Is Photography and or Videography a good Business “Vehicle” to get onto the Fastlane? Is there a way to make it a good vehicle for the Fastlane?

I’m still unclear if it is. They’re skills that I’ve acquired over time. I’ve worked in IT and done side jobs in photography and video. Which is the best “vehicle” that puts me on the Fastlane?

If you are talking about straight up using those skills than the only way I can see this personally is if you start an agency for wedding photography and you hire the photographers per job. Otherwise time / reward is too tightly coupled.

If your creative there may be other ways or they can be used as part of something else that is fastlane.

Yes, video is probably the best skill to have, every business needs marketing videos

If you can create good ad videos for clients and manage the social media and ad accounts for them you can build a really good income with almost no investment, just time and skill

You can then use these skills and cash to launch your own fastlane business

Be cautious of becoming the brand or basing it off your personal skillset. The difficulty here is you're still trading time for money, even if you charge a ton. Unless it's something you can easily train others on to repeat the flow of business, it's not worth it in the long run but good as a side-income as you grow a scalable Fastlane business. Best to do as Mitch says and leverage these skills towards a Fastlane business by creating your own valuable photo/video content.
