Of course there are many good shooters working on a good budget for good sponsors who understand the value of good content. Like Thinkx and many more.

When I talk about "Russian" photographers it's a bad term. there are good Russian shooters and I have bought from them.

I've seen work from guys in the US, UK, Germany, CZ, HU and other places which sucks. Yet most of them can direct me to a sponsor who is buying it. And it still sucks even if it's on his site.

One of the commonest problems is lack of investment. Shooting too much content on the day, models and shooters are not machines and do not create a lot of excitement much beyond a third scene in a day.

And of course lack of skills/experience. Very common mistakes that are repeated time and time again.
