Something like creative landscape photography. Sometimes I take photographs in the near infra-red using a special filter, which can make things look completely different – something about the shadows. That’s an example where knowing some physics can help you with something you might think is completely unrelated.
Only a very small number of people reliably make money from that sort of photography – mostly the money is to be made in things like wedding photography.

photography is mostly in weddings you are correct but if you got the chance to maybe do profeshional photography on like taking pictures of the planets and the moon. i think you would be highly known by the world which then could make you famous. i am pretty sure that all your pictures that you make take wont be physics related but there is a whole field in science and you could be a world wide scientist just becasue you are a scientific photographer! i guess this is just an option for you. however not many people are scientist/photographers but who knows you could be one of them!

Photography seems to be a fairly popular hobby among physicists – like physics it combines technical skill with creativity, as well as capturing something of the beauty of the world. So I am not unique in that regard.
