Solid. These young B&H sharers do a great job and they are likable - they are a very good face for the company! A thought: if your heart calls you to photograph people but you're shy and courteous and considerate by nature and don't know where to get started, think about photographing people doing things: sports, work, crafts, art, teaching, dance, music, acting, on and on endlessly. Second: advocate for others (including clients). Third: never take a negative picture of a person. Show their best qualities, they represent their truest reality. All ways to get outside your own skin. You'll find it a hundred times more happy and fulfilling than "getting photos for me." (Age 83, 57 very happy years in photography.)
I live in a market area where niching down is not a viable option (there aren't many photographers and customers are all over the place as to their needs). Ive been a working photographer for about 40 years and being versatile in every possible niche ang genre has become my hallmark. I shoot two things: the first are things I like to shoot, and the second is the things that make me money.
Lovely video. Quite informative besides it was a music to my ears to listen to (Matt Matkin) the stylish British accent and British English which in my opinion is the only true, pure English 🙂

Categorizing the things you like vs the things that pay the bills is a good strategy, thanks for sharing.
Appreciated this!! ❤ 📸
Please advise a beginner to digital photography who is interested in a street/portrait style photos, but monochrome, day and night.
My biggest suggestion would be not to be afraid to cold call or sell yourself to people, as echoed near the end of this video.
The hardest skill to learn for a lot of people but arguably what will take you the furthest.

What if I fail? What if I take pictures for someone and they hate them? That's the scary thing.
I think you just did.
for some reason the guy in glasses gives me no confidence at all, I think he was an iPhone photographer for 5 years (since he got his first iPhone)
Newbies!
