A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is there a market for personal travel photgraphers? (alien.top)

I'm thinking of some business routes I can take with my photography. I've heard of travel photographers for wedding elopements, so I was thinking about maybe I could market as a personal photographer for influencers of whatever? I would appreciate any thoughts even if you think this is a bound to fail idea.

If Kim Kardashian wants professional photos of herself on her Greek holiday, I am sure her PA has a guy to call to fly out there. Or they will find a local photographer.

For video, eg Best Damn Food Review, they have a full video crew they bring with the host and a dozen people in back office editing.

Others, eh Nate Kara, are making BANK. But they still film everything themselves and have someone else edit.

I can't think of an equivalent example for stills work. But again, I would expect it would be a full time job permanently attached to the organization. Not a two week job you can pick up between a few different clients.
