It's funny but the contacts I have in the music industry not only want me to shoot for free (which honestly I would be OK with at first to build my portfolio) but they also don't want to pay for any expenses. And I'm not paying out of pocket for something I have no way of making any money back on.



Wow I never expected that. Is it because you work in this industry and they think they can treat you like this? I always hear of so much money being thrown around in that industry and being so excessive.

Now if there is someone who can get me mainstream coverage, that's a different story...



You need a scandal. Or go out and be seen more at the Ivy and show up half naked at red carpet events. Or swallow your pride and start hanging around Paris Hilton for a few minutes to get some publicity.
