Build Your Portfolio with Spec Work

If you’re a photographer who wants to shoot for a certain type of client but either 1. Don’t have experience in the niche. Or 2. Don’t have enough content for your portfolio You need to do this! Start shooting spec work: AKA fake commercials or content for the type of work you want to be doing in the future. If you are a wedding photographer, stage a fake elopement. If you are a product photographer, start shooting products you already have or love. Or in my case as a resort photographer, I often shoot content of hotels in areas I’m traveling to to flesh out the portfolio. In this case I was shooting for my wife’s brand, but because we may be working with brands in the future it’s never a bad thing to have on hand. With just 27 days left till launch there’s still a ton to do! Follow along to watch the journey!
