Depends on the event. For EPR, I have a residential spot but I dont get paid. Waiting til one of the other photographers drops, which will happen very soon. And then I'll get paid. I DO get stage and VIP access and bottle service.. So I get free drinks and stuff. But for now, I'm selling photos individually to the club itself (City Nights), not the event. I got paid 250 for Wildlife, the one at the zoo. And I have a paid gig on saturday, and full guest list privileges, which is pretty cool. I dont know how I'll be able to make it up there... but we'll see. All in all, I generally have to live with just gettin in and shooting for fun until I get a spot. But I have a blast everytime I go, it doesn't at all feel like a job to me.
