Norgdom

Myself, Perth Music writer Justin Middleton and Cit J Rich managed to score some press passes to the Big Day Out.

It was great fun and we enjoyed the special privilege of access to the VIP bar Rich took some excellent shots, including the one above, and tells me he had a blast doing it.

There are a few other big events coming up in Perth so if you are interested in scoring some gigs as “press” let me know. This weekend we are off to Good Vibrations and we are aiming for Blues n’ Roots as well as GO3.

Of course anyone can write a review for us of any event they go to and I’m hoping to see more of this. But if Cit Js are hoping to get photography or review passes let me know and we’ll see what we can organise.

As Daniel Boud points out on his great blog on Concert Photography Masterclass:

If you don’t already work with a publication that could seek photo access, you may have to start at the bottom and begin sending your portfolio to different publications advertising your services as a concert photographer. Many concert shooters start out working for free for online publications or street press before they migrate to more mainstream media outlets.

The article is also full of great advice for good concert photos.

At this stage, Cit Js who make a contribution to the site will be given preference, but I’m always open to suggestions and ideas.

Hope to see you round the norg …
