Photography publication in Joomla
This page outlines the process of photography publication in Joomla.
Requests
Concert requests are given on a first come-first serve basis. When a concert is requested, the first step is to add it to the Google Doc: Photography Assignment Calendar [1]
- Requests are ordered by Date - Photographer - Venue - Band
Confirmation Documentation
- Shows in Purple Font = Request sent to Publicist, Venue, Ed, Etc.
- Shows in Red Font = 2nd Follow Up Attempt
- Shows in Bold Font = Request Confirmed (Guest list +1 and Photography Pass)
Loop back with the photographer to verify their request and whether or not the assignment is theirs. Then remember to also contact the photographer when the show is confirmed, include the e-mail from the publicist or venue so that they can print it out and take it with them to the venue as a back-up.
Venues/Contact Send requests for all shows 2-3 weeks before the show for all venues, with the exception of the following (and you will more than likely have to follow up within a week of the show):
- The Fox: Angie Hawf - Send request ASAP. Tickets go fast and are very limited.
- The Peabody: Publicist - Same as above
- Live Nation Shows: Amy Moorehouse - Amy will accept requests at any point after the press release is issued but again, you will need to follow up as the show approaches
- The Pageant: Publicist - Up to a month in advance of the show, follow up 1-2 weeks prior
For an example request for Publicists/Venues see the Google Doc: [2]
Venues/Contact Cont.
- The Firebird, Blueberry Hill, 2720 Cherokee, Cicero's, Luminary Center for the Arts - Ed Vigil
- Blueberry Hill - Does not typically require a photography pass. If Ed can not get tickets, contact the Publicist

- Off Broadway - Unless the photographer is new, his/her name is on a permanent list at Off Broadway. They must introduce themselves at the door as "Hi. My Name is ___________.
