A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Finding events for practice (alien.top)

Hello everyone I hope you are all well. I am constantly looking for local events (fashion shows,theatre plays, concerts) and I was wondering if I could just show up and take photographs? Will they allow me to? Even as a spectator or anything? I mainly lack friends and I want to practice as much as I can. Should I email before I go? If anyone has ever done this or has some info I would love to know. Thank you very much in advance.

You cannot just show up to a private event (even some public events) and start to take photos of strangers. Just go on their website/Facebook/ Instagram and just ask. If you ask nicely people will let you shoot their events. And if they let you come shoot don’t be an asshole about copyright either, just let them use it for free. You can worry about the copyright when you start to shoot professionally.

Yeah I thought so. And yes I just want exposure and practice so they can do anything with the photos! Thank you for your reply!
