It’s not hard just shoot like any other event you shoot.

Have you noticed that you look relaxed and natural in the mirror but rigid in your photos? If the other photos looks natural and yours is not, it’s nothing to do with your photos. That’s how you look all the time. You are used to seeing other people in real life and when you see their photo it looks natural, and other people see you all the time like you are on the photo. Ask them if you look natural or awkward.

People looks really good to themselves in the mirror but that’s not how they look in real life. It’s the same if you record your voice and hear it back. You’ll just have to learn to get over it.

Why don’t you ask them for the unedited photos. Of course you have to pay for it but ask and see if they sell it

Use the grey card. Lightroom knows what color that grey card exactly is. So when you point it out to Lightroom it will set the white balance to be exact color that grey card should be therefore setting the rest of the colors to the exact colors according to the grey card. You can set the correct colors in 2 seconds instead of adjusting for hours

It’s fine

Concert photography isn’t a lucrative field or interesting filed, other than you get to see some artists for free. There is nothing to it other than the lens you use or settings. What are you expecting from these people? I’d love to see the questions you asked?? It’s just find someone who is willing to pay you and ask to shoot the event. There is nothing more to it.

Assuming that anyone can shoot the event, yes it’s morally ok. It’s not your problem that other photographer is too dumb to negotiate a decent contract

You cannot just show up to a private event (even some public events) and start to take photos of strangers. Just go on their website/Facebook/ Instagram and just ask. If you ask nicely people will let you shoot their events. And if they let you come shoot don’t be an asshole about copyright either, just let them use it for free. You can worry about the copyright when you start to shoot professionally.

Ah… golden age when you didn’t have to bother with OSHA laws.
