For me not really. Photography is a very saturated, so to be successful you need to have 1) a good niche or/and 2) a steady stream of clients. A lot depends on the type of photography. I do mostly travel and landscape photography, so I haven't a hope in hell at making money with it.

I've met people who left photography because they made significantly more bar tending or being a waiter.

If by “do photography full time” you mean “take early retirement”, sure. 😃

Looking to get into photography and want to splurge on my first non phone / non point and shoot camera. I’m trying to decide between the Nikon Z50 and the Canon EOS RP. I will mostly use it for landscape, and then family friends pets in casual settings. I’m hoping to find a camera I can learn on and grow into. I don’t expect lens selection to be a major factor for me as I doubt I will carry multiple lenses - probably just one at a time. Any advice?
