No Gatekeeper is an initiative set up with a founding principle that art should be accessible to anybody no matter the circumstance. We set up online sessions for 5-10 people and they get the chance to ask professionals from across the music industry whatever question they wanted to know about working as a full-time photographer and more specifically a music photographer.
These sessions were then recorded to be uploaded to various platforms so that the answers to these questions could be heard by the largest possible crowd for zero cost. The sessions will usually have Jordan Curtis Hughes as the host with a guest speaking and helping to answer the questions.
All advice given is from the photographer's personal experience of the industry, do not take it as straight fact. Some people's experiences differ extremely widely in this field. Use the advice how you see fit. Enjoy!
