This is a tactical, step by step guide on what you can do to kick start your career in music photography.
While not all the institutions and groups will be the same in your area I firmly believe that these guidelines will apply regardless of how it works in your city.
If not for council groups, then other battle of the bands companies would work just fine.
I think most people new to this are lost when it comes to “booking jobs”. This method will help you get working and cut your teeth whilst building connections and portfolio so that when the paying work starts to come in (and it will) you are ready and able to take it on.

It was all seriousness until he said "verbal diarrhea " 17:39 😅😅😅
A show a week? How about a festival a month lol
Excellent inspiring advice in this one. Will try to adapt this strategy and make it work for me here in Germany. I'm in a rural area though, so…. let's see what I can come up with since there is more than one way to skin… uhm… photograph a cat.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
how to get access to shows with a "non pro cam" tho?
Nice Trophy Eyes hat!
Great vid, thanks for your generosity!
Hey PJ, I have only been photographing gigs for just over a year in the UK, never thought of offering my services for battle of the band competitions locally, but have been shooting loads of local bands and will deffo try next year when they start up the competitions again. Great vid btw.
Very valuable information! Thank you!
Great video, mate. Thanks.
Hey do you know how to get that Ohrangutang style look in photos?
I love this and I love that nobody gives this info out!
You read my mind PJ! This is what I've been waiting for, and this video is absolutely brilliant! So incredibly insightful and some brilliant tips ( especially thing's that I would skim over ie. having your own email address, and approaching bands for promos!). Another brilliant youtube video PJ 🙂
Should do an origin video dude
finally! now I can start stealing all of your clients!
This is a pretty long one. I get that this information is not valuable to everyone, but I can pretty much guarantee that if you follow this guide you will start to make a name for yourself in your local scene and set yourself up for regular paying jobs. Happy shooting!
