Description

You’ve been doing the thing: showing up, marketing, documenting, staying visible... and it’s finally working! Engagement is up, DMs are rolling in, and you’re even getting inquiries.

But then you open one and think… “Ugh. This brand sounds so boring.

In this episode, we’re diving into what to do when you get an inquiry from a brand that doesn’t seem exciting to photograph and how to reframe those “boring” brands into some of the most profitable, fulfilling work you’ll do.

We’re talking:

  • Why there’s no such thing as a boring brand
  • How to use storytelling and strategy to make any brand shoot interesting
  • The mindset shift from “uninspired” to “opportunity-rich”
  • Real-life examples (like dental offices!) and how to find the story within them
  • Why “boring” clients are often your most lucrative ones

By the end, you’ll see why the best brand photographers aren’t just camera pros; they’re creative directors and storytellers who can make any business shine.
