Btw the economics have to come in to play as well. If one photographer is willing to cut his fee to get work (because nobody is hiring him) and another guy refuses to cut his fee. Why pay the higher rate or even pay them more? I know the whole you get what you pay for. But when people are out of work that isn't necessarily true.

BTW check out the book "Drive" the author actually argues you get less the more you pay staff/contractors.

At your level going from one producer to another on pure "price" is faulty and could result in you losing members. Your level of quality is high and price has to be secondary. Also pushing people like Dean to shoot more than 2 scenes a day is likely to bring down his quality of work. Models and shooters are just not able to hit the top levels.
