but i see at least one shooter has an understanding of the surfer's mindset:

and this is the antithesis of the "Paul Markham" style.
to the point, cropped correctly, ONLY the important parts of the shot are shown to the surfer, fairly ordinary girls, beautifully shot in ways that separate the surfer from his coin.
in the smut business you have a nanosecond to stop a guy in his tracks, you must get the CC out of the wanker's pocket right now, and that means not wasting the modeling fee by shooting images that lack imagination, and then you must know how to edit so you don't put throwaway images on a tour.
of course this is not the only type of stuff that converts, MetArt converts also, but images must get the heart pumping, because without that no $ changes hands.
this discussion goes beyond lighting, it deals with psychology and empathy for the surfer and an understanding of niches.
no time now, that is a college level course.
