Shooting your own stuff for yourself is not cheap (as you know), and then he would need to know how to edit, or hire editors (more money), market his sites, or hire designers/marketers (more money), etc.

Much easier to just shoot for someone else, and more profitable too, as the profit is solid, not speculative over time.
I would never let anybody else edit my stuff. That's 99% of the creativity, every frame I shoot works from the end result that I already have in my mind in it's completely edited form.

But you're right. If Jay's head is 100% in shooter mode then he would have to have a partner. I'm just thinking of the fact that he could be making high 6 figures and up with his own site instead of shooting for companies who are making all that money for themselves off of his work.
