Too much Photoshop.

Start with content. Then Photoshop to simply clean up, fix contrast/density, etc.. First thing should always be substance. Fluff is always recognizable as fluff.

Keep practicing. Commercial work is a tough nut to crack. Getting a job as an assistant is a good place to start. Highly competitive to get the real money jobs with the established agencies.

Yeah, no problem. I'm sure you're having fun with it. Again, nothing negative it's just that there's way too much of the same stuff out there. Being original with content is the true challenge. I have to weed through the chaff almost every day. Too many technically good people out there but not enough real talent.

I meant real money with steady work and a good agency. Not freelance sales.

That's the only one I can show you right now because a lot of photos have not been released yet even though some of the cars are out now... but that's just how it is.

It's good that you have decent work. I've just never heard of you before and I don't see you in the book or anywhere. Who's your agent? You can pm me.
