For my project this semester, I am choosing to build a website for my photography business. Over the past few years, I have taken engagement photos and various photos around campus for the newspaper, the entrepreneurship department, and for the marketing and communications department. Later this year, I will be taking photos for a few weddings, which I’m really excited to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for this instance, I would love to focus on sports. Ideally, I would like to work in media for professional or DI collegiate athletics. In the past, I have taken photos for men’s and women’s tennis, the football team, and the soccer team. Last summer, I had the opportunity to take photos for the Riverhounds, Pittsburgh’s professional soccer team. While the spotlight will be on sports, I’ll also have a smaller section dedicated to event photography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My audience will be team photographers scouting for entry-level photographers or team managers from different schools looking for a photographer. In order to tailor SEO to my website, I already have a list of keywords to emphasize on the various pages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples:<\/strong> sports photography, digital sports photography, action, action shot, collegiate athletics, professional, Pittsburgh, photographer, portraiture, events, media, media day, candid sports photos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I plan to select a niche within sports photography, which will most likely be football. However, this semester I will be expanding my skillset by taking photos of basketball and baseball. For now, I will focus on the sports that I’ve worked the most with. I also plan on working around Pittsburgh, so my keywords will also reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to drive traffic, I plan on creating a blog with a few posts that describe the events that I have taken photos at and what I learned from them. I did something similar for my design portfolio. I believe potential employers would like to see that the people they are hiring truly understand their craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
