Here's my 2 cents.....to the original question...all the other points not withstanding.

One important factor that doesn't seem to be mentioned here is the EXCLUSIVITY OF THE TALENT/MODEL (or lack of).

These days there are more and more shooters chasing around fewer HIGH QUALITY models.

RE: Exclusive material:

I've always contended that if a producer has a new exclusive model, he has a jump on the other producers and is better set to NAME THE PRICE (to some degree) If a site/magazine REALLY likes the model and no other content provider or photographer is submitting her - they are more inclined to buy and possibly pay a premium.

This is a generalization of course but basically now everybody and their Mothers shoot content so buyers have a huge variety of sources.
