I can take over 10k photos over the course of 3 nights. Don’t think that photos taken = good photos.

Spend more time looking at photos of the same niche you take and identify what about them you like. Is it composition? The colours? What about the photo makes you feel how you feel? Then learn to replicate it

The artist should have their TM put you on the list for a photo pass (presuming the artist is at that level). Ask them to confirm they’ve done that

Work more. Get so busy that you don’t have time to look at stuff you’ve already done and by the time you do it’s old news anyways

Confirmed scam and a common one
