Good evening (or good morning!) the past few year I've been distracted with LIFE. And it has taken me away from what I truly love. PHOTOGRAPHY. Yes I shoot often but I want to make a living from what I love to do Fitness and/or editorial. I'm finally trying to use this awesome site seeing I'm paying for it! LOL From my peers I want your critique! I don't care whether you are blunt or opinionated. I AM HONESTLY LOOKING FOR OTHERS OUTLOOK. Thanks    -Del

Bottom line, will any of your models pay you fro your photography?
if so, charge them.
If not, will anybody else pay you? They don't have to be models or look any particular way, just want to have photos made and will pay you.

If not, you might be marketing poorly or there is no market. That is for you to figure out. Up here, the paid photographers shoot weddings, senior portraits and executives. At a lower level they shoot real estate and used cars.

So, you have a homework assignment. Based on the results you may wish to relocate.

Or, just do photography as a hobby.
