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

Anyone, YouTuber or otherwise, that says that the photographer must specialize in one specific niche is an idiot. I mean that's like saying that in order to be a good mechanic you have to only work on one brand of car. I mean just like in that case, specializing in one narrow area might make you a little bit better at all of the subtle nuances involved in that area, but it's not like having that knowledge mean that you can't also have knowledge in other areas.
