You’re most welcome.  I try to be a straight shooter and sometimes that comes across as brash in the written word.  While we’re at it, I forgot to mention contracts, model releases, understanding copyright, print release, promotional releases, etc.   It’s 90% business and marketing, 10% photography.  An example of great branding is Jasmine Star.  She takes mediocre pictures but has marketed a brand that make women want to be her and they will pay out the behind to have the J* experience.
