The more traditional types of photography jobs are not really suited for most seniors, as they often require lots of running around, travel plus strenuous and demanding conditions. If you have a good computer and internet, plus some decent basic photography gear, you can take advantage of the following types of photography work that are much more senior friendly.
Photo Editing
This type of work can usually be totally done from your home. It requires a fairly good computer, relevant imaging and graphic software and the knowledge and skills to properly use them. Many editing jobs are available on a freelance basis (and posted on the various online job sites), with some actually being on an employee basis. For seniors who can’t or don’t want to run around, this is a good photography job option.
Freelance Photo Jobs
If you would like to be your own boss and have the freedom to choose your work, becoming an active freelancer can be a good solution. There are many online freelance job sites (Fiver, Guru and Upwork for example) that often have all sorts of photography job opportunities. These often include photo editing, local photo shoots, photo and imaging consulting and evaluation and even photo gear reviews and photography web content writing. Of course, you can in addition market yourself to get extra work.
Commercial Photography For Small Businesses
It has become a necessity for most businesses, even small and local ones, to have an effective presence on the internet. This includes web pages, social media pages and blogs. In addition to good written content, having good photographs is also very important. This can include photos of products, store interiors and exteriors, personnel, customers and events. Businesses that publish frequent sales are a good prospect and can provide long term and frequent repeat business for you.
Real Estate Photography
This is a specialized type of commercial photography. If you have past experience in real estate, existing contacts in this field or a love of looking at homes, this can be a good choice for you. Realtors always are in need of photos, both exterior and interior, of the properties they have for sale. This type of work will require a car for local travel to these properties. If you have a good eye on how to spruce up these photos – such as proper lighting, furniture and décor placement, proper shooting angles, etc. – then you will have a big advantage.
Event Photography
If you like to mingle with people and attend events like weddings, being an event photographer could be a good bet for you. While this type of work can be fairly high paying, it is often stressful and demanding. This is particularly true because these events are ‘once in a lifetime’ and of high emotional importance to the client. You also need to have good diplomatic skills to properly get the shots you need without being too intrusive to the event and its guests. If you’re up to this and like to make a bigger “paycheck” for your work, then this type of work can be your ticket.
