What is TourPhotographer.com?
TourPhotographer.com works directly with bands to offer high-quality concert photos to fans
during a tour. Unlike other pictures you might find online, our photos are all 100% legal and
approved by the band and their management.
Why should I buy photos from TourPhotographer.com?
Our photographers travel on the road with the band and have the best access to make great
pictures on stage and behind the scenes. The limited number of press photographers who cover
the shows are usually restricted to shooting the first few songs from only one position. Our
photographer has an all-access pass and is able to shoot the entire show from different
locations to get unique angles and capture key moments that you won't see anywhere else.
Sometimes we shoot from the stage looking out at the audience and you might see yourself in the
crowd!
In addition, our photos are the ONLY legal, authorized photos for sale from the tour that
are approved by the artist. If you find photos available on sites like ebay, they are probably
breaking the law and also hurting the musicians by selling unlicensed merchandise.
Are these "real" photographic prints?
Yes! Your pictures are printed on genuine Fujicolor Crystal Archive photographic paper and
are rated to last for generations. We use a premium lustre finish for a look and feel that has
the color richness and "pop" of glossy paper but acts like matte since it doesn't pick up
fingerprints too easily.
Will my print look exactly like it does on the site?
Each image is individually prepared for the highest quality photographic reproduction. The
print may look lighter or darker since every monitor is calibrated differently. Every photo has
a white border with the band's name or logo along with the date and location of the show
printed at the bottom.
When will I see the pictures from my show?
All of our photos are approved by the artist before they go online. We usually have the
photos online within three days after the show. If it's going to take a bit longer, you'll see
the show listed in the drop-down menu on the right side of the page with the words COMING
SOON.
Did you cover the show in my city?
We're not always able to cover every single show on a tour. If you don't see the images
online within five days (and it's not listed as COMING SOON in the drop-down menu on the right
side of the page), then we probably didn't cover it.
When will I receive my photos?
It takes two or three days for your pictures to be printed. Your order is shipped on the
next business day after printing from our lab in the United States. Please note that there is
no shipping on Saturday or Sunday and orders processed on those days will go out on Monday.
Shipping time is based on the option you select at checkout.
Do you ship to countries outside of the United States?
Absolutely. All international shipments are sent via US Postal Service Global Priority Mail.
They are packaged so that they should get through customs without any problems, but if you
haven't received your order within 15 business days after shipping, please contact us. Make sure to
include your order number so we can resolve the situation immediately.
What if my order hasn't arrived or my photos were damaged in shipping?
While shipping problems are rare, we do occasionally hear of a postal employee who likes to
try and stuff our heavy cardboard packaging into a tiny mail slot. If you are not completely
satisfied with your order, please contact us. Make sure to
include your order number so we can correct the situation immediately.
Who is behind this site?
TourPhotographer.com was founded by award-winning photographer David Bergman. In addition to his work with
bands on tour, David's images have appeared in many major publications including Sports
Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, People, Time, and The New York Times. Feel free to view his portfolio and see a behind-the-scenes video about his work with Bon
Jovi.
What happened to the Bon Jovi photos from the last tour?
Most of the images were removed to make way for the new tour, but you can see some of our
favorites in the "Best of
2010-2011" gallery.
Do you have any other bands' photos available for sale?
We've also worked with Barenaked Ladies, Hanson, Vertical Horizon, and Pat McGee. Those
images are not on the site for now, but you can contact us if you're looking
for something specific.
How do I find out about upcoming shows, discounts, and contests?
You can join us on facebook and
follow us on twitter.
