Revenue streams are a lifeline- ads for the media, for example. Card companies invent Days of some sort- so far, there are only 365 of them, but in future, who knows?
Similarly, photographers need to invent new things all the time. Wedding shoots (and Baby Bump shoots) are passe, and there is too much competition for those. Pre-wedding shoots are also running out of steam, as all the bizarre locations and poses have already been exploited.
So, the new revenue for a photographer can only come from some of the following-
Honeymooning with the couple- if Kangana could do it alone (in Queen), what's wrong with a threesome?
Bungee-jumping with the jumper, skydiving with the diver.
Research-paper writing with the researcher- a photoshoot for academic types.
Agonising over homework- candid shots of a school kid.
Slapping your tantrum-throwing kids- an in-camera slap-stick! This cannot be done outside India/Asia, as it is illegal to slap a kid in some backward Western countries.
Suicide in progress- laws will have to be amended to make the photographer not guilty as an abettor.
You get the picture, right? Other ideas could be-
Doctor-patient conversations, lawyer-client meetings, first dates as a reality check, first kiss- no, let's not go there...
