Episode 2 - “The Niche Crisis: Pick a Lane, Bestie”

Still hoarding every photo you’ve ever taken in one chaotic Google Drive folder? Been there.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to build a portfolio that doesn’t just look good, it books you clients.

Heather shares how her early work looked like a Tumblr collage gone rogue, and Fortme confesses to making a 47-page PDF that screamed “I shoot everything and nothing at the same time.”

Plot Twist: I just made that up, it never happened but what we do talk about in this episode is...

• Why your portfolio should work for you, not confuse people.

• How to curate your best, most bookable work with model calls.
  
• What to stop putting in your portfolio immediately.

And yes, we’re still calling out our past selves, lovingly.

Whether you’re just starting or doing a portfolio glow-up, this episode is your sign to finally make your work speak for itself (in an honest way).

In this Pilot podcast episode, Heather Broomhall and Fortme share their insights on starting a photography business, emphasizing the importance of intentional purchases, learning the craft, and building a supportive community. They discuss common pitfalls for beginners, such as overspending on gear and workshops, and provide practical advice for aspiring photographers.
