Big indeed. Earnings of about £50,000 per employee.
I bet they pay them only a *tiny* fraction of that.
>But why do they still photograph people against mottled backgrounds?
Because people keep buying the photos.

£100 is good value, especially when you are getting someone's original
work rather than a "formula" school shot. Many portrait studios offer
excellent deals for photos of children.
It isn't a market I ever tackled, though. I prefer shooting adults.
