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?

Start shooting for local businesses. Get a few under your belt, even for free, then start reaching out to local ad agencies with those images. Find who the creative decision makers are at brands and agencies and tell them how you can help them solve a problem. Keep up that cycle of shoot and share and continuously level up the people you’re sharing to. Work hard on the photography and harder on the marketing of it. And keep going. It takes a while to get the ball rolling, but if you know how to handle a camera already you’re at least part of the way there.
