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?

My business partner and I went into a partnership with his photography business he started that mainly focused on nightlife photography (bars, nightclubs, etc) and we branch into private functions like birthday parties, engagement parties, corporate functions. We’ve made it so we have around 4 photographers that we rotate on a weekly basis to go around 8 different venues with an hour at each take photos, edit them and deliver to us. We pay them their rate and we get paid via the businesses we take photos at. We also try and win the private function leads that I’ll either do or book one of our photographers in for it. I make sure that all our photographers get the mentoring and coaching free of charge when required but this has been a pretty cool little niche way of making passive income (I work part time in a retail job during the week) but hopefully with a bit more work being put into the business it can become more of a full time thing.
