Does A Photographer Need To Specialize? f/43 - a podcast by Scott Davenport

Every few months or so, the question “Do I need to specialize?” makes the rounds in the photo industry. Back in Episode #24 of this podcast, I talked about the artistic benefits of cross-training. It’s time to talk about the opposite side of that coin - specialization.

I do believe there are benefits to specialization - and benefits that can advance our craft. They are:

• Building a business brand
• Concentration on a singular subject will produce stronger photos
• Gaining a deeper, more intimate connection with a subject and its surrounding community or ecosystem
• Access to more unique subjects, which feed more unique photos
• Self-reflection

Join me in today’s podcast for a chat about specialization. You can also listen to Episode #24 The Creative Benefits Of Cross-Training. Specialization isn’t the only route to improving your art.
