GoPro POV while Photographing Of Mice & Men Live at Warped Tour

I put a GoPro on the top of my camera to try and give you an idea of how I shot my photos for that day. I give you a gear walkthrough at the start.

[@oliviaandbands7714]

i love how respectful adam is towards the bands that he works with. whether it's cutting out the audio so it's not invading their privacy or asking permission to go onstage to take pictures of the band. they all have mutual respect for each other; that's one of the many reasons I love adam

[@stephaniedvorsky3862]

alan flipping everyone offin the picture is priceless and mi favorite

[@SilversteinRescue]

It makes me so happy to hear how passionate you are about what you do. Great to see someone out there doing what they love.

[@LoganReidMedia]

Can tell youve toured with them when you go running knowing where the jump shot will be aha

[@elmakias]

:)

[@LoganReidMedia]

oooh look you replied. :) I was on a couple dates of Warped myself, would have been cool to share the pit with you again! Last time that happened was the PTV/SWS tour and I sucked back then compared to now lol

[@TheChildishTycoon]

+Adam Elmakias did someone actually still you're stuff?!!! :O

[@alysemarrietta7341]

Super cool to see how you shoot 👍 thanks for the video. Can't wait to see the other warped photos you took on your blog.

[@alys1007]

It's pretty cool how you always respect the band, fans and other photographers. love your work adam!

[@billynicholsdrums8530]

You are my biggest inspiration as a photographer. I always watch your videos and look at your photos for ideas. Thank you dude!

[@gabsandelizabeth]

I get goosebumps when i see your pictures, its true every picture is worth a thousand words and you capture such breath taking images its amazing. Keep doing what you love and hopefully someone will find your stuff and give it back or you will find it i love you adam stay amazing and always be your slef

[@geddyfranco]

You are the best band photographer I have ever seen Adam! Thanks for taking photos of shows so well that I feel like I was there!

[@Jason-ic6jc]

I LOVE these vlogs with you shooting in them. It's really interesting, as a photographer, to watch someone else take photos and to watch how they take photos. It's REALLY cool to see them use certain "techniques" that you also use. XD

[@awkwardlyandrea]

I REALLY love this video! It's so interesting to see the POV of a photographer. I'm a huge fan of your work, Adam! More vids like this please :)

[@cassiedeadmond5154]

Absolutely love this video. I love that you added the finished photos into the video too! Always interesting to see another photographer's POV. Plus OM&M are one of my favorites. :D

[@alisha1961]

[@feliciacimillo]

Lou and Tommy complaining to Adam about not coming to watch Breathe Carolina's set is so cute.

[@ShutterOnlineUK]

Great video! I love the look that girl gives you when she sees your drone takes off. Unreal.

[@ccclllaairre]

sick shoot adam! I love these sorts of videos!

[@Sergeantpaprika]

So sorry about your stuff, dude. But I really appreciate you doing your videos! I'm glad you look on the bright side because it brightens up my day.

[@michaelacraycroft8251]

This really makes me want to become a music photographer. Looks like a fun job but I can definitely tell it is hard work. Keep it up, we love what you are doing!

[@sophiepearson3687]

This has totally got me so excited for Reading festival, when I see them live! Also I'm at college studying photography and it's cool how you show which equipment you use! Thanks for that, sorry you lost your stuff or got it stolen, that kinda sucks.

[@HereItLoveIt]

This is awesome! I love, love, love, your photography. How much does all your equipment caused in total? Just curious, the quality is so good, it must have cost you a fortune!

[@isabellastanford291]

ADAM.....I love you!!!!!!

[@meghanbiersack2709]

Adam, have you ever thought about taking off for a little bit and going on your own tour so you have the time to meet all of your fans? Would you want to, and why?

[@marianaqno]

Loved the shoot at 15:32 👌👌

[@1995coasterfreak]

Would you do a crowd shot from the copter of the wall of death right when everyone starts running towards each other? Thought it'd look cool

[@emmalovesmusic7898]

i really appreciate you

[@marisaperry7873]

Adam Your so frikin adorable with your camera talk

[@brooke3111]

i was here this day. and i actually said hi to you adam.i got a picture of you just not with you

[@oliviagorka8788]

More behind the scenes videos please :)

[@VikkiFmelodies]

Adam, are you going to be with of mice and men at reading and Leeds this year ?????

