Intro to Tour Photography - with Shannon McCollum

In this deep-dive session, Shannon breaks down the reality of life on the road with artists like John Legend, Outkast, and George Lopez. He explains why tour photography is not just about having a great camera, but about your character, your work ethic, and your ability to be a Swiss Army knife for your clients. You will learn the importance of green room etiquette, how to build a portfolio that stands out, and why being early is the only way to be on time. Shannon is joined by his son, artist Lil Yachty, who provides a unique perspective from the other side of the lens. Together, they discuss the evolution of the craft, the transition from film to digital, and how to maintain longevity in a fast-paced industry. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, these insights on professional networking and creative discipline are essential for your growth.
