[QUOTE="J-see, post: 373436, member: 31330"] I fear the public doesn't care. Their stuff looks good enough on their phone or facebook and that's all they want. Sure for weddings many still hire a professional but weddings are in decline for half a century or more. I'm living close to the city hall and see people getting married maybe once every three weeks, during the good months of the year. The other major source of income for photographers was print media. That's heavily in decline since quite some years here. Less readers, less advertisers, less income. Less photos needed. And in cutting costs, there's an increase in them buying cheaper stock photos. Every amateur can take a decent shot these days, if lucky even good ones. Those are sold much cheaper than what a pro would cost. Even selling gear doesn't bring much. You can't risk having too much stock since prices can drop fast and severe and a good part of the population buys their stuff online. It isn't looking good and it won't be improving unless something drastic changes. [/QUOTE]
