Today’s guest is New York-based music photographer Todd Owyoung.
I was looking forward to interviewing Todd for a long time. His homepage www.ishootshows.com was the first resource I found online when I started with concert photography about 10 years ago.
I met Todd in Brooklyn when I was touring with Shantel in 2014 and we spent an awesome night talking about our passion, dreams and the music photography business.
During our last chat, a lot has changed for both of us. Todd became a Nikon Ambassador, he recorded his concert photography course on Creative Live and switched to the mirrorless system. These are enough reasons why I wanted to have him on my Podcast show.
In this Episode, You’ll learn
- Why it is important to work with passion
- How the community helps your success as a music photographer
- Why it is important to have a professional looking portfolio (website)
Todds’ Favourites
- Best Camera For Photography: Nikon Z7
- Best Lens For Concert Photography: Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8
