Have you ever wanted to get into concert photography? Today on the Build and Bloom Photography Podcast I have Madison Truscan on and she is sharing the exact steps for breaking into the industry. Madison has photographed artists in concert like Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan. Madison is also going to share how to work for an online magazine, publication, newspaper or zine and how volunteering for a publication can add an extra layer of professionalism that increases your chance of attending a show.

Madison Truscan is a multi-faceted Dallas-based creative, with a focus on concert photography, music journalism, and podcast hosting. She is wholeheartedly passionate about all forms of photography and being authentic on the Internet.
