Relatively speaking, which is more profitable, commercial photography, sports photography or news photography? What are the specific key areas?

Commercial photography generally refers to professional studio photography.

Sports, news, advertising photography and commercial photography are not in the same category.

As far as making money is concerned, the income of commercial photography and self-employed photo studios in the county is about 65,438+10,000 yuan in a good year, but the work is complicated, the technology is simple and repetitive, and other businesses such as wedding arrangement and wedding photography have to be undertaken.

News photography: if you are a media practitioner, you can't make money. Photography is the work itself, with only basic salary and bonus. The specific income depends on what media you are engaged in. Pay is linked to performance. If sports photography works for a certain media, the situation is similar. Income is relatively fixed, with little fluctuation.

Professional photographer or freelance photographer: working alone and increasing income by selling pictures is very unstable. Unless you are famous, you will be subject to many restrictions in the subject matter and shooting field. In the era of flooding pictures, an excellent but expensive picture may not be adopted by editors.

Therefore, if you are skilled and know how to operate, engaging in commercial photography is the most profitable. If you have good social connections, it's not bad to call the media and be a freelance photographer.
