I’ve known of this site for a long time but have only recently joined and was hoping you get your advice.
I moved to Dublin in February this year for new job and have not done much photo work since and so want to get back into it. One of my loves when I first took up the camera was live music photography and with the number of venues/gigs happening in Dublin this could also be the perfect place to start.
Does anyone have any experience of getting into gigs here in Dublin to shoot? Do you need to know the band or have contact with the venue itself? I am not looking for money at this point, just the chance to get some shots, build up a nice portfolio and I would be happy to let them use the shots on their site(s) with a photo credit (& link back to my site maybe).
