As for living on the street, I'm not in fact I've made a ton more money than some of the "experts" in this thread. Guys who're are shooting content for $100s when I shot for $1,000s. Guys who have nothing to fall back on because they gave it all away in one off sales.

We soon realised shooting custom lost us money. Why shoot a set for $400 one off when it made more than that in our content stores. Plus what it made in other sales.

Fidler if you think quality porn has anything to do with "full lighting equipment high quality pics and vids" you need to educate yourself. It has nothing to do with that.

Making content to "look like a husband is using a standard £100 camera from the local retail shop to snap his wife" takes skills that have nothing to do with photography. Making a pro model look and act like that wife on video is a lot harder than you think. Selling it for $150 set and video is a fools game and will end up with shooters on the street as Agent 488 advises.

Over the last 10 years I've listened to the so called experts and watched them decimate an industry. If they were all so bright we would all be making a hell of a lot more money. Can anyone explain why we don't then with all the experts flinging their advice around?
