are you going to any of the UK shows for SWS and PTV? I'd love to meet you! Sadly I didn't get a chance to meet you after the ATL/YMAS concert, but I did get that mask of your face!
This was incredibly cool! So interesting to see this perspective and to hear your POV Adam! And I'm PRETTY sure I've seen your pics from this tour and they're iconic !
I'm halfway through this and loving it so far! you gave us a full ATL concert plus photography tips and commentary, a little backstage view of the show and some cool stories. Appreciated the effort man! very cool video
Stop apologizing about all the moments where you stop talking talking and about how long the video is! I enjoy these videos so much and they make me learn so much about photographing! Thank you so much!!
This is seriously my dream job! I love taking photographs at concerts but my friends get annoyed because im running around the crowed and not staying with them XD Oh well, i enjoy it :)
Im from a non english spoken country and it's pretty awesome being able too see how one.of the best music photographers works. Thanks for this Elmakias.
This is awesome to see both a full ATL concert, and your perspective and commentary. This is totally worth the hour and a half video-length. Keep up the good work Adam, so jealous of your job haha.
That was probably the quickest 1 hour and 24 minutes of my life and has just increased my ambition of being a music photographer by 100%. Thank you so much for filming/uploading this Adam!!
This is now one of the main reasons why I'll be studying photography in college. I briefly saw you that night when you were in front of the barrier, it was awesome reliving it in your point of view!!
As an amateur photographer, I really appreciate your videos! It's really amazing that you share all your advices and secrets with us because there aren't a lot of people who will, without any selfishness, help someone out! I love your work so much Adam Elmakias P.S. While running 'round the stage and taking pics, I think you don't have to worry about do people want to see you over there, because everyone should see the person who stands behind all those breathtaking shots!
Adam, I know this may sound really cheesy and whatnot but watching this and hearing about you being so passionate about what you're doing with all these bands make me realise how much you inspire me to be in the music photography scene. I've been watching your videos for a while now and you give really great insight into being a music photographer like many of us (me included) aspire to be. Sat through the whole thing, and I'm in complete awe. I look up to you so much Adam, it's crazy how much you've made me discover my true passion x
Adam thank you for taking amazing photos while respecting the crowd and our experience! Therapy especially is such an amazing experience live and it is so cool that you understand that and take that into account! Thank you for the great pictures and the great videos!!
Adam Elmakias Good lord, this is even better than the PVRIS point-of-view video! A quick portrait session is one thing, but to see how someone goes about their work for an extended period of time, reacting and adapting to various situations... that's just fantastic. The effort put into the tips and commentary really take this to the next level, too. Thank you for that. I'm sure it must've been very time-consuming but this kind of content from a seasoned professional is really invaluable to so many people who are just starting out. Excellent work, Adam, as always. Hope to catch up with you in Chicago at some point! - Priten Vora
"I'm an artist. Somtimes I just feel it, sometimes I don't." Haha It's really cool that you did this and it makes me so excited to see them in 14 days!!
This is actually awesome. Really cool to watch plus great that it was All Time Low. Would actually love to see another full one ! Commentary was also entertaining.
I know putting this together probably takes a lot of time but you should do this more often. I really like seeing you run all over the place and the process you go through to take such awesome pictures. Keep up the awesomeness. Love it.
Adam I've been to over 100 shows and to see it from this perspective is insane! I went to this tour in Cardiff and it was amazing! Appreciate the effort that you put in man, you are wonderful! x
Dude, first off, kudos to you for thinking of doing this! This is so informative and really gives a good view as to what kind of goes on behind the scenes during a show. You're a fantastic photographer and very, very humble, which is awesome, too. Thanks for the inside look, Adam!
I think the biggest thing I learned from this video is that you're literally such a sweetheart. I mean, I knew you were nice before, but all the little things you worry about, it makes me happy to be a fan. Sometimes people you're really big fans of aren't that great of people(like in there soul?), and it hurts me when I realize that. But I don't have that with you. I can honestly feel amazing about supporting you and loving your work, because hell, you're an amazing person. Also, I realized why I love your photos so much. You care how they turn out and how they showcase the subject, which I really admire. I always claim that I can tell an AE picture of All Time Low when I see it, and that's probably why. It's always the best of the best. (It's 11:20 PM and I just spent like 2 hours watching this video because I had to take feelz breaks and I'm totally rambling. Sorry.) Thanks for this experience. Love from Wisconsin
I'm a photographer whose favorite band is All Time Low, so this video is like crack to me. You live my fantasy, Adam, and I so greatly respect you. Also, you're a such cutie. "They use potty words."
