Andrea,

You say you have to explain to the people why you can't use their photos. How do you explain it? Do you tell them that you taking your own photos is actually part of the creative process?

I don't know what your fees are, but I suspect that as fees get higher, people expect you to take your own photos. For example, when I managed Robert Schoeller, in six years, I was never asked about using a client's existing photos.
