"The difference between Cherry and I is.
He thinks the hard part is learning to use the camera, lighting and editing.
I think that's easier than learning how to pick models, manage models, direct models, know you're niche, etc."
WRONG...
I say easy or hard, they are all thing you need to learn. You do not believe in Agents, but good agent will help you find excellent models to work with.
PAUL MARKHAM says
"With todays cameras, lights and edit suites being so simple to use and that I was able to master them 25 years ago"
WRONG
You never learned how to use a camera , or to light or to edit, never mind "master" them.
Hence you think the alternative job for you is wedding photography. If you had mastered those skills you could be filming for HBO, or doing photography for the dozens of mens mags.
PAUL MARKHAM says
"models being harder to mange today"
I SAY
I have found the models we work with helpful, friendly and very talented. Often with difficult backgrounds but with lots of potential.
I posted some links on how to get started. To help Paul learn the most basic skills that he lacks. Then he can go on to be creative, Which means for example instead of lighting every scene with flat shadow-less light , the scene would be lit to create an atmosphere to add to the scene. The scene would be shot with "shots" so that an editor can make the scene more dramatic and exciting, capturing the important moments in CU and reaction shots. The recordest would not only get a good live sound track, but also wild tracks of breathing , sex and anything else the editor could use to build up a complex sound mix.
