When I was in photography school my teacher told me, “The only way you’re ever going to comfortably make money is if you become a wedding photographer.” This was something I heard constantly when I was learning photography—that wedding photographers were the only ones who didn’t struggle—and that my pipe dream of becoming a fashion photographer was just that… a dream… not realistic. I just remember thinking… HOW is that possible?  There are TONS of different niches ... wedding photography can’t be the ONLY one that’s profitable, right? The good news is, I was right. Over the years, I’ve discovered that there are SO MANY major money making photography niches! The trick is finding the right one that speaks to you, lights you up, and helps you share your story. In today’s podcast episode I am sharing: The Top 16 Money Making Photography Niches If you’ve ever wondered if photography was right for you, I hope you’ll listen to today’s episode. And when you do, pay close attention. Listen to each of the niches I describe and ask yourself, “Does this idea make me excited?” “Do I want to explore this more?” “Would I be happy doing this for the rest of my life?” And when the answer is yes, listen closely to your heart and let it guide you. Please check out the amazing work by our Alumni from The Photographer's Path who share their insight into each of these niches in today's episode!
