An appetite for adventure - Photographer and Videographer Steve Zavitz
When Steve started out, he had dreams of building a name for himself as an action sports photographer. But with little money to be made in his sport of choice, he soon turned to the food industry and began shooting for restaurants instead. These days, he has a portfolio of work spanning both niches and he picks up marketing and design work on the side.

Show Notes
Steve began learning his craft in 2008 and took it professional in 2011. His ambition, back then, was to build a name for himself as an action sports photographer in the world of Parkour (freerunning).
Depsite knowing there wouldn’t be much money in it, Steve gave it a go anyway.
And he invested his time into a second niche, too. Calling on his background and contacts within the food industry, he began shooting for restaurants and then built his portfolio as a food photographer from there.
He explains how he presents the two sides of his work online in a way that appeals to both types of client. He also talks about finding work, figuring out what to charge and trying to move on from Instagram and YouTube.
