Kevin insists that a photographer's concept, time, editing, and equipment have a price. He continues by emphasizing the cost of the shooting location, the electric bill, and that everything has a price. "thaphotographers don't understand is; your images have a price. Copyright use of your images is where the real money is. It's so much money in copyright images. it's insane. For example, you can rent your image out for 6 months; 1 image for 6 months for 500$. Imagine doing a custom photo shoot where you have hair, makeup, wardrobe, studio time, and you shoot 200 images but they want to use 15. Imagine 500$ times 15 images. And that is only the copyright use. The price is not including hair, makeup, wardrobe, studio, camera equipment, your skill, your time, and your editing skills. Everything during the photo shoot has a cost. That's how your turn a 500-dollar photoshoot turns into a 15-thousand-dollar photoshoot."
