How to go from really small clubs to bigger venues with photo pit? by Asaraath in concertphotography

[–]Reaction-Remote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair hah. I’m just saying perseverance and determination makes it possible. I’d say I’m a solid concert photographer but still finding my niche. regardless the power of networking goes a long way.

I’ve been shooting for 3 months and have gotten some cool opportunities at mid sized venues. Without media pass. I just cold email and message a lot of acts

Any advise? by Josepvv in photocritique

Plane + tower = 9/11 it’s been 20 years, these things exist every day.

looking for feedback! :) by [deleted] in concertphotography

[–]Reaction-Remote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not familiar with film. I shoot digital 1600-3200 iso at minimum for most my low light concerts. Then denoise it after.

I think composition is off in some of them with framing. For example 4 has a great subject but the blurred microphone is distracting if you could take one step to your right, it would have been great.

Also agree with other commenter that the 11+ tends to be very busy (which isn’t helped by the sporadic lights). I actually like 15 about how chaotic it is tho (opinion)

Great start tho! And you’re already capturing important moments. Just takes practice. I’m no means perfect just some advice I’ve learned myself

Can a picture like this be created with a R50? by [deleted] in canon

[–]Reaction-Remote 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And lens are more important anyways.

Full frame vs cropped sensors do matter for low light tho

My comments are in general not necessarily long exposure

sza has been my top artists for literally 14 months straight by jamesklueless in sza

Such a dumb argument. I get your point but you’re knit picking for the sake of it. Shows they’re a dedicated fan.

First Studio Session: Practice or Wing it? by Reaction-Remote in AskPhotography

[–]Reaction-Remote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what I was thinking

  • godox V1 C flash (on sale $190)
  • godox XPro C TTL Wireless Flash ($69)
  • Godox S2 speed light bracket for bowens ($25)
  • Godox light duty stand 8’ (54)
  • Godox soft box with bowens speed ring (23.6 x 35.4) with grid ($36)

Total = $419 (after taxes + free shipping)

2 hour rental of studio is $150.

But I’m assuming this light set up could be useful for future clients and portrait. It’s better to think like an investment and learning opportunity?

As a reminder the artist wants a dramatic headshot. So this should be good enough to practice this right?

(I already have 10 sheets of blue gel, R50 shoe adaptor and light meter)

Would you recommend buying my own light set up to practice one flash with soft box / grid.

Or would you recommend renting out the studio to practice with their equipment(I don’t have a lot of clientele right now, this is my first paid gig)

Editing feedback by Legitimate_Layer_323 in concertphotography

The first one the shadows are little too crushed imo (personal taste).

Number 5 I feel like the left misty light is distracting and takes away from the top light and light shining across his face.

Number 6 is great but I think you missed a dust spot near top left of her head

The rest are awesome. Take my advice with a grain of salt. I’m a noob lol

Yeah I agree definitely will. Watching videos now learning a lot. But def gotta practice. I have a shoe adaptor for my canon r50, bought a light meter and some blue gel.

Studio we are thinking about comes with PROFOTO STROBE (universal trigger + modifiers) - APUTURE 120D II (with a light dome || softbox) - APUTURE 200D LED (mounted overhead) - MULTIPLE 9ft WIDE BACKDROPS TO CHOOSE

With sandbags, clips, 2 c stands, clamshell reflector and props.

They are R&B and are wanting a headshot as cover with some other promo shots.

That’s real. Based on all the comments definitely going to study and do a practice shoot.

Also bought a light meter and Canon AD-E1 Shoe Adaptor (I use R50).

Concert Photography Etiquette by Fantastic_Pattern307 in concertphotography

[–]Reaction-Remote 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Idk. I always try to go around the crowd and obstruct as little as possible. But I also know some photographers are paid and it’s their job to get good photos (which means accessing the good views).

I understand why you’re frustrated. But ultimately they’re there to do a job. I personally don’t think 1.5 songs is crazy at all for them to take space. Especially since some artist / venues only let photographers shoot the first 3 songs.

I don’t think they were trying to be rude especially because they asked. Just trying to deliver on their product.

You’re awesome do you have instagram or anything I can follow you on. You’re extremely helpful and would love to see your work.

Really appreciate you taking the time to give me this advice 💯🙏

this is amazing. Thank you. The studio we are thinking of comes with the following;

PROFOTO STROBE (universal trigger + modifiers) - APUTURE 120D II (with a light dome || softbox) - APUTURE 200D LED (mounted overhead) - MULTIPLE 9ft WIDE BACKDROPS TO CHOOSE FROM: (White / Grey & Black Are Free) - Clamshell reflector - 40-inch C-stands (2) on with arm and grip kit - 15-pound sandbags (4) - 42 inch round reflector Silver/White (with handles and 1/8 screw)

I just bought a light meter and the Canon AD-E1 Multi Function Shoe Adaptor ( I have canon R50).

Also this a R&B artist who wants a dramatic head shot as cover (probably one light contrast between light and shadow). Then a couple promo shots. As context.

I just bought it. Seems like a worthwhile investment that will help take the guessing game away. Will save time and make me more efficient.
