8 or 9 photos that took 30 minutes to set up are not equivalent to 100s or 1000s of hours spent producing each high quality illustration..

I have no idea what you are talking about so why not give me a link to some of you work and to a Pinterest page?

1,000 of hours that is half a year!

Mine took me a lot more than you say as it took me ages to get the right set up and lighting, plus buying about 3 lots of lighting to find one I was happy with. But I take your point.
