>>2967067>Plus I'm kinda shy lmao I'm extremely shy too, but I always talk to the other photographers, especially if it's a hot chick. Same basic questions, who do you shoot for, gear, if they like the band, etc. I will always give them my card if I like them or if they tell me they want to contact me. More often than not we'll end up following each other on IG. I run into a lot of the same people surprisingly, gotten familiar with security staff at a couple of venues.
>that Portland pubYeah. Still mainly shooting for Vortex, but occasionally I'll get a job with a place called McMenamins, and they pay for my photos. Haven't reached out to other publications. That gives me the idea to print a physical copy of my concert portfolio, using my amazing printer I've been neglecting in the corner of my room, and make some appointments to meet with editors up in Portland.
I've been thinking about doing that same thing, but with fashion/model agencies to be an in-house photog. I already have my portraiture portfolio printed up on nice paper with decent presentation.
>My friends are throwing the show You're going to have a great time, those shows always end up in a good night!
>>2967073At a big venue, around 1,000 or so people (where they most definitely have good lighting) 800-1600, but if it's a small bar-type venue 3200 to 6400 with a fast aperture. It all depends on the venue, because I've been to small venues with great lighting, and vice-versa.
