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.

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.

More likely than not you will not be able to walk in and start taking photos unless you're with an approved vendor or publication, however if it's music you're looking to get photos of I got my own personal start shooting local music gigs happening in my area. Small town bands love photos of themselves, especially if it's cheap/free. Any content to post online is better than nothing, and you can definitely use that to your advantage to practice photography.
