SHOOT & TOUR WITH YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST... AND GET PAID FOR IT

A proven system designed to teach you all the tips, tricks, and industry secrets to go from camera amateur to touring creative.

Hey! My name is Misha :)

I am very fortunate to shoot live music all over the world as my full time career. But it wasn't always that way.

My story starts all the way back in middle school, when I started recording video covers of myself playing piano. After highschool, I applied to film school... and got rejected. I had a deep-rooted love for music and an interest in photography so I started shooting my friend's bands when they would play small shows.

Flash forward a year and I found myself shooting my idol, Martin Garrix. Flash forward another year and I found myself travelling to shoot music. One more year found me touring with OneRepublic, shooting photo and video in Europe across the biggest stadiums I've seen.

Since then, I've had the pleasure of working with the likes of:

Today, I have the best job in the world - traveling around the world with artists and friends to capture the fleeting moments of electric euphoria that occur only at live music shows.

But lack of public information and a culture of gatekeeping made finding mentors and instruction nearly impossible

I've started MAINSTAGE ACADEMY to breakdown the barrier to information and establish a co-operative community of people within the music media industry. I truly believe that by helping each other, we in turn help ourselves and find more success.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • ​Why is it priced the way it is? 

First and foremost, I’m never going to put something out unless it’s 100% the best and most valuable it could be. Charging for the program allows me to allocate the resources I need to deliver the highest quality learning + mentorship experience.

The financial commitment also helps ensure that people complete the course, do the action steps, participate in the community, join the group and private calls, and ultimately land more and bigger show gigs. I'd much rather have less members but have them be more successful rather than having a large but uncommitted community. I want to see people succeed and make sure my energy and time goes to people that will find value in it.

Lastly, the investment isn’t as outer-worldly as it may seem - I’m very confident that if you complete the program, you will book a show even if you haven’t shot one before. Assuming the budget is at least average, you will have paid off the entire program with the FIRST show you shoot as well as saving you 4 years of grinding like I had to do. 

  • ​Do I need to have photography or videography experience? 

MAINSTAGE ACADEMY is designed to bring value to creatives of all experience levels. There are videos that walk you through which camera to pick as well as how to use it. There are also chapters for the most advanced of shooters that help you get higher-paying work and build on relationships to establish brands & empires. I am 100% confident that whatever your skill level, you will walk away from the program very happy with your investment.
