Locations, misc expenses come into play as well which ad up real fast. If we stop paying the models $2,000 per shoot then maybe it will not be so damn hard to be able to produce content at a reasonable price for smaller programs.

I would not see the problem as models. As with the Paul Markham shoot, the Model took only a few hundred dollars and PM took $2500. What value did he add to the shoot compared to the model?
Models are the most important element and yet have the least power and wealth.
If a photographer wants to get paid good money he should show the ability to add value in making good unique different exciting pictures.
