So, I've been on and off learning how to retouch for the last 3 years, but have been really dedicated to it for the last 6 months.
Now, I opened a MM account, and I am constantly approached by really bad photographers wanting extraordinary results, and paying next to nothing for it (they give me an example of completely different lighting, completely different model, outfit, frame, everything). And if I achieve the look buy going trough 5 conversions, they're never satisfied. And for what 40$ a day? Forget it!
I thought I'd get more clients if I start at 5$ an hour, but this is getting ridiculous.
So, now I found out that people charge 10 times as much as I do, and they actually have whole day to finish a detailed image, and are payed really well?
How? Where do I start?
For example, I even saw an Add here, they do nothing that I don't do, and they say they're looking for "established" retouchers. I can do all that, and in fact, have done it, so does that make me established?
I just want to stop working on horrible images.
