@toddowyoung I highly value photographers doing their best in those conditions - last november I gathered photographers in Turkey’s local scene and made a music photography exhibition out of it. There was a lot of amazing work that left me speechless!
@toddowyoung 100% true. I started shooting in small venues and worked my way up to bigger ones. Now I can see how my approach to limited conditions positively affected my photography game.
@elmakias@BryanKirks Love to see this. Forever grateful to you both @elmakias & @BryanKirks for being my mentors and giving me the best learning opportunities - you both have an huge impact on my journey.
Music photography is hard. The access, the business, the limited opportunities. Even the wins can feel fleeting and success is never guaranteed. In all the years doing this, what makes this shared journey easier is kindness and community.

I'm creating a open Google form/sheet for music photography rates so that we as a community can have a transparent look at what publications, festivals, artists, promoters, venues etc are paying for music photography.
It's crucial to focus on high-paying assignments that allow you to showcase your unique talents. Don't waste time on low-impact jobs. And remember, being busy doesn't necessarily equate to financial success.
