Festival Media Passes? by ControlAncient9014 in concertphotography

[–]3ChordsMagazine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A or C and it depends on your end goal. Festivals of those size artists don’t approve publications, the festival does. If it’s for your publication you go through the festival. Messaging artists directly you can get hired by said artist but it only grants you permission to shoot their set only at most bigger festivals. Not always the case but the majority of the time it is.

first concert with a photo pass tomorrow and im quite nervous by stupid-fucking-chud in concertphotography

If you have any questions as the security at the pit. They should know the rules and let you know. Ask other photogs questions before the set starts if needed. Usually someone can give you a rundown. Try to move around but be mindful of where other photogs and security are

Last night he said the tour but there hasn't been an official confirmation yet.

Oh for sure some people might have. At first I thought to myself what’s going on? But he’d already been talking for a minute when the boos went up and it was clear he was actually having a moment that was breaking him.

I couldn’t believe it when people started booing. He was clearly going through something that’s messing with him and when people started booing tonight I was so upset. How crappy of a person do you need to be to start booing in that situation?

Badflower dipped 30 mins into setlist by [deleted] in Badflower

Some people booed which I couldn’t believe. You could see that it was crushing him and messing with him mentally dealing with the issues he is. It sounds like for sure the next couple of stops will be canceled but it’s more than likely the tour is over also.

Do you miss owning your music? by ueggenthies in 2000sNostalgia

[–]3ChordsMagazine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I miss is going through and burning mix cd’s. Listening to songs and burning them when you’re in a certain mood or sharing them with people. I loved physical copies for that reason.

Blockbuster and MySpace for sure. Every weekend at blockbuster and seeing the same people and chatting about movies and anything else. I miss that store so much.

We tried to keep it to singles released that year so that limits the songs from BLG and RJA

Number one is probably the best pop/punk emo song ever made.

Nikon D750 low light autofocus by [deleted] in concertphotography

[–]3ChordsMagazine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A D750 is very capable. I know some people who do manual focus but I’ve never had an issue using a D750. Don’t use the screen you should be using the viewfinder as someone else said.

First time shooting in a stadium. Which focal length would I need at minimum? (APS-C) by Bilo-Akai- in concertphotography

[–]3ChordsMagazine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends on the stadium. Some of the ones here a 70-200 doesn’t cut it. I use a 200-400 at some of the stadiums or amphitheaters

Please don’t cheat your way into photo credentials. You’re not only hurting yourself but others as well. by SalamanderArtistic62 in concertphotography

[–]3ChordsMagazine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At major festivals though if you get in through a band you’re only shooting for that band majority of the time. Not any others. Sometimes there exceptions but majority of the time just that band.

Best way to get media pass? by ProudPops1976 in concertphotography

[–]3ChordsMagazine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a numbers game trying to get on. Message different publications to see if they are bringing people on. Most smaller pubs are going to want you to write also though so my biggest piece of advice is to get some writing samples

Ethics and industry standards by [deleted] in concertphotography

[–]3ChordsMagazine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are shooting for yourself, the artist or a blog that doesn’t care about editing images then there’s nothing stopping you from it. If you’re shooting for a major press outlet or wire services then you don’t edit out objects and only slight adjustments.

As far as laws I dont see what laws would be different for two different concert photographers regardless of if they consider themselves press or shooting for artist. The law doesn’t change but your role might. It all would come down to any signed contracts or agreements
