hey if someone says they’re not drinking, it’s none of your business as to why! doesn’t matter if they’re sober or are just not drinking for the evening! not your business! don’t ask! don’t try to pressure! thanks!

yes!!! artists/idols are not your friends! even if someone is transparent on social media and in their career, that doesn’t mean that you truly KNOW them. no matter how accessible an artist may seem - take a step back and think before you speak

i’ve never been a full tour photographer, so there are some things i cannot speak on. however. calling pub photogs “musty” is not the take you think it is. they’re there, also trying to get shots. they have three songs and that’s it. they’re doing their best.

had someone who hired me for a shoot ask me on a date, I said I wasn't interested, and they said "but I paid you to shoot my show!" ....my guy, this was a business transaction. you're not entitled to me or my time because you hired me for a shoot once.

respectfully—if a photographer i looked up to gave me unsolicited criticism and one of my shots was a “worse” version of one…i’d just delete the whole thing lol. there’s a time and place for constructive criticism, this (and the wording) isn’t it.

@JakeChams agree with jake, 1st shot amazing, 2nd shot good - my favorite part is his face, third shot emotional. Would scrap 4th but only because its a worse version of first. Keep it up

as someone who does some tour press, some friendly tips for newer photogs when reaching out for shows! -we're very rarely able to approve if you're not affiliated with a publication. even if it's a small one, that helps! -keep your emails concise! -pls be patient

now, if you’re a publication photographer not respecting the tour photographer and that they’re hired for this, change your attitude. if you’re a tour photographer not respecting the publication photographers, change your attitude. respect goes both ways.

can't believe this has to be said but PLEASE do not use my photos of artists for your insanely explicit/sexual/gross comments about them. it's gross, uncomfortable for me AND anyone else who may see it, and just messed up on so many levels.
