High end means a crew or staff. Most of us do not have the experance like that. Were indpendant by nature. I think it will be hard for most indpendent photogs to become high end.

I'm not speaking to how one becomes a business. I am saying once you are a commercial photographer and you are running your own business, you have to make a choice how you will position <strong>that</strong> business. I say that in today's business climate, just about the only way to be successful is to position high. -Leslie Rich, you are confusing my point. I’m not speaking to how one becomes a business.

And how many photographers started out at the bottom of the ladder assisting. Then, after a period of time, experience and knowledge gained, built their own business, and if they had the talent, luck (do not discount that), and business acumen, rose to the top. That's still going from bottom to top, through a variety of sources. Yes, Leslie, as an employee. And how many photographers started out at the bottom of the ladder assisting.

You are a businessperson and you cave to control how your business is positioned. -Leslie @Rich

I've either been getting clients that argue with me about final invoice or get clients that have an ok budget but the work is crap. I feel like I've been on a sinking ship and now I'm making some major changes to grow to the high end. The measures are pretty drastic for some but its what I got to do right now and in the long run it will be worth it. Personally I had it with shitty commissions.
