Scott Chouciño - Nail Your Niche

Scott Chouciño is a food and advertising photographer based in Leicester, England. Our conversation covers the importance of niching, working with a photogrphpy agent, the inner workings of an advertising shoot as well as touching on some of Scott’s side hustles, his fantastic YouTube channel as well as his workshops and mentoring. 

I really like Scott’s whole attitude and the clarity of his approach to his work. He brought SO much to this episode and if you’re interested in what it takes to be a top-level advertising photographer in today’s market, you’ll take loads away from this episode.
