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.

How to get into events or clubs photography (alien.top)

I'm trying to get into more event en club photography. I already have a good portfolio with event and nightlight photos. When I approach a festival or club owner with the suggestion if I can a come for a demo (for free), they always tell me that they aready have one or more photographer they know and like.

Any ways around this?

these types of gigs are all relational and tend to hire from their immediate social/creative scenes.

Get into a scene, build relationships, invest time.

Get to know the snappers and stand in for them when they want a night off
