In this episode, we’ll discuss the pressure to niche and what happens when we let that pressure shape our creative voice too soon. So many photographers feel torn between what sells and what feels true, but sometimes the real challenge is in allowing yourself to explore without a label. I share thoughts on how your style and subject matter can evolve naturally when you stop trying to fit into a box and start paying attention to what genuinely lights you up. This conversation is an invitation to trust the season you’re in and remember that your work doesn’t need to be one thing to be meaningful.
I also share lessons I’ve learned from shooting across different genres and how you can define your photography truths to stay aligned with your visual voice.
