Here in MM we are not all fortunate enough to get high paying glamour shoots in exotic locations.

Some have "normal jobs" but many also do a number of other photography jobs to pay bills and justify new equiptment. 

Real estate, Youth sports team individual and action, Web site photos for a golf biz, and family photos have all been side jobs.  Weddings are my bread and butter.

I am curious what everyone else shoots.

Cheers

Early on I went through the standard things (i.e., Product, Food, Sports, Traditional Portraiture) ... but the last 12 yrs or so have, in fact, been doing primarily agency / advertising work with models, actors & actresses, etc.

Just the way it worked out ...
