How did you know photography was right for you as a career?
I bought my first camera during my second year of college (2020) but never actually intended to become a photographer. I just purchased it to have the right tools for my class (comms major).
During that time, my sister asked me to take some photos for her business social media and thats where my real journey started.
But, i never looked at photography as a serious career path even tho people seem to like my work. Ive shot concerts, sports, dentists, baby showers, christenings, portraits, government events/headshots and even a civil wedding and all of this with just a canon rp and a 50 mm 1.8. People keep asking me for more sessions. Family and friends consider me a photographer. Co workers from the government agency i work for have asked me for family shoots or portraits sessions.
However i dont know if its imposter syndrome or im just insecure but i dont see myself as a photographer. Ive always strived for something like head of comms for a company or a pr agency owner idk something more ambitious. But should i just channel this ambition towards a photography business? I mean i get more work from referrals and word of mouth than from me doing any marketing but i see too many people say they failed with their photography business so that kind of pushes me away.
