Taking it at your costings, with deductions for an assistant, travel, equipment, refreshments, insurance, etc. I would say he clears $500 a day for a shoot. $3500 a week which is $182,000 a year. Working 7 days a week.
A very good income for a shooter today in porn.
But your site is full of the same shooter repeating the same scenes and you will need to use girls that aren't top girls or repeat a lot of the girls in the site over and over again. Finding 100 good girls in a year is a big job.
Spreading it around 5 shooters that's $36.400 a year. Which isn't a good living for a shooter. Which means he has to find other clients. If he can find 5 like you he's making a nice living working 5 days a week.
He could of been shooting 1 day a week for mags and made $6,000 for a days shoot. So let's assume he shoots 4 days custom for sites and 1 day a week for mags. He would then of been making $400.000 a year. In fact shooting 1 day a week 50 weeks a year would make him $300,000.
You clearly have no idea what magazine shooters made. And that's my main point this side of the industry is far to arrogant and insular.
Tell me specifically where I'm wrong. PLEASE.
Today they are seriously out of options and the good guys have moved on or retired. Or working for what ever is left.
My mate who used to shoot for mags now shoots weddings at a minimum of 3,000 GBP a wedding, pictures and video. Does 1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. Rest of the week editing and putting together the wedding album. Also get sales for extra copies of the DVD and prints.
Makes $500,000 a year by working 2 days a week and booked for a year. Took him a year to build his business up to overtake porn shooting. Can't name him as it would harm his business, having an ex porn shooter doing your wedding album ain't funny.
