framheim Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 why would they do it for free? unless you're mates with them or going to get something out of it themselves? do you guys play gigs for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Alot of gig photographers I know of do it for free, for the sake of their own portfolio, but not on demand. Just if they are at the gig, and it's bands they like and you're lucky enough to be on the same bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just if they are at the gig, and it's bands they like and you're lucky enough to be on the same bill.i'll let bands i know or like use photos i've taken at gigs for free, but that's only if i've done it off my own back because i'm interested in the band. i just get annoyed when folk are actively looking for professional services for free when they wouldn't give their services for free.

Seems like a fair request to me. A lot of up and comers would jump at the chance of expanding their portfolio and having the opportunity to organise shoot as practice for when they launch themselves as pros. I'm sure this band (if they're nice enough people) would in turn do something for the person who takes their photaes if they get the chance. That's how the local music scene should work... I scratch your back you scratch mine kinda thing.I count two clichs in that paragraph, yas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could offer somebody photo services in exchange for their equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
