C'mon ppl, use the names or I will start to think that those stories are from experience, not from observing... j/k
I shoot only custom/exclusive. I don't make my prices regarding to prices of other shooters, I make my prices regarding to my expenses. I can't say am I "cheap" or "expensive", but I'm sure that my content is "niiiceee"...
Still, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm actually bad shooter...
Paul, Please can you Bcc those numbers to me as well ;)
And something "off topic"... When I see sometimes how ugly chicks some of shooters post here with comments like "Hot next-door model ? (name goes here)", or something similar and 100's of ass licking comments (Wow, Yeah, I would hit that whole day, etc) in those threads, I'm thinking that this board needs some serious "Fake nick" purgatory (yes, I know, no names, lol)...
OK, I'm off to shoot, see ya' later guys!

Of course there are always two sides to a debate and in this one there are many more.
But the truth is non exclusive would make the shooters a lot more money than exclusive if non exclusive is saturated as they claim.
As for selling to magazines well I doubt if you can, it's a tough field and the rejection rate is 90%. Reasons to reject your set if the rest were like that would be as follows, to plain for standard, the setting is not good enough, thew girl is not teen to fit that market either, not enough energy for amateur, the guy on the left has a belly and spots, the curtains and cushion are screaming Eastern Europe.
You would also have to shoot it on film as most of the majors still only accept film, can you light for film?

Slightly different market to selling on the Internet. Not saying you're not a bad shooter just that you need to do things differently to get the magazines business.
But if you want their business buy a magazine, shoot some sets similar to what they publish and the telephone numbers are in the magazines. They will speak to you, but you have to have something to submit to them.
I price according to the sets value, not according to my costs.
