Why Photographers Struggle to Book Brand Photography Clients—and How to Fix It


Listen on Apple Podcasts  |  Listen on Spotify

If I had a nickel for every time a photographer told me it’s harder to book brand photography clients than weddings or portraits, I’d have a lot of nickels.

And honestly? They’re not wrong. Brand clients are different. They’re usually business owners who know what they need and are actively looking for someone who specializes. They want an expert, not someone who shoots everything.

That’s why if you’re struggling to book brand sessions, it’s probably not your photos (they’re likely great), your pricing, or the algorithm. It’s your positioning. And before you roll your eyes about niching, stick with me. This goes deeper than that.

What I’m talking about today is the very specific way that trying to appeal to everyone is keeping you from booking the clients and sessions you actually want.
