I personally think "specialization" is dangerous for a photographer.  I think that's an old way of thinking.  Unless you're extremely well known you should always push your limitations, and be good at shooting a variety of things.  I am mostly inspired by fashion and creative portraiture.  I like working with people and trying to draw something out of them. I also just love the creativity of it and creating a story.

For a long time I was really concerned with what other people would think of my photos.  And let's be honest, no matter how good or bad you really are people are always going to say how great your photos are.  I try to take photos that I love. 

When shooting fashion I rely heavily on my team, I have a great group of people that I work with.  As a photographer you may have a great eye but without that team all you've got is flowers.
