Another rewarding and well-paying niche is wildlife photography. Due to the obvious challenge of capturing good and clear images of wild animals without intruding in their natural habitats, a job in this niche requires some major upgrade in camera equipment similar to sports photography and a whole lot of safety measures.
Not everybody can be a wildlife photographer, which is why people pay a good amount of money for these types of photos. Wildlife photography typically takes place in challenging conditions, in some of the most dangerous and remote parts of the world.