[@FaithIsUndead]

Adam, I just realized that you can take some badass selfies with Carl!

[@elmakias]

yes, but are they really selfies?

[@anneheartshorses]

+Adam Elmakias slefies

[@FaithIsUndead]

Couldn't it? I think you could use one to take a picture and or a selfie:)

[@calikeyes99]

Good lord I screenshot the hell out of these videos...

[@joshuaplantan90]

Great photographs, great video, do you have a website as to where I can see all your photos, and I'm just curious where you got that quadcopter kit with the monitor and all, thanks!

[@samthompson499]

Adamelmakias. Com

[@blindchannelfinland]

COOL !

[@simonegateas2647]

This made me wanna go back 19 days to my Warped Tour date :(

[@alialink2890]

Holy crap +Adam Elmakias you have like eighty cameras!!!

[@oliviapotter1401]

It makes sense since he's a professional photographer.

[@awsomemanga123]

What camera did you first use? And also how did you get noticed for your photography? I would always love to do this and it is still one of my biggest dreams c:

[@SCVis]

Are you gonna do a video on how you use Lightroom?

[@XxEquine4EverxX]

YAAARRRRSSSSS ADAAAAAMM

[@AlexSiracusano]

What are your settings for outdoor festivals. speed/iOS and such.

[@jbrown884]

How often do you shoot manual for quick festivals like that?

[@kellbenz]

this is literally my dream life wow i hope this is me one day :-))

[@Stevsta1213]

Do you shoot manual for live shows? How do you keep a good exposure for the dark stage and bright sky?

[@kitkatkay77]

how did you get started with the "alternative" side

[@zoeashcroft3898]

That sucks about your things, but it was a great video, I really enjoyed it so thank you! :)

[@trichert951]

I see the 15mm sigma fisheye lens in your gear list. I have a 1.6 crop factor on my 60D (not exactly sure). Do you think it would be more wise to get a 10mm fisheye since most of the 15 would be cropped out? Or do you think it would be cropped out that much?

[@Oblvious]

"His name is Carl."

[@ryancallum9880]

Have you ever crashed the copter and how did you learn to drive it?

[@AUSTINROSE0416]

What do you do about the sun on your camera? Does it not effect the camera? I live in clothes and i worry about my camera getting messed up from the sun's ride hotness

[@skrpopstar]

do you shoot automatic? and what type of lens do you recommend for beginners?

[@dianabarco1]

Tinooo footage yes 🙌

[@elmakias]

he so sick

[@dianabarco1]

yes and very nice ^-^

[@EmmaKintner]

Oh my god lou and tommy from breathe carolina😂

[@zerotoker]

"where are we again?" xD

[@UncleeDaddyy]

do you shoot manual. or do you use a priority mode. if priority: which one? if manual: how do you go from so many different lighting situations (since its outside with clouds etc. and different perspectives) to always get the right exposure. is it just a ton of practice or do you sometimes have to save stuff in post, cause your exposure was off? :) Lasse

[@HopelessAuthor]

do you edit every shot you take? been wondering

[@ljm_2011]

adam, you will probably know, those mesas on stage are duds right? Because there are videos all over detailing these bands amps and they are under the tents. are they just mic'd or what?

[@MrRPGs]

Heeeey Pittsburgh

[@francesprutsman193]

what warped date was this?

[@SuperZombieToast]

Can you make a video like a beginners guide to becoming a band photographer or something?

[@CyN1caL42]

Check out the 3 part "The Music Photographer DVD" he has on his channel. It's a bit outdated (he still has hair) but a lot of the things in part 1 are pretty dead on and helpful if you're starting out.

[@BrandonNeedles]

It would of been sick to see it when Austin was reaching up with a claw like and during O.G. Loko
