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?

what the hell happened to lighting? 40 years ago you'd have a nice controlled hairlight even on a presidential portrait

How does /p/ feel about zines?

They seem fun. You print your stuff, distribute it however you want, and people look at it. They might toss it in the trash but at least you made an impression.

You can make them for pretty cheap. I made some lo-fi DIY-style ones with my visual art at home using just an inkjet printer, and I've been dropping them in random places for people to find.

Anyone ever make zines?

Looking for pre-2000s landscape photography calenders. Not having much luck. Anyone seen any around?

If it's wrong, why is it so good?

Have any of you working/professional anons had any luck becoming a "high end" photographer/videographer? By which I mean, the kind of person who only works with more discerning, high-paying clients?

I run a business that does sound and video recording for classical and jazz musicians (there's some photography in there too) and whilst my skills are pretty good, I've realised that I will never make good money or work make truly great recordings until I get better quality clients.

It's not just about money, but rather the willingness and ability of these clients to work under the conditions needed to make a good product, whilst also respecting my work enough to actually cooperate.

I've realised half of the issue is just price. Doubling prices has helped get rid of the bad clients however the issue with "high-end" clients is that they are usually rich people who do not live in my shitty area and therefore don't know me. I know full well that a facebook ad will not fix this.

I haven't been here in a while so pardon me if this is a faggish question to answer, but last time I was here there was a decent number of current or former professionals.

Is anyone else noticing a big drop in engagement on flickr over the last year or 2?
I know its dropped alot since its peak, but it feels like its significantly dropped again over the last year or so.

I like the aesthetics of tobbaco, zippos and leather
