How do you Value Models as an Investment?

In my opinion, I value a model's rate based on many factors, one the uniqueness of their overall look, if its easy or not to just replace them by another model with cheaper rates, the more unique their look is locally the less competitive that model will be meaning he/she can rate themselves pretty much any price if their look is highly demanded (supply and demand mentality). 

Challenge Yourself!

Challenge Yourself!

How I progressed as a photographer is I challenged myself as much as possible. Sometimes baby steps, sometimes giant steps, dependant on how comfortable I felt about the specific challenge. I took reproductive challenges, lighting challenges, both short term and long term goals/projects.
