How To Become A Rockstar Photographer Podcast with Matthias Hombauer

Kevin RC Wilson is a New York based music photographer and former media and marketing professional. He also owns a tattoo studio and was the curator of an art gallery called “Sacred Gallery” for the last 7 years. In this episode, Kevin will talk about how his tattoo studio helped him to get in contact with bands such as Misfits, Jane’s Addiction and Lamb of God. Why you should never act like a fangirl/boy and how he landed his ambassador deals with companies such as Think Tank, Black Rapid and Carl Zeiss. Furthermore we’ll discuss the best marketing tips and social media platforms for concert photographers.

Going through hundreds of emails and comments, I realised that almost everyone experiences struggles in this industry. It´s hard to decide which equipment and camera settings you should use when starting out as concert photographer, it´s challenging to get Photo passes for the big shows, it´s almost impossible to shoot directly for your idols and making money as concert photographer seems to be a dream everyone is chasing but only a few photographers are able to achieve. This made me think. How valuable would it be to learn from the best and most influential music photographers on this planet? Hear their secrets, struggles, successes and crazy stories from their Rockstar life in order to help you kickstart your career as concert photographer. This was the reason why I started with my HTBARP Podcast.
