    Sadly the building photographer role is just an intern or the planner themselves with a phone these days. Very few jobs hire actual photographers anymore.

    Source: I’m a professional photographer that finds whatever work I can.

    The closest I’ve found is a gig work thing that will pay like $20 for you to photograph billboards for an hour. Once or twice they offered like $80 to photograph a warehouse for a prospective client. Tried it a few times around the COVID era. Those years really sucked for me.

    Other than that, there’s still some real estate work out there, but only for very expensive properties.

    I mostly do weddings and events and such.

      Hehe, I have seen pictures in digital archives from museums when they documented nuclear powerplants, gasworks and other cool places, I guess I have been romantizising that… (:
