AN INITIATIVE SPOTLIGHTING MUSIC AND CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHERS
Media Pass is a photojournalism publication, biennial exhibition and artist development program that aims to amplify music and concert photographers.
Founded in 2022 and curated by Imani Dominique, Our Biennial Exhibition brings together emerging and established concert photographers. Together, the exhibition explores concert photography as an archival and community-based method for preserving cultural history.
Our Emerging Artist Program aims to reduce barriers to access for artists who are interested in entering the music, tour, and concert photography space by supplying them with professional development programs, industry mentorship, and media passes to local performances.
Front Row, our print and digital photojournalism-based publication, was created as a way for emerging and established music photographers to publish their work outside of traditional journalism settings.
