The Good Gate

The Good Gate The group page is tied to our business page, The Good Gate. If your creative mind aids in creating photos or videos, than this is your home.

Midwest based photographer/modeling group, promoting creatives to network with one another in unique venues with a focus on safety & the exploration of all photographic genres

* Some events are open to underaged artists who bring a chaperone * The Good Gate Brigade is our community group page, which will help facilitate photography industry amateurs and professional alike to network, collaborat

e and create together. This is where members of our business and the members of our group cooperative, "The Brigade," can showcase their work, make posts for submissions for paid shoots, and search out other artists for TFP shoots. Known "bad actors" or other artists deemed "unsafe" or protecting those who are unsafe will NOT be allowed to attend events nor be a member of our community. The Good Gate Brigade is committed to assisting photographic industry creators, doing our part to help ensure that artists are free to create with other like-minded individuals, who are safe & professional. Our members include photographers, models, hair stylists, makeup artists, set designers, lighting directors, videographers, photo retouchers, and more. The Good Gate will "host" events a few times every year - free group meetups, premium shoot outs, events, galas and more - all of which will be put together with a focus on creating in the spaces chosen with an eye towards safety and free expression. Check our group page on Facebook for more information on upcoming shoot outs, events, meetups and more. WELCOME to The Good Gate, where you are invited to connect, create & celebrate with artistic spirit!

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT!

For this Artists Appreciation post, I want to shout out Eric Johnson.

Eric has been attending my events since before COVID, and I cannot tell you enough how honored I am to be a part of his artistic journey and exploration.

Eric is always professional, down for a laugh, and LOVES a dope egg sandwich! 🤪 But all kidding aside, Eric is a standup artist, who loves to create with new faces and those he has already created with. He continually pushes the boundaries of what he knows while balancing trying new things, and I LOVE seeing him capture images at my events and beyond.

Let's all show Eric some love today, and if you see him at a future The Good Gate event, be sure to give him some of your time to network or create!

Eric Johnson - thank you for your time, passion and commitment to bettering yourself and our community. I see you, brother!
