When I was senior photographer at studio 612 we where doing 35 shots per photographer a day on the first walmart website. That included retouching. You can imagine how good that looked. I think graphics systems bought them as well. All light phase and hassie. 6MP. 8 years ealier at Dick Voyels as an assistant it was shoes on an 11x14 deardorff. That was actually pretty fun for an 18 year old that was studing chemical engineering. A year of that I switched my major. when I realized people would pay me to do this.
The shooters at the sun will mostly be replaced by AP AND Reuters. The phone training is more for stories not covered by other news agencies. Those stories will look amazing I'm sure.

As with all things as the price of admission comes down so does the amount you can charge.
My studio got some of that work - we shot housewares on 8x10 for weeks or sometimes months. It was the most boring precision work of my life.art for cars: panowraps.com
