It is hard to trust people in this biz as well as you probably already know.
Well you should reconsider those options as a photographer because shooting for people as a hired gun, isn't even close to your best option. Unless youre doing it as extra revenue

John makes very good money from this industry and doesn't lift a finger. As do basically all photographers who are partners.

And Im not sure how you handled that project involving 3 people, which is 1 person too many but it most definitely wasnt' the right way.

That attitude is very much like a model, not logical whatsoever. If you fail, what you do is you come back and actually do your homework. You do it right.

Why i say it reminds me of a models , because i face that nonstop. I have come across sooo many models who have had websites fail because they were convinced by the wrong people they could launch a website with them, by the time somebody who can make them money approaches them, they have a bitter taste in their mouth and no longer interested. So theyre giving up 3-4k a month for years because the last guy screwed them, on top of that, all their content is already out there. Just not a logical decision whatsoever
