I lost my appetite for photography
between my camera malfunctioning and regular life stress, I haven't been doing it much. my boy asked me for a photoshoot and I was looking lost. I need to get back into this to relieve stress

If you're trying to work with companies, brands and agencies, being connected with the producers, art buyers and creative directors etc in your area is the route to take. The ones with these titles help put together the projects or campaigns by finding the talent or content creators that can get the job done.

With the portfolio of work and the retouching skillset you've developed, you should target those kind of contacts IMO. A lot of their info is available via LinkedIn and online of course.

I 2nd this, you've perfected your style bruh @8WON6

Anyone dabble with volume school photography? Like with sports teams and school events?

The amount of money is that is RIDICULOUS.

Think about it, lets say you shoot a school dance and offer print package the cheapest being $25 for a couple prints and a couple digitals. Let's say you have 150 people buy prints or buy digitals.

150 x $25 = 3,750, you slide the PTA 15% or something so that's like $550, slide your assistant $250 for 2 hours of work that's $3k you walk with then subtract the cost of prints, I have a Canon Pro 10 that spits out high quality but you can use a lab and probably walk away minus the cost of printing with $2300 roughly for minimal work. Do that for a few different school events for a couple schools...

Then there's sports teams...the profit margin there is even larger.
