Photography & Marketing ... Are they similar?

What better way to start my blog, than with this topic.. As a photography enthusiast I have realized how similar both the fields are..   



A window to the soul!



Here are just a few of them. Add on to this if you believe these two fields have any similarities.

• In both the fields you cannot do without creativity and imagination
• There is always a message we are trying to communicate
• But and here is the catch.. when we get really creative the message is left to the interpretation of the end user
• The dark room and print media is passé. Its now the digital age with photoshop & digital marketing
• Budget is most often a constraint in both cases
• If you don’t have a photo blog or a company FB page/blog, you are not in with the trend
