NO PHOTOS: Why the Monterey County Weekly Isn’t Running Professional Camera Photos from the Aerosmith Concert in Salinas – by Nic Coury – The Photo Brigade

Photographer Nic Coury decided to shoot a recent Aerosmith concert only with his iPhone in protest to the restrictive photo contract he was forced to sign in order to cover for the Monterey County Weekly.

I made several nice photos of Perry in that moment, but the Monterey County Weekly won’t be publishing them or any other concert photos of the band playing, because of a greedy contract required—and strictly enforced—by the band’s management allowing them to use any of photographer’s images however they want without compensation.
