[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 310751, member: 1061"] Networking with other photographers can be hit or miss, in my experience. The mentality SHOULD be: If you meet another X photographer (auto, portrait, commercial, etc) who is successful, that means that YOU can be successful. It means there is a demand for this kind of business. It means that if you work your ass off, you can do it. Some pros embrace this mentality. Unfortunately, others don't. They view you as a threat and/or competition. Networking has to be mutually beneficial for both parties. If X photographer doesn't shoot automotive, you want that guy to refer those people to you. Conversely, if you have someone ask you to shoot a wedding, you would refer that client elsewhere. You have to bring something to the table, or your peers won't want to network with you. [/QUOTE]
