Really great advice here. I've been shooting shows for years now, and just started making money taking concert photos. It's not nearly enough to quit my day job yet, but still, I'm stoked to be getting paid to shoot local shows and love that I'm having more opportunities arise every week.

Definitely some awesome tips! Especially with the earplugs, so many people make that mistake

[shotbyproedits]

awesome video bro! this is so much more informational than the bigger channels. God bless

[MilesBeyondThePast]

Ooooh I see Alpha 9! Love the advice!

[drakeboling]

Well said, and a lot of great points in this video. 👍

Hey Tariq, just wanted to say thanks for this info. As someone whos shot Deadmau5, Nero, and more, I've reached the point of cold emailing, but had no idea about COI's when working for larger scale festivals. TY for the heads up! - Meech

This was incredible man!!! Thank you for this.

This is a great video! This also applies to Comic conventions and music festivals.

What is the MonoPod and Remote Shutter you have in this video? Can you share the Amazon link?

[paulbechea]

Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us!
The next question would be how do you proceed if the guy you talked for free access to the event wants you to participate as a photographer at the next festival, do you go again for free? Ask for the correct amount of money for the festival? Can he complain that he helped you in the beginning?

[miss_verstaendnis]

Love this vid! It really helped me last minute 😎😍

[lauradenicee]

Truly one of the more helpful videos on beginner concert photography!! Thank you!!

[marcain]

When you start, can the a6700 be good enough for local shows?

[canonlandwhale]

Currently starting my concert photography journey. So this video is helping a ton. Also your photos are insane. I would love to work with you one day and am extremely determined to get to that point.

Hi, I told an artist I would shoot the concert for free, even though she had already invited me to shoot at her concert and seem surprised I said I wouldn't charge. I feel like an idiot. I don't want to get stuck shooting for free all the time so how should I go about telling her the next one won't be free (if there is a next one)

[musman]

Great advice! Is 1080p enough for video? I was looking at a used Canon 6D. Also, would a 2013 retina macbook pro be enough for editing?

[jorgeaguilar]

how do you ask venues for artist managers' contact information?

[thisjourneycalledlife]

What if you don’t have a Sony? I have a Nikon D7500 that cost me a lot as it is I can’t afford another one currently
