This week we welcome Paris Visone, an amazing Music Photographer and solid friend. Paris has created her career out of working with artists - not for them. Which I think is an important distinction to make. When you tour with someone, your work as a photographer is a reflection of your relationship with that artist. Arguably even more important - that artist’s relationship with you. Paris has been touring for over 10 years and during those years has created some very unique work with artists such as Limp Bizkit, New Found Glory, & Godsmack. It was great to catch up with her, a pleasure to learn from her - and I hope, as always - you enjoy this conversation as much as I do.

In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn:

• How Paris was able to tour with Limp Bizkit, New Found Glory, and Godsmack
• Why working one on one with an artist brings out the best content
• How to be a paid touring music photographer
• About being boxed into a certain genre of music
