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.

Photography as a career viable? (alien.top)

Anybody whose been in this industry and have experience making money from photography, is it worth pursuing? How's the money? 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? From a business standpoint is there any potential or is it oversaturated?

I know a photographer, who runs courses on how to take photos, he also sells images from a gallery. It's always funny when some of his trainees start their own business, and copy his pictures/locations/marketing strategies and become competition. Hilarious as he always feels like he's a victim and blocks them on social media and tries to talk shit about them behind their backs. Like dude you showed them how to do it.

So yes, you can, but it's more about business skills.

And you won't love photography anymore.
