Everybody has a device that can take photos - that doesn't make them photographers. The difference between a seasoned concert photographer and a fan with a phone is quite immense.
I don't argue with the sponsor part though, however, the new world order of "sponsored" things is making me skeptical - see https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/influencers-are-faking-brand-deals/578401/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/influ...

- pmlnr 8y agoThat is a bit out of the question, and is also a matter of personal taste. Apart from the taste, making good concert/event photos is challenging, especially with modern, narrow band lighting systems (LEDs), where if there's blue light on the stage, it will only hit the blue sensors, which is usually 1/4th of the total pixels you have.
