Hi Terry,

I have photographed live bands and recently I have photographed a Pink Floyd act at the PITZ in Milton Keynes. I also recently photographed a Michael Jackson Tribute. There are one or two pictures on my website of this event. I am in the process of looking for a low light lens with a mid-long range zoom, do you have any suggestions? I also have a 50mm f1.8 that I use but would like to sell as it does not auto-focus on my cmera which makes it extremely difficult for live bands and events as you can imagine.

Thanks,

Keith

Hi Kim,

I’m also interested in getting in to gig photography.I’ve been going around music venues taking pics of new local bands (mostly free entry) talking to the staff at the venues and the bands.I was told it’s mostly about getting your work and name about.
Another suggestion was to put pics of bands on cds and send them as examples of your work to venues.Offering to take pics for local bands,is a good way to build up a portfolio ,experience and networking .I’ve been emailing local festivals and events offering to take pics for them.

Good luck.
Sophie
