Do Reps Recommend Photographers to Other Reps?

Q:

If a rep’s roster is full, would they ever recommend a photographer to another rep that might be a good fit?

A:

I highly doubt one rep would pass along the name of a good photographer to another rep. We are competitive beings and that goes against our grain. I can’t speak for other reps but I don’t see that happening. I usually get photographer recommendations through art producers at ad agencies.
