Welcome to the modern world where airspace needs protecting, dating profile photographs need taking and lonely people need cuddling. It's the home of bizarre jobs brought about by a myriad of 21st century by-products. Nick Baker meets the people behind some of the Britain's most niche jobs, gets inside the role, scopes out what it says about our world today and assesses whether it's time for a career change. Episode 2: Online Dating Photographer Nick turns his lens on a niche role which was borne of the online dating industry - estimated to be worth £225 million next year. He'll stand on both sides of the camera as he gets to grip with a service which claims it won't be niche for long. Producer: Leeanne Coyle A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
