The Photographer Mindset

Are Photographers Gatekeeping or Rightfully Guarding Their Hard-Earned Success?


Listen Later

This episode dives into the controversial topic of gatekeeping in the photography community, unpacking both sides of the debate on sharing knowledge versus earning it through experience. We explore the role of mentorship, the importance of building meaningful connections, and the true value of learning through experimentation and persistence. With personal anecdotes and actionable advice, this conversation aims to inspire photographers and creatives to find balance between seeking guidance and crafting their own unique path.

Expect to Learn:

  • The difference between mentorship and expecting handouts or blue prints.
  • Why personal trial and error will always provide the most professional growth.
  • Why you should build a relationship before asking for help or guidance.
  • How to be helpful while still protecting your hard-earned knowledge.
  • Why nothing will ever do more for you than patience, persistence, and effort.
