I hear you and I agree that there can be a lot of gatekeeping behaviour, across photography sectors.
It likely stems from a scarcity mindset, where we think helping someone out directly will hinder our own success. There’s not enough pie!
I’m a big believer in the opposite: that if we all support each other and generate a collective buzz, people start to value us more and there is even more work to go around. There’s pie for everyone!
Anyway, I’ve got experience with concert photography and will be happy to share.
