Check out Renee Creager O'Bren. She's a coworker of mine, and has some work in NY MoMA's pemanent collection,among other places. She also did her doctorial thesis on pinhole, which resulted in a commercially available treatise of some 600 pages. To be honest,I haven't read it - pinhole's not my thing. But she's an excellent teacher, so I can only assume it's extremely informative. I also know she was shooting a lot of weddings around that time, so I wouldn't be surprised if she talks a little about the potential commercial uses.

Good luck!

Some of my portfolio is pinhole.

Don't know of any "professionals" as it were, but there are some artists making decent livings shooting pinhole. Justin Quinnell comes to mind. Check the forum at f295.org - a ton of stuff there!

Interesting question, I'd assume that most people making money from their pinhole photography are artists rather than commercial or wedding photographers.
