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.

Some music bands do that. You do the whole tour with them and take lots of photographs.

However you need to know the few select bands who actually put a photographer on the payroll, and you need to have good contacts to make several of the photos appear on music magazine covers.

You need to be (or bring yourself) in a very unique position for this to work. Think Annie Leibowitz and Rolling Stones. "Normal" bands barely have enough money for gas and food while they tour.
