What Kind of Photographer Are You?

One fantastic thing about photography is the sheer amount of genres you can specialize in and all the different ways you can approach it. In order to find success, it is crucial that you not only understand who you are as a photographer but also how that should influence your work with clients. This great video discusses the various types of photographers and how you can move forward in your career. 

Coming to you from Daniel Norton Photographer, this excellent video discusses the different sorts of photographers and the importance of learning to categorize yourself to move forward. In general, the public has a different understanding of what professional photographers do than we do, often thinking that a photographer can shoot anything equally proficiently. Understanding exactly where you fit in can make it easier for you to align yourself with your professional goals and to create specific, achievable goals to improve your professional standing, and it is important to establish this early on in your career before you make too many decisions. It also enables you to more easily manage client wishes and create reasonable expectations that ensure better interactions. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Norton.
