I've shot LA a few times with amazing results, but most of that I attribute to us being friends, her being an amazing model, and we just have such a fun time. And I've done a couple of magazine shoots for a few different magazines... Just because I don't dedicate my life to it doesn't mean I can't get the same shots as you, sir.
I said nothing about anyones ability, i'm saying you're complaining about models wanting to get paid...what do you expect? You'll be using their image to promote yourself, I understand you're in the TFP phase but you can't blame or belittle someone for that. That's their work and at some point they will pay you to be shot because of the quality of photos for their portfolio....in turn will be making them more money.
