How do I go about this? I have my own website with a section of it devoted to the shows that I have shot, but those shows have been at my cousins venue in NYC.
The websites of venues I want to go to and photograph bands don't have any sort of contact page or submission process defined on their website for press passes. Have any of you shot at Toad's place in New Haven CT, or Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford CT? or the Iron Horse Auditorium in North Hampton Mass??
Should I just call the venue and ask what the venue's managers email is?
Help /p/

most of the time you'll need to contact the bands manager. They're the ones in charge of photo passes.

you're either gonna request the band's touring manager or the venue's press coordinator
after a little googling, toad's place is fairly small so it shouldn't be hard while oakdale is pretty big. iron horse seems in the middle. not sure what artists you're trying to shoot but that plays a big part
bigger bands couldn't give less of a fuck about you or your photos. they're touring for weeks and the same photos are gonna be snapped over and over again
the people who truly care about those repeat boring photos are local publications and that's usually your safest bet
i dunno man just wing it. email everybody. call everybody. take photos. sneak your camera in. play dumb.
