how i booked 3 shoots this weekend
been laser-focused on getting the community up and running these last couple of months - it was high time i knocked the dust off the ol' camera and got back to shooting live music!
i used liturallyyyy the same method that i show you in the Bootcamp to find* these shows:
- looked through my city's gig guide to see what was on
- narrowed my search down to venues with good lighting
- sent Instagram DMs to the artists playing at the venues (and emails to the bigger artists)
- got ignored by most, but accepted by a couple!
side note: i'm starting to venture out of the underground scene and am reaching out to bigger artists - email definitely seems to be superior for making contact for these shows.
mind you, these aren't paid gigs - i'm shooting these for free.
(this gets you through bigger doors, faster - i wonder why)
just wanted to show you that what you learn in the beginning can be applied all the way up to getting into theatre-sized shows - i want to find out if i can take it further (stadiums? festivals?)
p.s. here are some of my faves from last night - experimenting a little with throwing GREEN into the shadows - kinda funky
p.p.s. it's my first time sharing pics to the community, so i'm pretty fuckin stoked about that!
edit: i said that this was the method i show you in the Bootcamp, but that’s not true - sending DMs & emails is something i’ll show in the Masterclass.
