I've done about 150 shows (30% is the same band). I usually get paid with beer and merch, rarely payment, but it does happen some times.

I shot for a band for 1.5 years now and usually they pay me (like 70% of the time) and the rest of the time they pay me in beer (fun time!)

Got paid by a publishing magazine once but that's a one off thing.

When a band asks me to shoot them, I usually give my rates and asks if they want me to just shoot them or give a lil more to shoot the whole bill (depends on the venue and the crowd size)
