Your Passion

would you like to know how to decide what area of photography to focus your career on.


Everyone is really spot on when they encourage you to find your passion. What excites you the most? What are your strengths as a photographer? What aspect do you find yourself avoiding? Are you comfortable and good with people? Do you enjoy complex, detailed shoots, or do like more flexible open situations? These questions should help you get to the internal aspects (self awareness) of your selection. Obviously, you need to explore the external aspects - what is out there that catches your attention and allows you to express yourself in the way that you want? Test the various options so you can experience them and not just decide based upon what you think something will be like.

Everyone has a career path that typically is filled with exploration. As you explore, pay attention to what excites you the most. Do you have a natural talent for something? Watch for opportunities to meet other photographers, and continue to ask questions.
