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?

Update: Bugged the artist one last time on IG and he said he’d take my name down for a photo pass . Got to the venue, said they don’t have a list, I ask that they go ask the band and finally they let me in. Had an awesome night takin pics and got to meet the artist myself and finally connect. He was so sweet and understanding and I’m so happy it worked out in the end
