1. What did you think about concert photography BEFORE enrolling in Shooting The Rockstars?

Concert Photography was exciting for me and a challenge. I knew very little of how you attend any, concerts and i was lucky enough to be part of unsigned local bands that help me get started. However i did not had a clue about promoters, copyright, sharing images, magazines and making any money or anything that was involved I just kept sharing my images on Facebook and other social media and got noticed and i knew i wanted to do more its as about research which is hard and Shooting The Rockstars gave me everything i needed to progress . I love being part of music photography and still its a challenge but an exciting adventure

2. What did you think about concert photography AFTER going through the training?

I feel i am more prepared and have a better understanding and where as i would be facing a up hill battle to progress in career. Its a fantastic course and i will always refer to the topics and guidance it provides.
