad is a cinematographer who trained in Russia, and my grandfather had the only photo studio in his town in Vietnam. So yes, photography is in my blood, but it<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s music that really drew me in.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I still remember my first classical music photography gig back in 2015. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/music\/ensembles\/opera\">Opera McGill<\/a> hired me after they saw some photos I took of a Broadway choir I used to sing with, and that opened the door to a whole new world. Later that year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/music\/\">Schulich School of Music<\/a> asked me to update their entire photo catalogue\u2014everything from orchestra shots to concert photos, even brochure covers.

How do you prepare for an orchestra concert shoot?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Tam: One of the biggest challenges in orchestra photography is finding the best angles without disrupting the performance. That<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s why I always get to the hall early to figure out the space. I check which doors I can use without making noise, where I can move without being noticed by the audience, and which angles might work best without drawing attention.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I also make sure to go over any specific requirements with the orchestra\u2014like if there are particular moments they want captured or areas I should avoid. Then, I clean my gear, review the evening\u2019s program to time my angles with the musical movements, and get everything ready. That way, when the music starts, I\u2019m in the right places to get the shots I need without being in the way.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">3. What is your go-to photography equipment when you are hired for an orchestra concert?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Tam: Shooting orchestras is all about context. Concert halls are dark, the lighting doesn<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">t change, and you can<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">t move around much because the audience shouldn<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">t even know you<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">re there.

So, staying unobtrusive is key.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">That<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s why I use two mirrorless camera bodies with a &#8216;silent photography&#8217; mode\u2014no clicks, just quiet captures. My Nikon lenses silently autofocus using advanced technology, ensuring I don<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">t disrupt the performance.

I need the usual details: where, what, who, and when. But it also helps to know about any specific shots the orchestra is looking for. For example, if an orchestra has a new conductor, I can focus more on capturing their presence. If photos are needed within 24 hours for social media or press releases, that<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s something I can accommodate as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The more information provide<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> upfront, the better I can tailor the shoot to meet my clients\u2019 needs. It<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s also helpful to discuss any special requests or potential challenges ahead of time. Maybe certain sections need more attention than others. Perhaps the conductor prefers a certain side. Open communication not only ensures we<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">re on the same page but also helps maximize the impact of the photos we create together.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Of course, in case of uncertainty, it\u2019s also sufficient just to let me know the date, time, and place, and I will take care of the rest.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">7.

Capturing those moments when musicians are warming up, chatting, or just relaxing adds a personal touch that really resonates with audience<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">. These shots are perfect for website<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">, social media, and presentations, giving people a peek into the life of the orchestra. Sure, it might add an extra hour to the shoot, but if we do it on concert day, it<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">s more efficient and can save on costs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As a plus, this provides your musicians with content that they can proudly share on their social media, increasing the reach of your orchestra organically.
