The best way to reach out to these platforms is by emailing them and asking for permission to take photos of a show. Then, if they like your work, they may give you a press pass to take photos of the show.
Photo pits are typically the area between the front row barricade and the stage. Either way, if you want to take amazing pictures of a concert and build a portfolio of your photography skills, using the proper channels to obtain a press pass is the way to go. Although there are other ways for people to bring in high-quality DSLR cameras, only a few people per show will be given a press or photo pass.
With new phones coming out each year, there are plenty of options when it comes to mobile cameras. And it seems as if every year the cameras on our phones get better and better. These days, there are features on our phones that are helpful when you want to take pictures in low-light settings like most concerts are. If you bought a phone within the last few years, you may have a camera that has the capability to lock the exposure settings.
Usually, when someone takes a photo at a concert on their phone, the stage is too overexposed to really see anything. Not only can the cameras on your phone take better, higher resolution pictures than ever before, but there are also countless options for editing the photos you take. There are so many free photo editing apps, anyone can take pictures that are worth posting on social media.
Although they may not be the best quality pictures, they would absolutely be good enough to prove you were there. I understand that people want to remember the moment of going to see their favorite band or artist, however, is it necessary to watch the whole thing through a screen? Do you feel that recording the whole performance ruins the way you remember it and even cheapens the experience of physically going to a concert? I believe that a concert will always be better if you are fully present in the moment.
I think it is an amazing thing to be able to capture an artist with a mind-blowing photograph. But, I believe that there is a reason that even people with press passes are sometimes limited to photographing only the first few songs. As an artist, it must feel like your music is being underappreciated if all people care about is taking a photo of their face.
It is important to take the pictures that you feel are crucial in order to remember the memories of that day. You can also unbutton your pants, hang your camera from your button, and then re-button your pants.
Then simply slip the camera down into your pants and let it hang. It may be uncomfortable,but holds your camera securely and you don't have to worry about it being found, even if you're frisked.
Keep your wallet in a large pocket and if frisked, when they ask what's in your pocket, immediately say its just your wallet. If you do this you should get in fine. If you're using a professional grade camera with a lens, this may work for you. You'll need a friend. Take your camera, a separate body you won't be shooting with, and two lenses. Have your friend conceal one lens well and one lens very conspicuously, so that it will be found with a simple search.
Do the same with your two camera bodies. Have your friend go first. When the lens is found, have them give it up obligingly and apologize to you, where you will step up, possibly curse or look abashed, and hand over your dummy camera body.
These will be tagged for pickup after the show, and it is unlikely they will search you for a second camera. The same can be done with small pocket cameras. Conceal your real one well, and then use a disposable or cheap other camera as your dummy.
Ladies: Fluff and tease your hair up to a nice volume. Get a poofy sort of hat, like the ones Britney Spears is fond of. Pull some of your hair into a poof on top of your head, and conceal your camera inside. Top it off with your big hat and you're good to go. This is also easily reversed once inside, so you don't have to walk around with bad hair. Security may ask you to remove your hat though, counteracting this technique.
Use your gloves. Get one pair of gloves, and a third of the same or a similar type. Place your camera inside one glove, and wear the other two. When in line, place your camera glove someplace inconspicuous but where you might set your gloves normally.
When in plain sight of a bouncer, or right before being searched, obviously take your gloves off and place them on top of the third, then pick them up in one hand or set them on the table with your jacket and umbrella, or something of the sort.
Then when you have been searched, pick up your gloves, tip your hat, and enjoy the show. If your camera is strong and thin enough, put your camera in your shoe. I doubt that the guard would ask you to take off your shoes. When in there, go into the bathroom and take the camera out of your shoe; put the camera in one of your pockets or any other easily-accessible area and enjoy the show.
Wear an old jacket and carve a little seam in it make sure it's on the inside of the coat so nobody sees it , the size of a camera will do it and tape it up or sew it up. Go through the whole process with the guard and get in. During the concert, play, show, etc. Once inside, if you get caught, do not make a fuss or a scene, your camera, film, memory card, and tickets may all be subject to confiscation.
Be apologetic and act ignorant. Take a cinch bag and a hoodie, wrap you camera into your hoodie and put the hoodie in you bag.
Put in some cash, a phone, etc. The rules on confiscation will depend on the country the concert is in but taking property permanently is usually a form of theft, so there would have to be some way of giving the camera and its contents back to you.
You can be removed for trespass but your camera should be returned to you or you could sue the company and individuals involved. Yes No. Not Helpful 1 Helpful Does this apply for phones as well, since I'm planning to bring my phone to record? Phones are usually allowed in concerts, but if the venue doesn't allow phones, then yes, this would apply to phones. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 8.

A good trick is to buy a bra that is a size bigger then usual, and simply use the extra space to hide your camera and other things that aren't allowed in.

For many musicians, image is a big part of their show. Look at what happened with Beyonce at the Super Bowl last year. Some unflattering pictures of her got out and went viral.
Some would say they only got so popular because she tried to cover them up, but from my perspective, she only tried to get them taken down once the Photoshop internet fiesta had begun. For Beyonce, it was bad for business to have unflattering pictures out there. Part of the issue with the Beyonce photos from her standpoint was that they were taken by a hardcore pro on excellent gear. Look bad in a smartphone shot? Blame it on the phone.
Most people who see it will. Same goes for a fan with an expensive camera. This same idea carries over to video as well, where it actually expands a little. Not every performance on every given night is going to be perfect. In the live music settings, strings break, wrong notes are played, sound gets wonky, and a whole assortment of other things tends to happen. When people start recording video of every show on their nice cameras, those mistakes get preserved and broadcast.
Maybe the drummer breaks a snare drum head in the middle of a song, or the guitarist gets the neck of his guitar whacked, throwing things out of tune. That might not come across in a Youtube video presented on its own, and that makes the artist look bad.
Not to mention the fact that your recording might look great, but the sound will definitely not be that great. Not flattering, right? Running a live music venue is a tough gig. It becomes more difficult as your customers increasingly bring in delicate equipment that costs thousands of dollars. You might. But, you might also go after the venue.
