I would of agreed with you about the girls you meet in the biz. Until I met Eva, got lucky there. Very lucky.

The shame is there are some excellent shooters going to waste while people buy content at a price that simply is not good enough.

www.dave-wells.co.uk a friend from the old days.
People buy content for different purposes and in all different ranges.
Providers only having one range or price level are the ones that have a great name but drive a shitty car and can hardly afford a dinner out.

And if you have good loyal clients that trust you quality matters way less, what does matter though is that they know you will deliver and deliver on time every time....something that takes years to master.
No cheap shooter will EVER take that client from you

This goes for exclusive / non exclusive / semi exclusive

One example would be that through the resession we have more than doubled our business, i suspect that a big part of the reason is that people dont fuck around with their cash anymore....they want to know that when they pay for goods they will arrive.
