Soon you will find out NO! Atlanta has very few good photographers and pitifull advertisting/fashion market. They ALL want it for stuff free. You will hear a lot of "My cousin works at so and so, if you do this for free for me...It is GREAT opportunity for you."
How do I know? I lived there.

Hey...I'm new and have slowly found out that it is a small market here and not much goes on here as far as fashion.  Now if you want to do bikini, MAXIM kinda stuff.....there's lots here.  Not that I care for that stuff.

its apples and oranges. no comparison. different rationales, etc.

miami is important as a location not as a market (yet?)
atlanta is important to macon, though i'm still not sure why.

who told you miami is not a market???
it's the backdoor to NY (that's why they refer to it as the new borough) ,
the bridge for LA and NY and the front door for the hispanic and south american market. The fact that versace and every major photographer including bruce webber who is up the road in hollywood beach would tell you there is NY LA and Miami and chicago covers textiles.

I'd say atlanta is great for a commercial work. That's why I'm keeping my lil behind right here till I find a great agency. That's about all I've heard atlanta is good for. That and the urban market (which many haven't quite given a concrete definition to) but that's a  whole 'nother thread smile
