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.

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.

It's a tough area to get into, as others have pointed out.

A friend of a friend was very successful wedding photographer, as in costing thousands for wedding shoot.

She had a price list on her website. At the bottom she had the "Dream" package. $20K + all travel expenses. ie: She was dreaming anyone would go for it.

You had her 24/7 for a week, coverage of every pre-wedding event, wedding prep, the wedding, the reception, and any post reception events.

She sold one in her career. But was under such a NDA, she couldn't even talk about where she went or show any the pictures, let alone who the couple was.
