Photography may be how you make money but photography is not your job.
Your job as a professional photographer is to make the world know you exist. Well okay, maybe not the entire world but at least your little corner of it.
Your job is to attract attention and get people to trust you. People only do business with someone they know or trust.
Your job is to help customers achieve what their goals. Retail customers usually want the photographer to create good memories for them but not necessarily accurate memories. Business and corporate customers want the photographer to help their company get favourable attention.
Your job is to understand the customer and offer better solutions.
Some jobs are difficult. Thank goodness photography isn’t one of them. :-)
