This was SO helpful. Seriously... I have been struggling with the decision to niche down or not. The cocktail bar vs sports bar example was spot on. Thank you!

Great stuff. Trying to make my portfolio on my website and I guess I shouldn’t put the variety of stuff I can photograph… touch choice here.

Hi Chris, I’m just starting out as a photographer in NYC. What niche do you recommend for a large city like mine to be the most profitable ? I would appreciate some guidance - thank you !

Couldn't understand the part where you were targeting food and something, maybe, "bev" plus what came after that. Could you put that in the comments? The lack of clarity creates a negative impression of your cred.

It would REALLY help if you spoke more slowly and more clearly. It's very difficult to understand half of what you're saying, which I'm sure is relevant just based on the perception that you've reached some level of success. I'm not trying to be smartass; just trying to help.
