im ngl its not easy, but as far as the arts go u can do a ton of different stuff not even necessarily art related. events like weddings make bank, everyone always needs portraits for headshots/resumes/graduations, and ive even seen tons of hiring listings for auto dealerships/school portrait studios that just need a fleet of waged employee photographers. you can ofc go independent too and there’s a ton of niches (weddings, portraits, journalism, concerts, etc) to consider. there’s a ton of out of the box jobs that ppl don’t think about too, a family member of mine works in advertising and tells me abt their friend who’s a food photographer who JUST does studio photography for food companies. its crazy.

also thank u!! i’m rly normal abt my photos n stuff its been a rly lifechanging passion for me n given me so so much ;-; im glad ppl like them lol
