What do you do when the light refuses to cooperate? In this episode of the Camera Shake Podcast, Kersten is joined by concert photographer Steve Brazil to explore how photographers can create powerful, emotional images in the most challenging low-light conditions.Drawing on years of experience shooting live music, Steve shares how working in unpredictable and often terrible lighting environments sharpens creative instincts, forces faster decision-making, and shifts the focus from technical perfection to emotional impact. The conversation covers low light photography, anticipation, motion blur, embracing imperfection, and why bad lighting can actually make you a stronger photographer.Although rooted in concert photography, the lessons apply equally to wedding photography, street photography, documentary work, and any situation where lighting conditions are far from ideal.If you’re interested in photography, videography, or building a sustainable photography business, this episode offers real-world insight you won’t get from spec sheets or gear reviews.👉 If you enjoy conversations like this, consider subscribing to the channel and checking out other episodes of the Camera Shake Podcast for more photography insights and industry conversations.GET YOUR CAMERA SHAKE MERCH HERE: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merchTHIS WEEK’S LINKS:JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com Steve Brazill on the web:https://behindtheshot.tvhttps://stevebrazill.comCheck out Steve’s workshops here:https://princetonphotoworkshop.comSteve Brazill on Social Media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BehindTheShotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevebrazill/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/behindtheshottv/?hl=en======================================Camera Shake Photography Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 295 ‘When the Light Works AGAIST YOU as a Photographer with Steve Brazill’ IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/IlRDucURNHMApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@camerashakepodcastKersten’s website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/ Hosted on Acast.
