Yes Paul, we all know you are a good shooter and you have learned to maximize your profits shooting non-exclusive.

A lot of that is pretty easy to do when the talant cost where you are located is a quarter of what it here in the states. We wont even get into studio expenses and living expenses. Most all of us would make more per set if we only had to pay a model 200.00 for a day worth of shooting.

This thread was interesting until is started sounding like a sales pitch. I shoot 100% exclusive and its NOT because I cant afford to pay for the models myself. Exclusive works for me and its a service of offer for my clients. I can shoot for 5 or 6 clients a month, work at a reasonable pace and earn a great living beside. SHooting non-exclusive means I have to maintain content, run a content store and site which adds a ton of unneeded work to my day.

Point being, most all clients in the niche I shoot for require exclusive. Non-exclusive would never work. Non-exclusive is great if you are looking for filler content and the like, but I think the days of building sites, small or large with non-exclusive are over.
