Shooting for myself and shooting for high end clients is a huge difference, for myself, its just about quantity and profit, so you can over analyze my natasha content all you wish. That promo set wasn't apart of my portfolio I sent either. If you read the next line, I mentioned how thats the quality I shoot for a solo girl site which as i stated above, is a niche in no need of good photography

When selecting images for promotional purposes on a solo site, you select all that are even slightly usable, and for promo, you select the photos where she looks the best in. If I made that promotional set for met-art, it would NOT be the same images. And many of the images would not even have made the cut because of poor composition, etc

And as far as joining met and looking at their content, I have a members pass for promotion, I have been an affiliate of theirs for 10 years or so. I have alot of traffic in that niche.

Met has already confirmed my content looks like the content they are already working with. Or I wouldn't be claiming that I will be shooting for them this year.

And you say that set doesn't look like any of met-art's content? Thats because alot of their content is dry and without color and the same photographers who shoot with classic furniture, doesn't mean they aren't looking for the same quality with a more modern look. John Emslie's content looks very similar IMO

And about having an eye opening experience after I start interacting with the members, I welcome it. Theres always room for improvement and considering I have been a photographer since October, I hardly think where I am at now is my limit. So if they think my content is the same quality they are currently working with, I believe I should surpass that as I gain more experience. I will be shooting for a met-art photog while down in phoenix for the phoenix forum also
