Anybody whose been in this industry and have experience making money from photography, is it worth pursuing? How’s the money? would you say it’s enough to sustain financial independence and is there any hope to go further and even think of a above normal life? From a business standpoint is there any potential or is it oversaturated?

      I went back to information technology myself. I work as a contract programmer remotely and even part time I make several times more than I ever did doing photography.

      Capitalism ruined art in the US and the attitude is that if it has no commercial value it’s worthless. All the money is in science technology engineering and medical. Sad but true.

      I do photography for myself now and I love it more than ever.

        How did you end up there? Did you have a background in coding or you just decided to learn coding from scratch? If you could share that journey I’d really appreciate it.
