This is the real truth, opportunity cost exists. For every second doing boring commercial photography you could have been photographing trains or naked women instead. Plus also working a full time job paying more than commercial photography.
Once you realise this, this guy is basically just fucking up wasting years in a low paying job when could be climbing the corporate ladder, also his job boxes him into only being allowed to shoot boring photos.

That's true, but people forget that somebody from the "higher levels of society" face different challenges. This is an extreme example, but a starving kid in Africa who just wants food and water (which is of course a much worse problem), will never know what it feels like to having to deliver shit for a company for a deadline so you don't get fired and can come home and feed your kids while your wife is nagging you threatening divorce. And if you are a nepo kid but you're actually genuinely talented then you'll face a lifetime of people talking shit about you etc.
Yeah some people benefit from having wealthy parents and just get shit handed to them, but it's just become a popular thing to hate more recently. But everybody would do that to their kids if they had the means. It would be important to also teach them the value of what they're getting so they don't squander it or take it for granted, but fucking hell. There's not a parent in the world who wouldn't love to be able to offer their kids stuff like that.

Yes and no. I think the other anon makes a good point about if a nepo is too defensive or doesn't admit to it vs just straight up owning it. As far as photography is concerned, I'd say that it's a smaller part nepo and more about being privileged/from a rich enough background that you can afford to just be a basic bitch and not worry about if it'll keep the lights on. The stuff in the OP is extremely basic commercial work that would pay like ass and would need to be propped up by his family.

And I know because I was in different areas for commercial and it pays like ass across the board. It's a sad line of work to be in since people know it's a dream job to people and there will be 1,000 others that can instantly replace you. The only truly enjoyable paid photography work I've found is stuff like conventions or work you find yourself, where every job is in your control and you can stop working when you've had enough. My day job pays more than triple anything I got from professional work and now I just do conventions and corporate stuff on weekends for the fun and having a little extra money, since I can choose how long I work and where (or if at all, as I won't even do it every weekend or even every month).

Why has the world abandoned photo shoots of good looking women?
99% of anything I see now is selfies and if its a photoshoot its just to sell clothing or some super generic looking agency testshoot.
10 years ago or whatever the world was full of every good looking girl doing multiple photoshoots just for content.
What happened?

Film photography is better due to low sensitivity in dark areas. No one needs to see what is in dark areas most of the time. Just imagine this photo with unnecessary crap in shadows.

6x6 TLRs are a lot smaller than you'd think.
A folder is probably always going to win on compactness, but zone focussing and composing with the brilliant finder on my Ikon 515/2 sucks. My Microcord (Rolleiflex copy for all intents and purposes iirc) is smaller volume wise than my 35mm SLRs.
>>4491421
I understand the packing purposes issue but personally when I've travelled with my folder I always brought a 35mm SLR anyway because I knew the folder was so limiting.
There are a few folding rangefinders, like the Mamiya Six, Voigtlander and Zeiss made them also. You could always get a hotshoe rangefinder and mount it to your folder.

tl;dr Like you say if you bring the folder you will want a 35mm also, so the TLR is there if you want to replace both I suppose. Unless your folder has a rangefinder already in which case I think wanting anything further is GAS.

Picrel is from my Ikon 515/2 on a trip to Vienna where I just had a carry on bag. I still managed to pack my Praktica TL1000. I've done small day hikes with the same set up without issue.
