The photography part is easy for most porn.
Getting a model to give out a performance over and above what 95% churn out today is hard. Then capturing it in a way that makes it better than everyone else pointing a camera at a naked couple can do is the tough part. Not once but time after time.
Cherry will never see this, he thinks it's about editing, the sequence it's shot in, lighting and other skills that are not so important for porn. A porn scene can be fantastic without any of Cherry's skills. Not clever, artistic or creative. Just capturing a girl who is real and not a porn model faking her way through a days work. Having the sex session of her life and the orgasm of her life. Getting that on film is the tough part. That's what keep members glued to a site, DVD brand or magazine. Assuming it's in the niche they like.
Capturing the look on a girls face that say "Fuck Me" isn't easy. Making a picture of a girls face convey that she's going to fuck you, is hard. Getting it in focus and lit properly is a breeze.
Editing is important enough to know that filming the intro and close to a scene is essential to give it meaning. Otherwise it's just another girl on another sofa. Which is what the Manwin editor did by leaving out my opening and closing to the scene.
People who think photography skills are essential to shoot porn, must think typing skills are important to write a book.
