Niches that pay better

• Commercial and product

  Brands pay for studio control and licensing, not for a pretty photo.

• Architecture and real estate

  Steady, repeatable, technical. Good money per hour.

• Video as well as stills

  Most clients now want both. Photographers who shoot video book more work.

• Aerial work

  Needs a drone pilot certificate from Transport Canada for most paid flying.
