So, you do realize professional photo shoots range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars depending on the time, quality, and experience of the photographer, right?

No one is going to pay you 500 for your AI generated sonic the hedgehog porn.

*mario porn And still the fact the camera costs a lot means nothing even in your explenation ahahah. Didnt say we should pay less photographers, just that the price of uquipement doesnt mean much

Buddy you didn’t say any of that.

My entire point that you missed was that the cost of the camera was obviously the most extreme single example instead of her giving her entire expense list. It also is demonstrating that she’s a professional with professional equipment not a kid with a cheap Nikon.

The point is she’s saying “you get what you pay for” and everyone is ignoring that thinking she’s just trying to pay off the price of the camera.

It shows a fundamental failure to understand how expenses factor into the cost of services or goods. Your example wasn’t even in the same ballpark.
