Going back in the (portrait) photography business, still worth it ?

Hello everyone! After some years spent in a totally different business I would like to start again doing photography (events, portraits etc). I'm almost finished with my art accademy (I'm studing oil painting) and now I can start using my gear properly as my secondary job.

I worked mostly as a portrait (and street, but this is another story) photographer (outside the studio) and for a couple of years in collaboration with a circus I've done theater photography (as you can see in the last 3 shots).
The problems is: I live in northen Italy in a small city and I have to start almost from zero again and I do not want to shot marriages!
I know that being picky is not a great idea, I've done 7-8 marriages in the past but they are really esaustive...I asked a company how much I would get payed as a secondary photographer and they told me 150 euro for 2k images (o_O).

And, from what you can see how much should I charge ? Here the market prices are really really low and some people asked me to work 6-8 hours (from evening till midnight!!) for 50 euro.
Usually I ask 150/200 euro for a set that can be around 2-3 hours (or less, if I'm happy with the results). Do you think is ok or I should start to charge more and move around ?

Should I just quit and do it as a hobby or you see potential in my works ?

I know that in the smartphone era and AI my question will sound dumb...but thanks to anyone that will spare some time for my post!

Hello everyone! I was looking my street shots and wondered in wich place I did a better job in street photography.
The first 10 are from variuos places in Italy, the last 10 are mainly from the City (2015-2017).
Personally I think overall my London shots are better but I would like your opinion about it!

The pictures are taken with a Fuji X100T and XT-4 with a Viltrox 56mm 1.4 !
