If you can get around do wedding photography and if you have a good personality and can get along people you can make good money i'm 73 still making around 25,000.00 to 30,000.00 a year and also get the picture in a week and the albums to them in 2 weeks.

You want easy?
1.)Get a telephoto Lens; document cheating spouses, sell to cheater for moderate price, and then to victim for more.

REALLY?!?! will this actually work??
Do you have experience in this genre that you could be a mentor?
Is there a directory for these cheaters so I can easily find my subjects easily?
If I happen to be on that list......, do I have to charge myself for my own services?
Are there any late night infomercials I can watch...., on what channel ?
This is exciting, Jim, please send more info.
Can this be done with a Nikon...., or will I need a REAL camera, like a Canon!!!

Very gratefully yours......, SS

I have to agree with donwitz.start with weddings at about $100.00 an hour.I've see photographers charge in access of $1,200 for a wedding shoot.a friend of the family had paid a pro about $2,400 to shoot her wedding.I shot the wedding from the sidelines and every chance he got ,the pro kept trying to block my shots.by the end of the wedding our friend was mad at me for getting in the pros way.I gave her mom a cd of all my pics which she loved.2 weeks later our friend hot her pic from the pro

2 weeks later our friend got her pics from the pro and called her mom to get my pics cause hers were too dark and out of focas and I am no pro.just someone who loves taking pics.

The OP asked if there was an easy way to sell his photographs. He's been shooting for 51 years which would make him considerably older than that. You're suggesting he tries to start a new business as a wedding photographer. I doubt that would fit his definition of "easy".

There is nothing easy about starting a wedding business and keeping it going. In fact, it is very difficult at any age. You ability in sales and marketing is at least as important as your ability as a photographer.

I been taken weddings for years, when I was younger I had a business we would shoot about 5 two 10 weddings a week and I made over 100,000. a year clear.
I still worked 52 h a week as a tool and die maker we never advertise it was all word of mouth that's when I lived in ohio ,we had more work than could handle, had to turn some down know I live in florida .Doing wedding in florida is different for some reason.THIS IS NO BULL.

I bet you can get a hell of a lot of weddings where a lot of couples can't afford to pay an expensive photographer $2,000 or $3,000, but can pay you $200 or $300 all day long and I can bet you that those pictures you could probably take them with one hand tied behind your back and they would probably look just fine.
