Tour Photographers

published by walter rowe on Mon, 02/22/2010 - 10:16pm

Have you worked as a tour photographer? If so I need some information from you for the revision of Jon Sievert's book Concert Photography. I am interested in the terms of contracts, who retains what rights, the financial arrangements, expense provisions, royalties from merchandise, how you came to become the photographer for tours you have worked, how you negotiated your deal, with whom you did you negotiate, anything else.

I won't ask for specific numbers from anyone's contract and I won't share any information you provide me that would identify you without your permission. I am trying to develop a general view of tour photography in today's market place, but any specifics I am permitted to share would be helpful in terms of credibility.

Send me an e-mail directly. Send me a private message through the site. Call my cell phone (202-355-4123). Reply to this message for the benefit of allI will be grateful for any information you can share with me, however you feel most comfortable sharing it.
