Hi,
Very nice sets.
I am Trying to accelerate my concert shooting proficiency.
Would you mind please sharing some insight to the gig?
Did they limit how many songs you could photograph? The recent venue I was at shooting said absolutely Only the first three songs.
Who typically hires you for your concerts? Are you shooting as Press?
Or PR / promotional shots etc?
In this venue do you have pit access across the stage or limited to corners and aisles?
Thanks in advance.
Guy
hi guy, thanks for taking the time to respond.
this concert was first 3 only... almost all shows are that way, unless it is a small venue with unknown (probably unsigned) bands that dont care (or have managers/publicists that would put a limit on photography).
this particular venue has a very narrow pit across the whole stage, but if it's a rough show, photographers arent permitted in the middle because it gets too dangerous with security trying to protect the band.
ive never been hired by anyone, although that would be a dream of mine... i shoot at this venue every few months as the unofficial house photographer (they give me admission and a press pass, and i give them some photos for their website). i really just do it to build up my portfolio and with hopes that someone will like my photos and eventually hire me to shoot a show.
let me know if you have any more questions, that maybe i can help out with.
thanks,
ana
