Photography

Anybody whose been in this industry and have experience making money from photography, is it worth pursuing?

It can be, but it's likely you'll enjoy it whole lot less if you're counting on it (by itself) to pay bills. If you don't like marketing and sales, I'd forget it, because honestly that's more than 50 percent of the gig.

How's the money?

This depends on the market you're in and what you're shooting (and for whom). Money can be good, or it can be a race to the bottom depending on what you're shooting. I'd say do some research and find out who and what you DONT want to compete with, unless you're satisfied with being a bottom dweller. If you associate yourself with hacks and lowballers you will be categorized as one.

​

would you say it's enough to sustain financial independence and is there any hope to go further and even think of a above normal life?

Financial independence is a nebulous term depends on factors that make this question impossible to answer. "Above normal" - if by that you mean more money then possibly, but nobody knows what your "normal" looks like.

From a business standpoint is there any potential or is it oversaturated?

Potential, sure, there always is. Potential will not keep your lights on however.

Oversaturated? Definitely, for better or worse.
