So now I can say nobody told me I am an amateur, sweet!   Thanks for your truth.

Okay, we have not done this in a while. Not for models, only for those who have signed up in the photographer category.

Are you a photographer, a GWC or a GWPW (that would be a "guy with paper weight" someone who should just us the camera to keep his/her mail from blowing in the wind.)

1) NO WHINING, THESE WILL BE JUST MY OPINION WHICH MEANS NOTHING
2) RE-READ #1
3) If you have 20 photos of the same model poorly lit by the bedside lamp in a hotel room, you ain't getting more than  GWC
4) If you have a "babe" posing with a giant sword, see #3
5) If the shot you have with the most number of "lists" and "comments"  is an obscene shot, read #3. Please don't waste your time or mine telling me that everything you shoot is art, if it is obsene to me I'll say so. RE-READ #1

Basically, if you are a photographer, it will be obvious. If you just want to see a boy or girl out of their clothes, it will also be obvious. There is nothing wrong with either, lets just not kid ourselves as to which is which.

EDIT at 5:25 added category JPB (Just Plain Bad)

I looked at your port.
Seems like you are describing yourself.
All that's missing is the sword.

I have no illusions... GWPW.. but I am curious...

How do you rate yourself?

yup, gwpw

I don't rate myself, my clients do. If they call me back I am professional. Good part is I have had some of the same clients for over 25 years.

I think Connor needs the " 200,000 ft^2 studio" because he is full of that much hot air.

wow, interesting "work flow." 
as a rule, for me:
Commercial shoot -my clients tell me when we shoot; ad or client rep is at shoot reviewing images as we shoot, talent shows up, does what is needed and leaves;  client gets final edited shots next day (if not sooner.)
Stock shoot - I set schedule and location, talent shows up, does what is needed and leaves;  agency editor gets quick selects for review within a few days, I get reply with selects within about a week and return final editied files asap for final digital approval
Personal shoot - Talent shows up, does what is needed and leaves;  talent gets final edited files within a week.
