Hey! I have a question for concert photographers

I reached out to someone asking to photograph a show next month and they're interested but asked what my day rate is, and I've only been doing concert photography for free so far to build a portfolio. What should I be setting my rate to?

For context, I believe the venue capacity is around 3,500. I usually photograph shows at smaller venues but this summer I also photographed a show on an outdoor stage with an 8,000 person capacity at a large music festival. I started dabbling in concert photography last year but really got into it early this year and currently shoot on a Canon EOS Rebel T7.

Here are some photos I've taken at past shows!

carlyraejepsen: Since we last checked in, the So Nice tour has traveled through Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Austin City Limits… and the Denver show is tonight!! (Which, if my math is correct, marks the half-way point of the North American tour?!) Here are some snaps from some of the most magical shows I’ve ever played. 📸 @/alexkaneperkins

No i cannot tell even though I am a woman. How do you know it is from female photographer?

I didn’t mean any woman could tell the difference, although I think it’s obvious - it’s not really something you can easily articulate, but look at these two images:

The one on the left is taken by some middle aged man who views himself as a journalist and is there to complete a job and document a concert (taken from Taylor’s IG, so this constitutes a “good job” by this man). The one on the right was taken by someone who isn’t a cishet man. You can see so much more of an artistic lens, so much more understanding of the subject, so much more knowledge of a woman’s body and angles, so much more care put in because non-men photographers just understand those types of things better on a fundamental level (especially in the Getty / music journalism photo world where the men are some of the most toxic you will ever see in your life). Men probably don’t see this as an incredible opportunity to document a once in a lifetime star and understands who Taylor is and what that all means. Some random old dude who has shot every legendary stadium playing rock act under the sun and just cannot be bothered by what he thinks is some mediocre blonde woman who writes pop songs that they’re there to shoot that day - and they’re not going to do a bad job; some of the photos are great - but there’s absolutely zero heart in them, and holy shit it shows. (And no, that’s not me being sexist or generalizing - I work in this industry and talk to these people constantly and I fucking promise you that’s what these male Getty photographers are like. There’s a massive gatekeeping and sexist and ageist gap in the Getty / music photojournalism world and it’s nearly impossible for women to break into it; so many elements of just gross entertainment industry sexism are at play. And the difference between these two images really illustrates that and how badly we need all these crusty dinosaur men gone)
