Out of focus: Photographers struggle to make ends meet in smartphone era

Gone are the days when they used to earn a decent income; now, they struggle to earn even a single rupee while positioning themselves in front of Vidhana Soudha.

Photographer Devaraj KS, a native of Kanakapura, shared his struggles, saying, "I have been in the field of photography for 30 years. Earlier, I used to earn around Rs 5,000 per day, but now it's hard to even make Rs 500 a day.

The reason is that no one is interested in keeping hard copies of photos anymore, as everyone has a smartphone. They don't even let us get close to them. Photography is our only option for survival since we are stuck in this business for long.
