Getting the setting right is important and as you point out some do it badly.

I will argue with your point about stockings, it appeals to the buyers over 45 years of age. Guys of my age can remember pre tights times when all girls wore stockings. Who is more likely to buy a membership 18 to 28 or 48 to 58? We are not all senile and unable to surf. LOL

But you are spot on about building the scenario and many are totally clueless about it. 8 years of "anyone can shoot porn" has brought that about.

As for new models coming into the biz, I share an office with an agent in the San Pornando Valley, and we've seen more girls coming in over the last couple months. Sure, not all are cute, but I'm betting the recession will bring lots more hotties into the office.
Without a doubt the economic downturn will make a difference. The problem might be that we don't have any work to give them. ;)

Or a lot less.

Oh, and one more pet peeve not related to this thread: could all you guys who shoot outdoors just cut it out. Most of you have no idea how to resolve the technical problems associated with shooting in bright sunlight, and you also have no idea how to fix it in post (even if that's possible). Thanks.
See my comment about anyone can shoot.

I find shooting outdoors a nightmare, traveling to a location, sunlight is a bummer to control, wind, insects, noise, people, etc. And some clowns think I should do it exclusive for $400 a set.

Again it's the policy of anyone can shoot it and anyone can fill a site with anything and solve it with traffic business model that has brought this about. OK I know that's a bit over the top but most will get what I mean.

Something struck me last night about some of the comments in this thread. They are saying our content is wrong and does not sell. Last year they were saying our content was saturated, which means it sold very well. So remember, our content is saturated and members have seen it before and it does not sell because it's wrong and surfers are not looking for this content.

Or these guys are talking BULLSHIT and spamming their sites or/and the way they work.
