Big difference between Arizona and Los Angeles.
The dynamic is wholly different. AZ has no agencies so the models goto photographers that constantly talk shit about each other.
I also hear a lot of AZ photographers deal Meth, Oxy and X to models which keeps them in line.
Eddie's past forces him to stay clean and legit and he has always been a clean and sober photographer. It's hard to fight meth dealing photographers if you run a clean shop.
Competing photographers talk tons of shit they say and do anything they can to keep others down. That why Agencies are important where as AZ has none. Its just the nature of the biz.
My excursion into Content Production in LA was fucked from the start, I had no idea how cut throat them fuckers were.
