Magazine work over here is not interesting for glamour or fashion, there are some publications on
www.frankdoorhof.com/portfolio
Most what you find there is advertising (Elinchrom, Seaheart, MJG etc.), I also photograph people like musicians, VIPs and sporters, the rest of what I do is for fashion designers and modelagencies for the Netherlands that's were the money is and the fun (with the last being the most important).
A normal fashion spread pays app 400.00 euros over here, that's not enough to pay for the time, MUA, stylist, models and get a good living.
That's one of the reasons a few years ago I decided to turn it all over to teaching workshops, making instructional DVDs etc. and believe me that keeps me busy the whole week, and it earns me a good living.
Again, think outside the box.
In the states pay for magazines are probarbly alot higher because you keep bringing that up, in the Netherlands the pay for the magazines range from 75.00 euro to maybe 500-600 euro for a good publication, for that kind of money you can't make a decent living.
The photographers earning more are the ones with years and years of networking in advertising, and often tells nothing about the quality (some are good, some are really bad).
For me I decided to do what I love most and that's teaching workshops, and I don't think you need more info on that
Again, you can't see everything B&W like you do publications and you are a real pro.
There are within photography alot of side areas. For me my carreer is in teaching workshops. And I think I do very well at that
