Although there are other ways for people to bring in high-quality DSLR cameras, only a few people per show will be given a press or photo pass.
With new phones coming out each year, there are plenty of options when it comes to mobile cameras. And it seems as if every year the cameras on our phones get better and better. These days, there are features on our phones that are helpful when you want to take pictures in low-light settings like most concerts are. If you bought a phone within the last few years, you may have a camera that has the capability to lock the exposure settings. Usually, when someone takes a photo at a concert on their phone, the stage is too overexposed to really see anything.
Not only can the cameras on your phone take better, higher resolution pictures than ever before, but there are also countless options for editing the photos you take. There are so many free photo editing apps, anyone can take pictures that are worth posting on social media. Although they may not be the best quality pictures, they would absolutely be good enough to prove you were there.
I understand that people want to remember the moment of going to see their favorite band or artist, however, is it necessary to watch the whole thing through a screen? Do you feel that recording the whole performance ruins the way you remember it and even cheapens the experience of physically going to a concert? I believe that a concert will always be better if you are fully present in the moment.
I think it is an amazing thing to be able to capture an artist with a mind-blowing photograph. But, I believe that there is a reason that even people with press passes are sometimes limited to photographing only the first few songs. As an artist, it must feel like your music is being underappreciated if all people care about is taking a photo of their face. It is important to take the pictures that you feel are crucial in order to remember the memories of that day.
I have been to many concerts in my lifetime. The moments that I remember the most were the ones where I felt the energy in the room around me and took the moment to feel connected to everyone in the room through music.
Everyone in the room is singing along to your favorite songs and thanking the artists for creating it. Those moments can be cheapened by a phone, or a camera held directly in front of your face the whole time. Edit this Article. We use cookies to make wikiHow great.

Related Articles. Author Info Last Updated: May 6, Examine your camera. Is it your average point-and-shoot pocket camera? If so, there's a chance it will be allowed inside.
Check before taking measures to sneak it in. Check its size. Most cameras now are going for a thin feel and look, and this works to your advantage. Fatter cameras are generally not as tall; use the dimensions to help you feel out places it can go. Find a place to put your camera. It can be in a pocket, purse, concealed in clothing or strapped to your body. Here are a few methods. Use your camera's strap or strap from somewhere else to sling it over your shoulder.
Secure it so it hangs right in the pit of your back where it curves in before your buttocks. Put your sweatshirt on over it. If the guards ask you to remove your sweatshirt, lift the front up a bit to show them that you can't, as you have nothing on underneath. Take your purse or the purse of a female accompanying you, if you are male. Either cut out the lining on the bottom, or find material like it and cut a piece that fits. Lift it and place your camera in the bottom. Fill the remaining space with soft material, both to protect your camera and solidify the bottom again.
Replace the lining. Throw some tampons on top. Most bouncers will not dig around very thoroughly. If your camera is small enough, strap it with some tape or a strap to your underarm. Be warned, if you are going to an establishment with a gun threat, you are likely to be frisked and this is easily found through touch.
Similar to the underarm technique, wear baggy pants and strap it to your inner thigh, very close to your private area. There's a very good chance you won't be searched thoroughly here. If you are a female, wear a mid-length fluffy skirt. Not only will you not be touched there, a skirt looks open enough to allay suspicion, though it conceals very well.
You can also unbutton your pants, hang your camera from your button, and then re-button your pants. Then simply slip the camera down into your pants and let it hang.
It may be uncomfortable,but holds your camera securely and you don't have to worry about it being found, even if you're frisked. Keep your wallet in a large pocket and if frisked, when they ask what's in your pocket, immediately say its just your wallet. If you do this you should get in fine. If you're using a professional grade camera with a lens, this may work for you. You'll need a friend.
Take your camera, a separate body you won't be shooting with, and two lenses. Have your friend conceal one lens well and one lens very conspicuously, so that it will be found with a simple search. Do the same with your two camera bodies. Have your friend go first. When the lens is found, have them give it up obligingly and apologize to you, where you will step up, possibly curse or look abashed, and hand over your dummy camera body.
These will be tagged for pickup after the show, and it is unlikely they will search you for a second camera. The same can be done with small pocket cameras.
