Why Pitching Isn’t Working for You (And How to Fix It Fast)

Let’s get real for a second: pitching can feel brutal when you’re doing it wrong.

Sending out 100+ emails and hearing crickets in return? Yeah—that’s enough to make anyone want to give up.

So if you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I even wasting my time?”—you’re not alone. But here’s the truth:

👉 You don’t need to give up. You just need to make a few small (but powerful) changes.

Most photographers are only a few tweaks away from turning their pitching strategy into something that actually works. I know, because I teach those exact changes—and they take just minutes to implement.

Why Pitching Still Reigns Supreme

Despite the frustration, pitching remains the most effective way to market yourself as a fashion photographer—when you know how to do it properly.

It puts the power back in your hands and allows you to:

  • Get directly in front of your dream clients

  • Take back control of your career (and your calendar)

  • Stop relying on algorithms, SEO, or passive marketing

  • Finally pivot away from weddings, portraits, or any other niche you’re ready to leave behind

Pitching isn’t just an email. It’s a skill. A strategy. A lifelong asset that will generate work again and again—once you’ve mastered it.

Stop Trying to Figure It Out Alone
