Wide selfies at concerts and events

Short answerHold the phone at chest or face height rather than above your head, tap your face so it isn’t dark against bright stage lights, keep clips short, and check the venue’s rules on filming.

Be considerate

Phones held high block the view for people behind you. Keep it low and quick.

Light

Stage lights are bright; faces in the crowd are dark. Tap your face and drag exposure up, or wait for lights to swing towards you.

Sound

Live music is loud and can distort phone audio. Short clips usually sound better than long ones.

Rules

Some venues and artists don’t allow filming. Follow the venue’s policy.

Questions

Can I post concert clips?

Venue rules and music rights apply. Short personal clips are common, but platforms may mute music.

A camera built for this
