Obviously I know at least one client you have done a shit ton of work for in the past who clearly qualifies as above average financial status. How many times has that client asked you to lower your rate or piggyback shoots? Never? So why not only look for the same caliber of clients?

As I mentioned before, because of this thread I have picked up another client. That new client offered a budget slightly higher than my average clients pay.

Anyway, I appreciate the compliment but based on your experience level, the location you have to shoot in, and the models you have at your disposal...There is no reason you can't turn out the same or better product than what I do.
