Soda Jerk Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah its music, you dont need to see the band every lil second, its hardly offensive if a photography stands out once in a whileBang on. Infact, what are these people even doing at a gig? It's music... Get home and listen to the CD, then be in your bed at a reasonable hour. Stop annoying the photographers who got in for free and are probably getting paid for the result, you clowns.Some people just don't get it. But it's okay. I've got your back.

KimyReizeger Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 what does the number of people in the crowd have to do with photos of bands? so you're saying only bands you like or approve should ever be photographed and they must reach a set crowd number before permission is granted. shite.It's just staged play-acting. Photographers can very easily alter reality and it makes me feel slightly uneasy when people go to such lengths to shoot bad bands. Photography for the sake of photography I guess, but useless as a factual record. And if something didn't happen the way the photograph suggests then the only way it can be considered is aesthetically, but I don't happen to find pics of dudes with guitars very appealing.

Sounds like they need to work on some other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Why does anyone so utterly unworthy as to play gigs to 1 person desperately want pictures of themselves? Sounds like they need to work on some other things.Dude, I would hedger a bet that it's not the acts themselves that organise the photographer, but rather the promoter or the venue in 95% of cases. Or, indeed, it is a random gig-goer who saw a poster for the gig, went along, and decided to do some photos.Don't go too high on that horse. If you fall, you may develop a scab.

aekido Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 well, what makes them unworthy? dont you play music for the enjoyment? I'd play to an empty room so long as I was having funalso, mostly its venues and promotors that ask me to take photos, sometimes the band themselves too.furthermore, publicity and advertising can do wonders for a band, or artists. I could go into great great detail about why, and how, but I'll not bore you with the technical know how. so maybe bands starting off want their face 'out there', letting everyone see them, and get to know them. A decent image can do a lot y'know.I'd think before speaking, since you're head seems so far up your own arse, you can't see what your actually saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