You are my idol/inspiration. I want to be a music photographer SO BAD. I'm working on it, and these videos made me so much more excited for my life. Thank you for being you.
i just watched this documentary called no cameras allowed it’s on mtv and i really think anyone reading this would like it it's really good it's about a guy who snuck into music festivals and because of it became this famous photographer he also got invited on the road to tour with one of his favorite bands ( i’ll let you watch and find out for yourself haha )
This is kind of the best thing ever. Seeing how your job works (as a kid who wants to be a photographer when she grows up) is awesome, just how open you are and how you say that even though there are periods of time in which you don't do anything but you still love it! It's really encouraging, thanks Adam:)
I can't believe I sat here for 1hr 20min very coool! I also loved when you did this for soundwave or maybe it was warped tour, you had your drone in the clip but anyways very cool
I really enjoyed this Adam, i usually cannot sit through something this long, but i never skipped a second! Loved hearing how you shoot, the techniques all through you actually showing us! Thanks for the amazing content!
ADAM THIS IS AMAZING! I was at this concert and this makes me so happy watching it back! It was me and my friends that won the meet and greet and we are sad that you didn't come to see us but we understand :) I LOVE YOU
I loved this! I had to watch the second half after I had work and I just found it really interesting and didn't want to stop watching. Thanks for filming it and editing for us :)
Wow this is a fucking awesome behind the scenes mate, really unique perspective of a band that i've never experienced before. so glad i clicked to watch and thank you for taking the time to share! i have friends who do event photography but i can hardly imagine what it feels like to shoot fucking concerts. so rad, much respect
people don't realize how talented professional photographers are. you are one of the best music photographers out there, in my opinion. also are you going to be on The Future Hearts tour or at the show in Baltimore on April 3rd? I want to meet you so badly!!
i actually loved this so much! getting to see what goes into a show i was also at is so cool. (plus i totally spotted my lil green head in the crowd a few times, which was equal amounts of cool)
This is so rad! I love photography and I've been looking into trying to start shooting for smaller local bands and seeing the whole thing at such a huge show is awesome. The down time isn't a bother cause you get to see everything that goes on, plus your dialogue is hilarious. Makes me miss my All Time Low show. Thanks so much for this!
I'm not even a photographer or really into taking pictures but this made me want to start! Very inspiring and awesome to see what you do and how masterfully you do it. I actually watched the whole thing. Great job adam!
crazy how much goes into each show, really good shots :) this was really really helpful for me to see a big show like this from that point of view, just a dream for me just to be there one day
This was really cool to watch and your shots were amazing, as always. Also, hearing the way you talk about how much you love photography and your job was really refreshing. I'm working on my own photography business (not doing strictly concerts though I'd absolutely love to one day) and sometimes I get overwhelmed and stop enjoying what I do, and I get in this weird rut. You've reminded me why I started photography in the first place, and how much I love it.
Loved this so much! Thank you for taking the time to make this. I learned a lot from one of my favorite photographers while being serenaded by one of my favorite bands! Thanks, Adam!
It's really cool to see the process you go through to get the photos that I fucking love. The Adam view of a show is really cool and also just the way you treat the band is like the kind of respectful that I aspire to be in my every day life. Like, good on ya, dude. So rad.
This is so cool! Really loved watching how you get the pictures you do, and also see how the stage and band looks from so many different spots in the arena. It was really interesting, and I'm not even a photographer!
i have watched the whole thing and loved it because its showing what goes into the photographs and everything you know of the set and i love that you have explained alot c:
I remember Tom came out with you into the queue just before doors opened and filmed us for the DVD and that was pretty cool Also this is really cool, good job, thanks for this
love this video! Im wanting to begin music photography as a side gig/hobby while i study Live sound and lighting tech at uni. so interesting to see all the different parts of live music industry, how they work together and what my hobby could become. THANKS ADAM!
