[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 16834, member: 4398"] Although I am a not for profit photographer (well I don't get paid! LOL) I take photos that are used by the local newpapers website for the local festivals, seeing as my wife runs it for them I don't really have a choice :) The pro's of this are that I get to take lots of good photos watching something I love which is live music. We are doing well, possibly beacuse we come free but more and more requests keep coming in for us to attend more festivals and gigs. We are now on 3 festival commitees, we will never be rich and spending 3 days at a 5, 6, 7 stage festival trying to get photos of every local act, the headliners and as many Social images as we can is exhausting, but I wouldn't change it for anything, I might have to in years to come as if I keep sticking my head in PA systems to get a good angle on a singer or guitarist will eventually lead to madness LOL. We get involved, muck in and help out as we go at these events, the appreciation from bands and organisers make it all worthwhile. If you can make money shooting what you love I take my hat off to you and wish you all the luck in the world. Now if I can only find a way to start charging.......hmmmm :) [/QUOTE]
