Is a photographer really a high-paying profession?

"Because the prospect of this industry is pessimistic, the photographer industry is a typical pyramid structure. Excellent commercial photographers can earn millions every year, but most of them are studio photographers, or they can't find jobs at all because the industry threshold is too low. A large number of young people are now engaged in this industry. Because of the low threshold, the competition will be fierce in the future. What kind of person can be a top photographer? I can tell you that it is useless to engage in art and work hard. I've seen too many such examples. Many successful commercial photographers in Beijing have studied photography for less than a year, and some are in their early twenties, but their works are excellent. Successful commercial photographers rely entirely on talent, which is the most important feature that distinguishes the art industry from other industries such as painting and music. There are many photographers in Beijing, 10 years, 20 years, still below average. There is no other reason, just because they are not talented enough, but please note that most people have no talent.

I don't know you, and I can't judge your talent. Even if you send me some photos, it is not enough to prove it. What I want to say is that this industry is too cruel. If you have no talent, you will pay more. . . . . "
