#66 - Does your photography style limit you from working with clients?

My Food Lens

When we are exploring food photography as a hobby, pursuing it only for the joy of it, we create photos that speak to us, that portray our interpretation of the art.

And in that process of exploring, somewhere along the way we start creating a specific style of photos.

For some, it is minimalistic photography.

For some, they’re large compositions.

For some, it is harsh light only.

For some, they’re monochromatic colors.

We all have a different artistic expression in our photography and we take pride in creating it.

But what happens when we want to work with clients?

When we have a signature style of photography, how do we work with clients?

Does it stop us from working with clients or does it open doors to opportunities?

In this week’s podcast episode, we are talking all about the emphasis on finding our photography style and whether it helps us in building our photography business or stops us from moving forward.

I share my unpopular opinion on the idea of finding our style, when it comes to our rescue, how to use it to our advantage and when to move past it.
Working with clients and achieving their vision of photography for their brand is not easy.
I’m sure when you first took on client projects, you doubted your ability to nail their vision. You questioned whether you were skilled enough to work with clients in the first place

And even today, if a new project comes your way, it gets you a tad bit nervous esp. if the style of photography is different from what you usually create.
Our style can be our biggest strength and it can also be our weakness, depending on the situation and our business goals.
There’s no right or wrong but there’s definitely an efficient and smart way to broaden our client base while still having a signature style of photography.
Just because we have a signature style doesn’t mean we aren’t versatile. Learn what it means to have a distinct style and still be able to create in a variety of different photography styles.
