This thread really got a lot more pages than I thought it would lol... it's turned from a request for content into a battle of the Producers ! And I feel partially responsible for that
Aint caught up with all thats been posted, but on the last two posts... This whole suggestion of piggy backing on a shoot. Personally I just dont agree with it... Why should client A pay 80% of the costs so client B can get it for cheap ?
What if client A and B ever meet or talk... "oh I see you got some of model A off Steve, what did you pay for exclusive... oh you paid $150... I paid $600 !" wow thats a conversation that can only end bad lol !
As I said at the start "why belittle your product" dont get me wrong in this climate we all have to be competative, I for one do negotiate with models... but there is negotiating and then there is taking the mick...
I guess the bottom line is if the producer wants to accept such a low rate then thats down to them, does it make them desperate maybe, but thats there call... does it effect the industry almost definetly... but there isnt a governing body to set prices... so good luck to them
