Working in the Trenches:
A friend of mine gave me this book as a gift to fuel my desire and passion of live music photography. That was four years ago ... for the past 3 1/2 years I've been successfully working in 'the pit' for every major and up and coming artist and band that tours! The book is GREAT for BEGINNERS who are just trying to figure out where to begin and how to go about securing credentials for gigs. The book is very well written and covers all the aspects of questions within the music industry regarding imagery and credentials ... it also does well in covering the brick walls that you find yourself faced with in pursing a career in this very fickle and spur of the moment change the music biz throws at you. CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY is a MUST HAVE for any who wish to give this path a 'go'. My copy has a VERY worn cover and it's one I will treasure in my library of music info permanently!

Very authoritative!:
Book was well written and to the point. Covers every aspect of what you need to do to get started as well as how to remain in demand. From establishing a contact to selling your prints for profit, this book covers it all. Good coverage of technical aspects of photography as well as the business and personal relations topics of the profession. Easy reading. Real-life experiences (do's and don'ts) by author and other professionals make you aware of potential pitfalls/blunders as well as ways to conduct yourself as a professional with the band, management, etc. Highly recommended.

Get Your Credit Card Out:
I ordered this book after seeing great reviews for it throughout the internet. I have been doing concert photography for about a year now (2000-2001) and have been working my way up, slowly... But that is Ok.. Anyway, back to the book! Buy this book! It will offer you some fantastic advise and give you insight in to how these crazy music people work. The only thing better than this book is real world experience in 'the trenches' Molly R. RaveShots.Com
