3) Lies Got me on that one.
4) ignores points he does not understand and then repeats the same again and again. Like ratios. Which I'm right on, ratios are getting worse.
5) dominates the discussion with thousands of posts till people lose the will to live. So why are you still posting so I can take the piss out of you?
6) interesting discussion is swamped with stupidity. So don't post and the stupidity will go.
7) He is uneducated and does not want to learn, he thinks you cannot learn from books. I've learned a lot over the years, just not from failures like you.
8) His little experience he had from taking the same set of photos over and over again for magazines has given him an over inflated opinion of his skills, it has to be remembers that photographers with real skills were working for mainstream magazines where real photographic knowledge was called for. It was about making money.
One would think that after that terrible video for Nathen he would be a bit more modest... For a terrible shooter seemed to have lasted a very long time. But you still think I'm a photographer, why is that? I never claimed to be one.

I tore you apart on B&B. Want me to do the same here?
OK then.
The samples on your site are a mush mash, some look like they were shot by someone with a clue, some look they were shot by you. The amateur ones.
I've seen your stills work and you have nothing to teach me.
Seriously what is erotic about this? What's with the stupid look on her face.
And don't tell me I don't understand that's a stupid excuse. Explain what it means.
Amateur, you left in the appendix scar and spots. No where near professional work.
Again a girl with a stupid look on her face, stupid isn't erotic. Badly cropped don't crop like this, it shows amateur photographer all the time. As for the pose, it's wrong. Left leg should be the forward one not the right leg, the girl should twist slightly at the waist to emphasise her ear. At least she's dipping her spine. The right arm detracts from her breasts, should be away from her breast to emphasise them.
You seem to have a thing about bad cropping and posing. I suppose it's the amateur coming out in you. It's again a poor pose, been done a million times before and better. Bring the pussy forward a touch, get the dress hem on the girls right out of the shot, get a better expression on her face. Pull the left hand strap off her shoulder. Use the natural light better. Drag the bench away from the bush and have someone with a mirror reflect the sun onto her head.
Amateur
The video sample here isn't bad, but to chopped up to give an impression good or bad.

Bog standard porn people have been shooting for decades.

Again bog standard and nothing special, girl in a shower soaping herself, 2 on a bed. done a million times. Show us something special, put one piece of erotica on your site that works.
This is erotica shot by professionals and your stuff isn't any thing like erotic. Go and learn and read more books. Properly shot, moody, in a great location, properly directed, lit and everything else. In other words professional erotic film making. Your stuff is shot on a small budget with smaller knowledge and abilities.
I know it's like trying to teach a dog maths, but at least I tried.
Didn't take her underwear off early enough, didn't shave herself prior to the shoot and the pose is wrong. The rump behind the pussy is wrong. Spots and moles again!!!
You shot this with a very cheap bedside cabinet and lamp in the background. Cropped off the head of the girl looking at you, the girl is looking at you and they don't seem to be looking at each other, the erotic content in the picture is 0. Porn 0. Or do you think out of focus makes it erotic?
Your problem is being clueless. Your work is bad, not even medium, it's full of little mistakes. You might have a lot of book knowledge, but that's where it ends. In a book.
