A niche I think you could target is mock-ups and non-existent human models. For example, I had a print on demand store and wanted to easily put my clothing on influencer types of models for my Instagram but this was impossible without hiring an influencer and doing photo shoots.

Product mock-ups would also be a great niche for Etsy sellers who want to easily create a more nuanced context for their niche lifestyle photos than the generic stuff that’s out there on PlaceIT.

TLDR: niche down to solve a problem for a specific business.

Starting a business will excite you and give you hope again. But you have to choose one with high demand and I’m sorry but photography is too generic and over saturated.

You may have other expertise that could be leveraged to start a coaching or consulting business where you utilize your photography skills to enhance it. What is your current profession?
