[@bieberlove98ful]

Been shooting shows a little over a year and I promise you all of these tips work! I've tried all of them! Thanks Jake for creating a video like this to help photographers shoot their way into the photo pit!

[@miavm19]

I am only a sophomore in high school and my dream is to shoot shows. This was very helpful! I will start to work on building a strong portfolio so when the time comes I can get a photo pass.

[@suzannetersiguel2898]

I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you. You’re a god

[@yarahaddad1469]

Forreal though, thank you for this video Jake! You don’t realize how much you’re actually helping people reach their dreams and just thank you for sharing your tips and tricks and not keeping them for yourself lol you’re a ✨REAL ONE ✨ take care!

[@nicoalexanderia3140]

shoutout to corona for killing my concert photography grind ✌️ i had like 7 photo passes and an internship lined up and all that’s just in the trash now,, i hate it here

[@jacobdevlin3279]

I was about to start shooting for the Boston Celtics , fell through along with my other opportunities, just keep going and don’t let up dawg , it’s a marathon not a race

[@offlineAC]

Show me another photographer youtube who gives as many insider tips I’ll wait

[@Jakechams]

SEEEESHHHHHH

[@yarahaddad1469]

Also, help ya girl out and link the backpack with the secret compartment lmao

[@blvdskvll]

These Tips Are Really Interesting 🤔! Also Can You Maybe Do A Video On Photography Tips And Good Cameras To Use

[@connorgaskey7858]

Rad video my guy! This was a great video and can say a lot of these methods have worked for me. If I could shot any artist on this blue planet, it would def have to be Jon Bellion. I could die a happy baby boy after that. Who you wanting to shoot right now if you could man?

[@SamGriffff]

I was literally thinking about how I can gain access to the photo out at concerts earlier today, then this conveniently popped up, great vid man😄

[@kttaylorr6]

I haven’t updated my LinkedIn since college, but will be revisiting and updating soon!

[@Jakechams]

Get after it!!!

[@rannyele]

Amazing!!! Thank you

[@zeidy2985]

Jakeeee thank you for taking ur time to make these videos they are really helpful ilyyy

[@AdamRelayson]

So as a semi-professional photographer (it isn’t my main source of money), I’ve only shot shows at small venues and even then very rarely. I decided to try different things this year. As it turns out, one of my all time favorite artists is playing a big, non-stadium venue. I’ve loved Tori Amos since I was 14 and i desperately want to shoot this show. So I’m trying my best to figure a way in there.

[@thiqo]

Fingers crossed!

[@oldbrownshoe]

how'd it go?!

[@Officiallynio]

I admire your hustle so much!

[@brooke_lowe3372]

Thanks Jake really helpful

[@Jakechams]

Of course! Thanks for watching

[@thebrookster1]

Yo man this is so helpful I'm gonna be hitting up my local venues and diving into the depths of linkdin

[@cm-jc9hj]

Hehe...thank you. Gotta wait 3 more years ish to kinda do stuff like this. And again you’re the only reason why I want to become a photographer...like seriously no joke😂 hopefully I can keep this plan going :) thank you Jake once again!!!❤️

[@Jakechams]

You’ll get there

[@cm-jc9hj]

Jake Chamseddine I’m being positive 😊

[@stephhendriksen5931]

This is so cool! thank you so much for sharing these tips with us Jake!

[@Jakechams]

stephatthedisco of course!

[@310-b5g]

Jake you are a legend!

[@happyjackfilms]

Thank you for making this vid! I work in sports and film rn and music has definitely been different to navigate. This info was awesome I’ll try these out!

[@marvinlee1625]

Shooting for free is great in the beginning. But, you have to get paid at some point as you enhance your portfolio. Not an easy task to get paid. Building a relationship is essential to opening the door for paid opportunities. Do not chase money in the beginning of your music photography journey.

[@RockCrazy23]

Such great tips :) Thank you so much Jake

[@sammi7531]

love how you're always sharing tips with the people you've inspired 🥺💓

[@whoislauna]

I remember a while ago I saw that you got to shoot for G-Eazy and that made me so happy, I love him 🥺🖤

[@jackryan2170]

Your the best photographer aka your my inspiration

[@Jakechams]

🖤

[@phoenix_axel]

Can you make a video on getting started with promoting your photography and where to begin?

[@cheys_vlogs]

[@Jakechams]

Hopefully it can help!

[@cheys_vlogs]

Jake Chamseddine definitely! will for sure be using them!!

[@kettles7262]

[@andreabohjanen7992]

Love the intro. I don’t remember if it’s new or not, but it looks awesome! Your effort is evident!

[@emblazechan8419]

Finally maybe I don’t have to use my phone to take pictures thanks jake you’re the best! Honestly I would get to get any photo pass it would be a dream come true. Thanks for teh good advice always!

[@phoenix_axel]

Literally want to be able to go into photography as a living so thank you for this!!!!!

[@yarahaddad1469]

Dude I’ve had linked for years and now I’m like *frantically looking for my laptop to get in contact with artist reps and managers * lmao

[@meowzer6281]

How do you make money with it if you just shoot for free to get the passes?

[@puppydawg133]

I would absolutely love to photograph All Time Low. Love them so much, such a fun bunch of dudes.. You're awesome Jake!!! Thank you for the tips!

[@Jakechams]

Such a good group!

[@jessecobb9596]

Excellent work bro, I appreciate the tips!

[@Jakechams]

Love u. Thank you so much for watching

[@paulbechea1067]

Thank you so much for sharing these tips with us! The next question would be how do you proceed if the guy you talked for free access to the event wants you to participate as a photographer at the next festival, do you go again for free? Ask for the correct amount of money for the festival? Can he complain that he helped you in the beginning?

[@XenijaCurly]

Me: *leaving art field* Me: *traveling while shooting*🥺

[@rainbowcookie1013]

Hey! Thank you for the great advice! Could you make a video on your music photography camera gear? I'm thinking of purchasing the Fuji xt4 would love your thoughts. Do you think that's a good camera for concert/music photography?

[@emilylandherr2244]

I would die to photograph the band halestorm

[@JeszyA]

I’ve snuck a camera into a few shows before & then the one time I actually adhered to the fixed lens rule for the 1975 security wasn’t going to let it fly until another guard came over & was like “I literally don’t care, let her in” 😂

[@gabrielleturgeon3676]

imagine being front row for a panic concert. a girl could dream :)

[@nikkyv6798]

I would love to photograph Adam Lambert concerts, it would be my dream job. Right now I am trying to build my portfolio since I can’t go anywhere. I’m 17 and have big photography dreams❤️

[@castor711]

is there a certain age that you have to be to get a photo pass?

[@laurenjervis5232]

I really want to start taking more photos but I don't have the money to get a camera to shoot and practice photography:( I'm sure I'll get there some day! My dream artist to shoot is probably Panic! At the Disco or Imagine Dragons!

[@jaeshellz]

I’m trying to photograph Kid Cudi at Gov ball in NY this year. It’s gonna be tough.

[@elixstrations7147]

Were you able to do it?

[@jaeshellz]

@@elixstrations7147 unfortunately no. Couldn’t secure a press pass but I’m not giving up.

[@ThatManAdrian]

jakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@literalnightowl5181]

Not me returning to this video because I wanna photograph Fall Out Boy this summer...

[@dominikvigil3544]

My dream shoot would be Christina Aguilera! 💞

[@yarahaddad1469]

Harry Styles is the ✨DREAM✨ artist for me.
