This is an art not a science.

There's no "one way" to shoot.

I have some members going to my site and downloading the same exact photos week after week.

So even if my stuff is not perfect it works.

I love Camdough

Can it work any better?

There is no one way to shoot. Even the same shooter shooting the same niche has to adjust how he shoots according to the model, set, style, location, etc. Shooting solo is all about the relationship between the shooter and the model. What ever the niche or style. With a few exceptions.

Shooting couples is all about their relationship and the shooter. In that order.

What's your site? Give me a login and I will do an appraisal and send it to you privately.

Paul, have you been given any indication off-board what the story or stories will be about???

No and don't expect anything for a few days, we're off to England Friday for a week. So no point in doing anything for a week.

Makes life a little easier. You can even show it to the girls who can't get it right. And shows you know what you're talking about.

Then when you shoot the video she and you know what positions you want.

This is an excellent idea.
I'm gonna steal this one and use it. Sure will make my life easier when I'm trying to shoot and have a million things flying around in my head.

How to do it is simple.

Buy some mags, because as Fabian says they need to get each pose right and a website doesn't. Sort out all the basic poses in variations and put them into a display folder. Something like this with plastic A4 pages in so you can turn the pages as you shoot and it will remind you of the pose.

Nice post. Is solid gold to any new photog or experienced photog shooting a new niche..

That would be a very good idea for any company that is hiring new shooters and wants that new shooter to maintain their brand and style of shooting.

I have the same type of books. I loaded all of my posses for all of my different niches into a Sony PSP. The visuals comes in handy when working with brand new models.

And when you bounce around 30 different niches for different clients those electronic pose books come in way handy for nailing the right poses for the right niche. A very good memory refresher from time to time.

I always recommend that as a step 1 for new photogs trying to get good or trying to get into adult. Find the posses that you like and load them into your Iphone or Android and pull them up as needed.

Yeah, this is definitely something I never thought about doing. Hell I only shoot ONE thing and I still find myself at the end of the day going: "DOH! I should have got THAT pose!"

I hope Paul keeps posting. It really shows the difference between guys who know what they are doing and the idiots and trolls in this thread of whom half are either not in this business or are on the fringes as "wannabes"

It's pretty easy to spot them. Don't let them get you down Paul. There are still a few people on here like JustDave who DO respect you. We may not agree with you completely on your assessment of marketing and selling porn. But hell, reality is none of us agree with each other either lol

Bottom line is...yes, you are very talented and very knowledgeable. And though I have that clown Fabian on "ignore" it is still fun watching you destroy his inexperienced and ignorant ass on how to shoot porn.

And funnier to watch trolls babble on how Fabian is "right" and you are "wrong".

Only on GFY would IDIOTS side against a guy with more than 4 decades experience shooting porn and side with a guy who has never even been on a porn set in his life.

Really?

When I'm at the beach shooting surfers in the pounding surf and the salt spray is blowing past me I don't even think twice about switching my lens on the spot in order to get a different perspective. It's just what needs to be done in order to get an interesting image.

Even with best care you'll get dust internally to the lens over time because the movement of the internal lens elements during focusing and zooming (where applicable) will cause ambient air and particles it contains being sucked in

1) Nikon?s new Integrated Dust Reduction System employs quad-frequency ultrasonic sensor cleaning every time the camera is turned on or off.

2)The are cleaning buds and liquids in every good photographic shop

To whole point of a DSLR is the range of lenses from 6mm to 6000mm.

You will find that the Czech film was made with very modest resources, less than a lot of US porn movies, but that was not the point, the point is the erotic is in the mind.

great tip Paul and one I keep asking my photog to put together - a pose book/binder so girls can see.

I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

I'll just say this: I've made money with Paul Markham's content. No doubt about it. And so did many people here.

On the other hand, Paul uses to have such extreme and stubborn points of view that it isn't even funny. I've lots of respect for people that stands up for what they think, but I want some objective demonstration of that. Saying "because I say so" or "because I did it 30 years ago" is frankly annoying. Personally, I think this is what caused him losing a lot of work opportunities, rather than the OP description

Agreed. I got my ideas for many big tit poses not from the site...but just remembering jerking off to the magazine back a couple of decades ago. heh-heh

One big tit pose that I use and really pleases the members is one that I first saw a young Kayla Kleevage do in a mag many, many years ago where she had one leg propped up on a chair and then bent down so you could see her face...and of course those giant tits hanging down under the leg.

That's just one of those poses that made my cock jump. And I use my cock like a divining rod for money. lol

Sometimes I have to wonder what some people are thinking. A lot of you act like marks and are always being worked. A few of you understand the game.

You are supposed to be IN this business. Anybody actually in this business who believes a "review site" is an actual "review site" like "Consumer Reports", is a mark. Plain and simple.

Whomever wrote those "reviews" is no more and no less qualified to "grade" a website than any asshole off the street. Most times they are LESS qualified because they aren't a fan of and don't understand the niche in front of them.

People, start acting like you are in this business and stop acting like fans/customers.

Consumer Reports has zero advertising and is totally fee based to resist influence. I think you are thinking of Consumer Digest, which is completely meant to appear as unbiased as CR but is in reality a shill. Just had to say...

In order to stop all photosets looking the same, you have a book with 24 poses in it, so all your photosets look the same?

I'm missing the genius here...
