TORONTO – Even with the popularity of selfie sticks, some travellers are still yearning to come home with good old-fashioned photos not captured on a smartphone — and they’re willing to pay for them.

He settled on Kelly Paulson of Wild Whim Design & Photography, whose work he discovered on Instagram.
