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.

We all have a favourite way of taking pictures, favourite subjects and environments that make us love photography. But still there's a lot of us who have to make a living out of this, and have to find the best way to monetize our skills.

Having said that - what would you consider (or is objectively) the most profitable niche in photography?

Gona say horse photography. You can make a fortune from that if you get really good at it.

Like at eventing? Or for breeders? Or private clients who want portraits of their horse? I photograph lots of sheep and cows on jobs but haven’t done horses

Seconding that. I work in a similar niche and make bank. The key is combining photography with another skill, interest, or hobby. I have nearly no substantial competition and have clients coming out of my ears with zero dollars spent on marketing and actively avoiding people.

Can you elaborate on the skills combining (for example..) and who are the clients, horse owners? Breeders? How much do you charge? Is this in Kentucky?
