Thanks everyone for the input. I don't like shooting for money because it takes the fun out of it for me. I'll do the occasional job but I'd rather go out and shoot stress free. The money is just too good to pass up sometimes.

Is there anything online that works like Google's Magic Eraser to take out background stuff from a picture?

Here's a couple I took today. It's been fun getting back into photography recently as I've been feeling kind of bored with life lately. It's making me look for new beauty in familiar environments and giving me something to nerd out on rather than just cracking jokes on here in my spare time lol.

This new 24-70 ii I picked up a couple weeks ago is no slouch either :whew:

I fully understand that photography is like 80% business, how you market yourself, and perception. But how exactly does one get to this point. $3,000 for a session that doesn’t include any photos

shyt like this is when photographers already just happened to be networked up before they ever pick up a camera. And people pay alot if you offered like makeup and a whole "experience" at a studio.
But, i've seen Peter Hurley up close doing headshot sessions at a photography conference, he don't do anything special as far as the actual shooting goes. :mjlol:

Be white.

He is a beast when it comes to business and he has a great personality, but let’s keep it 100...

Yeah, he was talking about how he got his start, and he was getting big jobs, because he knew certain people. And that was before he was experienced.

This is a travesty. Just as i was getting back into photography too. This was a great resource that will definitely be missed.
