A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I find that i cannot decide on a niche i wanna focus on for my business and i ended up with doing events and portrait photography the issue is my website is very broad when it comes to what i shoot for example id put under community events Festivals, Charity Functions, Local markets etc. and i feel like that could easily be exploited but at the same i just cant decide on one single thing to specialise in and all the youtubers ive watched emphasize the importance of having one single niche to focus on im 17 and did photogrpahy since 12 but took like a 3 year break in between and i feel like i havent shot enough in every nnche

My friend... first of all: grammar and formatting. That was a mess to read and if you're starting a business website, that really matters.

Now in terms of niches... firstly at 17 you are (with respect) young as hell and have plenty of time to go wherever you want with whatever you want. Seriously.

In terms of advertising any services, it does help to show that you do specialise. It helps reassure customers.

Don't make would-be wedding couples sift through your sick shots of music festivals. Don't make events companies look through your portraits. Try and compartmentalise so that if you have multiple offerings, you can direct customers to any one of them and they can read up about that.

That way - even if you have no niche right now - you're showing you can effectively deliver on multiple niches.
