After I partnered with a professional photographer, I started getting more unsolicited opportunities and was able to successfully negotiate higher rates.

Rinse & repeat when I started (irregularly) getting professional hair & makeup.
My makeup is a work expense. I don’t wear any in daily life beyond practice to get better at self-application for when I don’t have an artist

Same for hiring makeup artists to give me lessons. Turns out it’s not a skill I developed in my physics, geology, & communication classes
I used to think I was bad at negotiating because my occasional-lawyers or agents (all men) got such higher rates tgan me solo that it more than compensated for their percentage.

Then I ghostwrote negotiations for a friend & discovered nah, it was all having a man’s name & voice.
