If you want to get into concert photography, you don't need to buy a $2,000 camera and f/2.8 zooms. You don't need to start photographing bands in arenas. You don't even need a photo pass. Take a camera to a local show. Be the photographer in your scene. Make images you love.

Want to be a concert photographer? Bring your camera to a concert, even if it’s a point-and-shoot or your phone. Then do it again. And again. Don’t wait for a photo pass, the perfect arena show, your favorite band or until you’ve saved up for your first “real” camera.

If you’re a freelance photographer cold emailing clients, use the word “hire” instead asking if they “need a photographer.” “Hire” is direct business language that sets the expectation of payment. “Need” can come across as volunteering to work for free or in trade.
