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.

Concert Photographers: Has "crashing" a show worked out for you? (alien.top)

Got the artist's approval to shoot them at their next show but was never able to get in contact with their management. With less than a week and still no contact, my photo classmates and professor suggested showing up and just trying to make my way in. Getting the artists OK is cool and all but I feel like management has all the control and final say. Has anyone just showed up and smooth-talked their way into shooting a show?

Just keep replying day of, I’ve definitely shown up to shows where I wasn’t on the list (thought I was approved) and still got in. They either got the manager to come up or just said fuck it. But ya keep hitting them up and the worst thing that happens is they’ll say no when you show up. But I wouldn’t show anyone an Instagram screenshot as proof, that seems unprofessional & easy to fake.
