Today's question from Mo R. is, "Regarding white balance since most of us shoot in RAW, should we really care about changing the white balance mode on the camera, or just correct it in postprocessing? Also, should we use a grey card, or is there no need since we can correct it in post? Thanks."

As Luke Combs' tour photographer since 2019, David Bergman has documented the historic rise of the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year both on stage and off. But that's only the latest in Bergman's own storied 30+ year career. He spent nearly a decade traveling the world with Bon Jovi and has toured with other artists including Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan, and Gloria Estefan. As a sports photographer, he covered numerous Olympics, Super Bowls, and World Series games, and has 13 Sports Illustrated covers to his credit. He's also photographed eight US Presidents, the Queen of England, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. However, his proudest accomplishment is his work as a photo educator, where he has given back to the industry that has treated him so kindly. Through his unique "Shoot From the Pit" live concert workshops, Bergman has taught hundreds of aspiring music photographers in a realworld setting. His work as a Canon Explorer of Light, Adorama YouTube host, and public speaker has also helped photographers around the world to advance their own photography skills.
