It's not as rare as you think.

275 918 that's a real estimate for a real photography job and it's not as rare as you might think most photographers myself included tend to do a lot of work for much smaller clients with much smaller budgets if you're used to doing jobs for local clients who have to stretch to make five thousand dollars work it's hard to wrap your head around a shoot that has 28 30 people on set every day and costs more than a quarter of a million dollars in the commercial photography World jobs with budgets this High they're just not uncommon commercial photographers regularly work on large projects with large budgets for large companies that spend a lot of money on Advertising so when a large multinational brand is spending say 20 million dollars on a multinational advertising campaign 275 000 is just a drop in the bucket it's literally only one percent of the entire budget for that entire advertising campaign
