Abraham Lincoln is quoted to having said something like this:  “I could not sleep when I got on the hunt for an understanding, I focused until I had caught it. This was a passion with me.”

NOW, MY PONDERING!

Someone ask me “How can I teach myself to become a better photographer and have fun doing it?”

So, I studied. Passion and niche are two terms that kept cropping up. 

Author Maria Brophy says “It’s okay to photograph a lot of different things. But if you want to create photos that are applauded by others, you have to focus on just one area at a time.  When you focus in one area that you have a passion for and consistently work on it, you get better and better at it. Eventually, you become the go-to person in that area.”

These three people did that – look them up on the web:

Anne Geddes: Photographs tiny babies placed in flowers and plants.

Thomas Kinkaide: Painter of little cottages in bucolic settings.

Clark Little: Photographs the shore-break of waves in Hawaii.

Ask yourself:

What do I really feel passionate about? (People, places, things) 

What is one thing that sets my photos apart from others? (Style, theme) 

What photo project did I do in the past that I really, really enjoyed, and that easily flowed out of me and my camera?

Why was it so easy for me? (The people, medium, project, or what?) Where do I WANT to focus my time and efforts? (Not “should” but “want”) 

EXAMPLE: If you wrote that you love photographing island flowers against a uniform color background and your live on Drummond Island.  Your niche would be that of a Drummond Island flower photographer. Soon, you would be ask publish photos of Island flowers in local news papers and tourist brochures. Soon you could be the go-to person for flower photography on the Island  –  you followed your passion and found your photographic niche.

Oh well, you can see I really pondered the question: “How can I teach myself to become a better photographer and have fun doing it?”

You may want to ponder what I wrote. Then ponder the photos that Club members post here. Do you think any of them focus on a passion for a specific niche?  Do you know who most likely took the photo before you look at the name?

As you swing thru life – follow your passion and niche!
