(I've snipped parts out of your original quote to keep things simple)
It's impressive that you're putting so much work into the planning stage. I don't understand what type of photos you will be doing, though - you mention drunk men, sexy-but-professional sales girls, and families in a flea market. I'm just curious, can you show an example of what type of photos you intend to do?
I was just saying what kind of people are at these places. Think of an outside mall that serves alcohol and has a live band playing and you have our location. The following pic is an example of the kind of shots we would take. How people pose and what they wear is up to them. At the location we will be capable of doing portfolio worthy stuff, which my partner will shoot if needed.
I didn't shoot this picture nor did anyone I know, but it's the closest example I could find. People that just want to remember the day or if they are out spur of the moment and want to take pics to hand out to friends and family. I'm sure once word gets out people will plan to come and take pics. We aren't charging an arm and a leg for stuff like this. $10 if they want it on CD.
The sexy women serve a purpose. Go to an attorney's office, some doctor's offices, and many other places. They hire beautiful women as secretaries, assistants, etc. The reason is because people are less guarded around women. Here in Vegas, if a man walks up to you trying to sell something, it is usually a hustle. Not always, but more times than not, and especially in the swap meet.
Some people focus on only the high end customers, but there is lots of money to be made in the low end market from people that want something semi professional, but can't afford to go full professional. I don't see why people have a problem with me catering to that market. When there are 30k people around, I'm sure we can get 200+ people per day to spend $10 per day. Being open 3 days per week will gross about $24k per month. That's on the low end.
Best laugh i have had all Christmas, there is no way you will get that photo with 1 continuos and 1 strobe, looks like he got 30% of **** all
