you shouldn't be so negative, with that attitude you won't sell a lot of your adult photography e-books.

That's very much of a politicians answer. I appreciate your reluctance to tell everyone and I would do the same if I had an idea.
Here's a few things to think about.
If it's a niche you really understand and can shoot it well, then go for it. If the content is really good and different enough, people will pay for it. We sell more memberships to a site with content I shot in 1980s and 90s than we do with the newer stuff.
It has nothing to do with HD, traffic, blah blah. It's content that isn't anywhere else. Retro hardcore is, this stuff isn't.
Then to the devotees of this twist of porn that you have in mind will pay for it. Niche devotees are less likely to pirate and as there are less of them, the piracy and price issue isn't important.
For 12 years online porn has played with prices (the proof is in this thread) up and down, the lower you go the less affiliates will push. The higher you go the more people who will see it as just over priced. The illusion that the price effects peoples perception of the site's content is BS. The last thing they see is the sign up and pay page. If you haven't convinced them the site is worth the price offered, then they won't buy what ever the price.
The problem is how much can you adjust the price and stay in profit. And then is it enough to convince someone?
Offer the customer something he can't say no to and you can charge what you like. Offer him the same everyone else offers. Then all you can do is play with prices or compete to get affiliates to send traffic.
My attitude is shaped by working in online porn for 15 years. The question is, is my attitude right?
