A street photographer often earns between 2000 and 5000 Yemeni rial per evening (between 3.63 and 9.09 euro) depending on weekends and religious festivals. An awesome portrait ranges between 300 and 500 Yemeni rial (between 0.54 and 0.90 euro) depending on a customer's ability to pay in a war-ravaged country experiencing a worsening economic crisis.
