Unrelated, but needed
Great thoughts on perhaps the biggest area for me to stretch myself, and something Nicholas has been trying to help me with: Matt Brandon, FAQ: How do you photograph people? How do you approach them?
… in general, the short and sweet answer is boiled down to simply be bolder and take risks, be polite and be ready for the moment.
Well worth reading the rest of the article and the comments.

Doug Menuez in Editorial Photo:
“Show the work you want to get” …
… if you have chosen to show work other than the purist version of your creative vision then whatever jobs do come in will be based on that work.
… They are not challenging themselves creatively because they did not give themselves permission to be who they are as photographers in the first place. … But by defining what you show based on what you truly are and what you want to do, you create a self-selection process: you are not for everyone. You are different. Be courageous enough to show that you see in a way no one else does..
Holds true for anyone that creates, regardless of medium.
