If you want to be a pro model or photographer you need to address these issues.

No matter what profession you are in you must have training, you must practice, you must promote yourself, and you must have a plan. You are not different than any Accountant, Lawyer or Doctor.

If you are not addressing most of these issues you are just fooling yourself.

If you are here just to pick up girls or gets some snaps for posterity then don't bother answering the thread.