I watched the whole of this video and I loved it, so nice to get an insight of what it's like for you. If you did more videos like this I would defo watch them.
gosh I have goosebumps from the 'Wendy run away with me' moment where to whole crowd sang. And thank you for showing us what your job is like, it's pretty interesting. And I have a lot of respect for you doing this all the time.
Haha this was so nice to watch! Specially because we Couldn't get to Manchester to come and see Alex on this tour so this makes up!! Huge fan of your work Adam!
This is an awesome video! I was at this gig so the memories were great, and I was only a few people from the front and I only saw you when you came on stage to take the photo they posed for with the crowd so you did a fantastic job. Hopefully I'll get a chance to say hi to you at a gig one day :D Keep doing what you do!
This is awesome!! Doubt I'll be able to watch it all in one sitting (only 10 mind in atm) but this is incredibly interesting. Massive ATL fan as well so it's great to see their set again (I was at the Birmingham show). Will definitely recommend this to some of my photography friends - thanks Adam!!
Adam! You are such an inspiration!! You are absolutley amazing at what you do and such a great character! i wish i could do what you do!!! and thank you so much for letting us see just how epic you and are and how you do it :)
Really enjoyed this video. I've always been curious what goes on behind the stage, and such. It's pretty cool that some of your great friends are my idols. Anyways, thanks for making this! Really rad.
Hey guys i hope you enjoy! Put a lot of time into this and had to watch myself shoot for 90 minutes... twice... so give me a thumbs up if you like it!
are you gonna be with ATL for the future hearts tour?
are you going to any of the UK shows for SWS and PTV? I'd love to meet you! Sadly I didn't get a chance to meet you after the ATL/YMAS concert, but I did get that mask of your face!
This was incredibly cool! So interesting to see this perspective and to hear your POV Adam! And I'm PRETTY sure I've seen your pics from this tour and they're iconic !
***** email bands management if you can shoot whatever band you wanna shoot live
no problem!
I'm halfway through this and loving it so far! you gave us a full ATL concert plus photography tips and commentary, a little backstage view of the show and some cool stories. Appreciated the effort man! very cool video
thanks Conny!
indeed!
watched the entire thing and enjoyed it. feeling super educated.
thanks Catie!
Even in high school, being behind the scenes of a concert or a production is so sick. Can't imagine what this is like
I literally watched the whole thing, and I loved every second of it. It really gives us an insight to what it's like to be a Music Photographer.
:) thats awesome, thank you !
Job goals:
1. band member
2. Adam Emlakias
3. Bryanstars
Stop apologizing about all the moments where you stop talking talking and about how long the video is! I enjoy these videos so much and they make me learn so much about photographing! Thank you so much!!
"I'm an artist...so sometimes I feel It and sometimes I don't" - Adam during Therapy
If I'm honest I came here for ATL but I found the video extremely interesting, and the commentary made the video 100x better.
This is seriously my dream job! I love taking photographs at concerts but my friends get annoyed because im running around the crowed and not staying with them XD Oh well, i enjoy it :)
I love ATL and I love photography so this is great!
i don't know anything about photography no do i care about it, but i sat here for over an hour watching it and loving every second
Im from a non english spoken country and it's pretty awesome being able too see how one.of the best music photographers works. Thanks for this Elmakias.
This is awesome to see both a full ATL concert, and your perspective and commentary. This is totally worth the hour and a half video-length. Keep up the good work Adam, so jealous of your job haha.

I absolutely love watching these.
this gets me so hyped to see them live
I enjoyed every minute of this. I love seeing other photographers' way of shooting.
Honestly didn't think I'd watch all of this but I did and it went by so fast! I loved it!
Adam, I know this may sound really cheesy and whatnot but watching this and hearing about you being so passionate about what you're doing with all these bands make me realise how much you inspire me to be in the music photography scene.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together Adam, haven't even finished it yet and I'm learning loads of cool stuff!
i was at this show and just sat here and watched the whole of this too

This is actually awesome. Really cool to watch plus great that it was All Time Low. Would actually love to see another full one ! Commentary was also entertaining.
