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?
These sold to magazines on 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. |
HAHAHAHA... ROTFLMAO
I'm sorry man, but this is too much funny...
My picture doesn't have energy? Shooted on cheap set?
Btw, pic which I posted is not retouched, just resized and compressed...
Don't get me wrong, but...
You sold this set -
2001 - for 1000's of dollars to some magazine?
Shooted on cheapest piece of furniture which you can find in Ikea, with $10 cassette player in background (just from your sample image I see that, plus that picture is so badly framed you have 30% of that picture empty on right side, plus it is overexposed, etc. I'm not even going to talk about shadows, or skin color, and looks of male model)...
I'm sorry, if that is what I need to achieve in order to publish I would need to give camera to my hmm, let?s say, makeup artist... On the other hand, for that amount of money, I?m willing to learn, so tomorrow, I will ask her for first lesson. I will keep you guys informed about my progress! j/k
That you said, I sold this set 20 years ago, I would say, yeah that is it... But you still shoot like 20 years ago, no difference... Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that "today's" market is very different than market 20 years ago...
