New week, new @applepodcasts Episode! Today I’m going over finding a niche vs generalizing - should you focus on one type of production work or do it all??? - Not only that but if you’re just starting out I think it’s 💯 fine to do any and all work coming your way to build your network and portfolio. As time moves on and you start to identify the type of work you like and also the ones you’re able to charge your full rates for that helps bring the whole niche debate even closer for you. - LINK IM BIO FAM! 👊 #directorofphotography #cinematographers #filmmakinglife #realtalk #podcastshow
