I assume you know that you're going to get teamed up on, I'm glad someone is willing to swim against the current but I can't agree with you here. If you and your band don't want to pay a professional photographer $200 for a promo shoot, then don't pay a professional photographer $200 for a professional promo shoot. Why shouldn't people charge what they can make for doing something they're good at? And don't give me this malarkey about the band being a bunch of innocent, ignorant kids who are getting ripped off. Isn't that what you (their manager) is for? Concerning your band's press photo, I can't say that it is worth more than literally nothing. There are many many ways to get good PR and promoshots are one of them. I'm not saying you won't be successful with such a promo(snap)shot, but you certainly aren't grabbing anyone's attention with it. If your personal opinion that a creative, professionally done set of high res images is not worth it to you, then that's your opinion and don't buy it (what Thoogsby said) and be done with it. But I'm not surprised you're getting opposing opinions when you're telling people that they're charging too much for something that other bands are willing to pay. It is just simple economics (as far as my memory of the one class I took several years ago says).

Hey I bet the bands you shoot can relate to your dilemma.

Okay, maybe the photos I got on Saturday weren't that bad after all.

Looks good. A few notes, you missed the quotes on the song "Shake Your Dandelion". Also, the last paragraph isn't finished...?

Do they make hot shoe AF assists, no flash? I'd love a small laser AF assist attachment which wasn't huge like an on-camera flash.
