Let’s be real—gatekeeping sucks. It shuts people out, creates elitist spaces, and makes creatives feel like they have to prove themselves just to belong. In this episode, I talk about how that mentality holds photographers back, and why this club was built to be the exact opposite of that.

If you’ve ever felt like the photo world wasn’t made for you, this one’s for you. Let’s tear the gate down and keep building something better.
