Should You or Should You Not Niche as a Photographer?

The Photographer Mindset

In this episode, we dive into the debate over whether photographers should "niche down" or embrace a broader approach. We explore the potential pitfalls of being overly niche, including the risks to your creative freedom and how it might inadvertently cost you business if your diverse skills go unnoticed. We talk about how to naturally transition your portfolio to a more expansive aesthetic, making it appealing for both you and your audience. Plus, we discuss the importance of reconnecting with your authentic photography passions by capturing and sharing the real moments in your life. We challenge you to post something totally different than what you normally do but in a way that makes sense with the overall theme of your grid.
Expect to learn:
-balance between specialization and creative freedom
-how you could be losing business by niching down
-how to transition to a broader aesthetic without confusing your audience
-the importance of showcasing a diverse skill set
-why you should share genuine moments of your life
