Back in June, we reported on the outrage caused by a leak of the contract handed out to photographers looking to shoot a Taylor Swift performance.

Among the pop superstar’s stipulations was the relinquishing of ownership of the images taken and the right to destroy a snapper’s equipment if the contract is voided.

Naturally, photographers weren’t chuffed about the whole not getting paid and having their cameras destroyed thing, and many rallied with the photogs in calling out Swift over her alleged hypocrisy.

It makes sense. After all, ask any concert photographer and they’ll tell you it’s not an easy life, and it’s even harder if you’re trying to make your living off of it.

However, while most concert photographers are friendly and skilled individuals just trying to do their jobs, there’s a few bad apples out there that are ruining it for the rest of us.

Just ask the curators of Assholes In The Photo Pit, a popular Tumblr blog dedicated to exposing the bad and frankly irritating practices of these bad apples.

As the good ones are out there documenting unforgettable moments from concerts and festivals, the Assholes In The Pit are standing right in front of the singer brandishing an iPad.
