Can you take a photo and make 4 tenth of a penny per photo? On top of that, you have have to buy your own equipment, track the celebrities yourself, go there, pay for your own gas,…
To make a living at it, you will need to make at least 500,000 photos per year! That's 2 Canon 1DMk3 per year + the lenses or a little bit cheaper 2 Nikon D3. You can't even use cheaper cameras, the shutter would only last 3 month.
