I’m just throwing this out there as we are entering into week 3 of this now.
We all have different rankings/preferences on studio order. With that being said, I’m just tossing this out there to see what the bulk of people would do. We had 5 notable studios rise prices, and let’s say if your 3rd/4th/5th studio decided they had to much of this and we’re willing to do a grandfather deal for those verified before OCt1, new fee would be for anyone OCt1 and after. (Likely scenario as well is if this were to happen, once it did then other studios would do something similar shortly after).
Are you willing to semi end it, and go support this 3-4-5th placed studio? Does said studio get a boost because of it in the long run or does it say in mid/bottom tier?

With that being said, if studios want to Jack up rates multiple times in a year (even if it’s stay competitive with pay), then talent needs to stay at top tier levels, along with guys the ability to see semi accurate or reliable photos. If you want to use photoshop, guys have the ability to leave. What other reasonable “demands” would you want from them..
