When we think of photography as a part time job, we are sometimes too caught up with the traditional definitions of the business. We do not need to be famous fashion photographers or take stunning panoramic shots of the Steppes to succeed. In fact, here is one area that can carve a nice niche just for you - pet photography.
In our modern, high stress world, more and more people are turning to their pets for comfort, love and companionship. While the trend is explosive in Japan, Taiwan and some European countries, the fact is, people are spending more time and money on their pets today than any other time in history.
So, if you want photography as a part time job, this could be a very simple niche to start with. At almost every street corner, you can find pet groomers. They are the recipients of many pampered animals everyday. You could have a joint venture with them, where they could sell your pet photography services to their grooming clients for a commission.
This is a perfectly targeted market, as the owners have already shown a desire to pamper their pets by sending them to a pet grooming saloon rather than just snipping and grooming themselves. They are sure to be enthusiastic about Pet Photography.
Another potential source of lucrative leads would be the vets, pet training schools and kennels. Even if the establishments were not willing to do a full joint venture, you can start by distributing flyers around those areas and maybe asking for a small space to put your flyers for their clients.
You can highly consider this niche with photography as a part time job. Put your photographic skills to work for a profit. It is easy if you try.
