Is It Easier Than Ever to Stand Out Amongst the Competition in Photography? with Mike Nuchereno

The Photographer Mindset

In this episode, we dive into the inspiring journey of Mike Nuchereno (@nuch10), who expanded from a dedicated wildlife photographer into the lead photographer and videographer for the renowned band Goose. We explore how Mike expertly leverages his Instagram page, initially focused on wildlife, as a powerful portfolio to secure diverse gigs beyond his original genre. His story exemplifies the importance of being proactive in business acquisition, being the aggressor rather than waiting for opportunities to come. Mike's extraordinary work ethic serves as a wake-up call for listeners, highlighting the competitive nature of today's photographers. However, Mike is on the far side of the bell curve and we discuss how it's easier than ever to stand out, as many avoid giving their all. The episode underscores the metaphor of walking through doors, opening up new opportunities with relentless effort and quality work.
Expect to learn:
-how to use instagram as a tool as opposed to a measure of success
-how to utilize your current portfolio to expand into other genres
-why you need to be aggressive rather than waiting to be discovered
-who your competition is in the commercial photography industry
-how to constantly be evolving and how to be open to change in your craft
