Photography, although necessary, is a dying profession kept alive by hobbiests.
Stock imaging, high level fashion and ((le)) famous arteest are some of the last few areas where you can be relatively rich.
The money to be made is in commercial work as a protog for hire, cinematographer and general video expert because shooting/editing video is still difficult.
Narrative doesn't pay unless you get at least 300 a day as a camera operator.
Side jobs like art photog doesn't pay unless you're already famous. Even then, nobody pays for prints these days unless your work is exhibited as one time prints. Again, you need to be well known.
Being a photog is like any other contractor profession. Its difficult and work isn't steady. Large corporations are usually in need of trick photographers and cinematographers, but that's all internal connections if you can get one.
Tldr, its a shit industry that's only going to get worse.
