Blog-O-Substance: The Gender Bias

Simple Plan Photo Pit - Vans Warped Tour 2011
A photo pit completely filled with lady photographers Photo by Rick Kern

About once a week I get questions from girls wondering how I deal with the gender bias in music photography.

In a short simple answer; I don’t, because there isn’t one.
I’m going to get an absurd amount of hate mail for what I’m about to write. I’m prepared for you females of the world to drag me into the square and roast me on a spit. But I truly 100% believe there is no gender bias in rock photography. Music photography is one of the few areas where gender in no way skews a person’s talent in a specific area. There is no glass ceiling, and dozens of women make extremely lucrative livings as photographers. In fashion photography many models feel more comfortable with a woman photographer, but in music it doesn’t matter. You wield a camera, your gender does not have anything to do with that. 
I’m a photographer, not a female photographer!
