It's chicken and egg.
Jace is right there are lots of quality photographers waiting to work, but there are also lots of quality traffic drivers around.
The trick is affording them.
To get either you need to be in a position to pay for it. Good shooters are not working for peanuts. They don't shoot video and image sets for $300, well not if they have a clue what their content is worth.
A load of traffic people will send you great traffic if your site pays better than where they are sending it to. This will snowball as the message gets around.
The key to everything is
GREAT CONVERSIONS. Try doing that with crap content or crap traffic. Do it well and you'll be making money.
We have great content and convert very well,
http://paulmarkhamteens.com/tour/, we are growing and building on the great traffic. Can probably afford to pay more for the traffic and will look at it soon.
