Hi there, thanks for the feedback. We understand that fees are an important topic and something that we spend a lot of time working on. We're committed to creating a way for photographers to spend time doing what they like rather than the admin of invoicing etc and all the work that comes with trying to win new clients. Whilst it's true we operate in a highly competitive field, all the numbers you quote are incorrect though. We pay more for properties over 2000 sq ft and more again for properties over 4000 sq ft. The average fee we pay photographers is much more than you are quoting as we find ways to do more products whilst on site. We also most definitely do not charge customers hundreds of pounds for the service. Hope that helps clarify a few things and I'm always available personally if you want to speak more on any of the above (tom.claridge@focalagent.com). Working with approx 1000 photographers around the UK, we know that the solution works very well for many photographers - but at the same time it won't work for everyone (like with most things in life). We wish you all the best with your ongoing photography work. Thanks.
