[QUOTE="panos_adgr, post: 5042, member: 12"] Such a nice topic! Such a pity I didn't check in earlier.... Well in my country there is still room for photographers and they make good money. Wedding photography costs only for photo shooting and getting the files with basic edit about 1000-1500€. There are cases of photographers who charge the least 750-800€ but with no receipt and not with proper professionalism. A moderate charge is 1500€ and above. A complete work with a printed album, video, and drone shots can reach to 3000 - 3500 and even more depending on the client request. There also a lot of part time photographers who shoot in nightclubs they print and sell the photo on the spot with 5€ at least per printed photo. Christening photography is also popular but charged a bit less. There is also room for object or food photography. Now about the stock sites. It needs a looooot of research before you start and a looot of effort with time. Stock sites such us Shutterstock or Alamy are not for fine art... It is more for just simple images that could be used for commercial reasons. Picfair, Smugmug, pic-time and Behance are the places where you can set up a proper personal gallery to promote and sell your work with prices that you can set and good margins. But you need to have a good social media amount of followers to promote it and start selling.... As we say, we are not discovering America in our age, so to stand out a lot of effort is needed with high quality work, very well selected, and if it is conceptual and innovative at some level at least, it will help to stand out in a world oversaturated of photographers who are also very good!
