I can point you in the right direction if that's what you're looking for, but you'd be paying way more than 8k for that many sets



Also, there's other content we can discuss that's being offered on a more limited basis.

If you're interested send me an ICQ!

What's the point in offering exclusive photo content now? You can buy 100x more content from all the good content providers for less than a penny.

The whole thing is just plain wrong. There's no other word. This industry is fucked up. (But we already know that anyway)

Don't come crying in 2 years because selling content will be worthless if you shoot your models in USA. No one will ever want to buy no-exclusive content again at $30-$50 per set from Markham, Cloud9, Sobe, etc. You will have to sell the set 100x before making a dime. People who don't buy licences won't buy more if the set is $5, trust me. Your real clients were people that you just insulted by selling everything @ 90-95% off.

This is not good for the industry and not good for YOU, the content providers. Short term business IS crap.

Imagine if Ferrari was selling their $300k car for $30k next month.
It would be the end of Ferrari, the brand everyone respected and admired. Everything has a value, and you must respect the people who paid the right price.

Anyway, if you don't at least understand my point, I'm wasting my time.
