Let me put it this way i have been in the biz for years and
there are so many models you don't even see them twice.
That's to hard to answer

I've been in the business for a bit longer than most.
Today there are more shooters, more models, more work and more money than there has ever been. And it's easier today.
30 years ago there was a couple of magazines to sell to and the standards were very high and it was tough to get in. I started shooting photographs of my first wife and selling them mail order.
Videos, to be honest I don't remember them being around and suspect it was still film. Getting it processed must have been a nightmare and all very expensive.
Then the business started to grow, yet still you needed a lot of skill, great equipment and good models. All expensive or hard to find.
Today anyone can pick up a camera from any decent shop, put an advert in the local paper and the phone rings off the hook with girls willing to pose. The market is wide open. Websites seem to go up by the day and the appetite for new content is insatiable. OK the amount earned on a set is lower, but the time it takes to shoot and the demand balances it.
Used to shoot 100 magazine sets a year, each worth $2,000. Now we shoot 500 sets each worth $1,000. I now spend less time looking at Jerry Springer on afternoon TV.
How many models? I can do a casting in Prague and get 30 girls to turn up. Or more.
How many shooters? Some of the good girls need to be booked weeks in advance and will not have time to do castings. They earn $1,000 to $3,000 a week.
How many agents? Not important as many of the girls are with 3-5 agents, two decent ones in CZ.
The rest I can tell you more than 10 years ago.
