I don't take photos during all the gigs. I want to enjoy myself as well. So , I take photos in the beginning of the gig (3 first songs) after I sing, dance etc. I can take pictures again when there's slow titles for example or when i see something interesting on stage. When I see some (professionnal) photographers who take photos during all the gig I found it a bit annoying for the band and especially for the audience because some (professionnal) photographers are not very discret and sometimes they don't really pay attention to the audience and stand just in front of some people who can't see because of them or disturb the audience. When I'm at gigs the behaviour of some (professionnal) photographers make me angry because of all that and after I don't want to take photos at all !
more and more photographers (professionnal or not) are inconsiderate (don't know if it's the right word, I mean they want to take a photo and they do anything for that, annoying everybody) and it gets on my nerves more and more!
at gigs some professionnal photographers come just in front of me, they see I take photos but they really don't care!
they make me laugh coz they think because they got THE camera (a big one with big lens) they will do the best photo. But they 're wrong. Their photos are very clear , lights are good etc but the photo has no feeling, no atmosphère, no emotion.
it's not the camera who make the photo, it's the eye.
