Q.  Hi, I was wondering if you could give me advice on how & the best ways to get into photography in the music industry? Especially photography of live performances and Band Shoots?digital-camera
cheers, Kate

A. Hi Kate,
Thanks for your question, the short answer is go to gigs, take pics of bands, send them to the bands and if they like them they will use you.
The business is very much based on word of mouth and initially you will probably have to work for free but if your stuff is good then people will use you for paid shoots.
Obviously put your work up on Flickr or similar. Also feel free to send some pics to us here and if we like them we will put them up on the site.
Best, FTTS
