I feel for both sides of the equation because I buy content for SpookyCash, but, as a freelancer, I've also shot for Playboy, Penthouse, AVN, Hustler, etc.
Having the freelance dough be so negligible that it is barely gravy on even back catalog is frustrating. Especially factoring in how much used to be on the table.
As a buyer,I understand that some budgets are not enough for someone to set up a new shoot, but I am always surprised by people who feel like it is too much work to pull something from back catalog or the shooters who agree to a budget (with all details worked out) and do the shoot but are so proud of the one image they got formatted but are too lazy to batch post-process a whole set.
The worst are the photogs who want me to give them a professional portfolio critique for a week and then they decide that they do not want to make the deal they agreed to because they are actually going to do their own site. (Zero of those guys have ended up with successful membership sites.)
