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.

I used to shoot theater, the best time is to catch them during the dress rehearsal, where they’re in costume and got their acts down. But be sure to ask the director for permission! You can always start by approaching some of the actors or lighting person to create a connection. You’ll wanna ask the lighting person to bump up the lights a little bit. *To shoot during the paid performance is too disruptive. Once you get a permission get the shots and help them publish some of the good shots to promote the event. They’ll appreciate it. That was basically my job.
Once you have enough work to show, that becomes your talking point, because you can readily approach people and show them what you can do.
Good luck!
Amazing! That was my worry for the theatre plays! Even if I would go as a spectator my camera clicks would disrupt the audience as well! I will definitely get in touch with directors or actors that's some solid advice thank you very much.
