Well, here's how I would see things Baaaark (going back to the original topic)
If I were a professional photographer, actually making my living solely from it, and I had a nice studio that customers could come to, with all the lights, and my dream 5D with several nice L series lenses... I more than likely would charge more simply due to my overhead, unless I was fortunate enough to own every inch of the studio, from the building to all the equipment
Morally speaking, I have no issues with charging someone because even at the level I'm at now, which is maybe, and I do mean maybe, slightly over beginner, perhaps blending into intermdiate..
This makes a lot of sense. With your argument, some may say its counterproductive to have too nice of a studio. This just goes to show you the great photography studios are ones with a great business model AS WELL as a great photographer. You can't be one or the other, you have to be both.
Maybe I'm thinking too much. But I just wonder if many people buy and upgrade of camera, lighting, and/or lens, and feel entitled to charge more cause their photo quality has increased. Or if they just keep doing what they're doing.
And I appreciate you talking with me. I know its more abstract and philosophical than most questions on here (and that some people HATE philosophy), but it fascinates me to know how the industry works, not just, "I have camera trouble," or, "How does my photo look."
