14: Generalizing vs. Specializing - What's Better For You
Every photographer comes to a point in their career where they have to face ONE important question - should I generalize or specialize? If you have ever wondered whether you should be photographing everything that comes your way or focus on shooting a particular niche, this episode is for you! By sharing my own experience from both ends of the spectrum, I want to make it easier for YOU to be able to figure out what your passion is and what’s right for your business. In this episode, I talk about the pros and cons of both generalizing and specializing, and how to figure out your WHY.
