You certainly have never sold a membership in your life, you only shoot porn because its the only way you get to see naked (albeit smelly third world staving desperate immigrants) girls.

Small sample size but plenty enough to prove you wrong.

Are you suggesting that Kayla Louise and Faye Taylor hail from Staines?

Your work speaks volumes.
Yes Jimmy, the rules are good for people like Cherry. He would know this if he had any training. Rules like,
If you're going to shoot a sequence that requires a close up of a girls rear end, make sure she has a flawless skin.
Pubic stubble is a turn off.
Pale skinned girls against a white background are not to be shot.
Yellow Gels on a white background and pale skinned girl makes her look jaundiced.
Stand a girl away from a white background or "blue wall" so you can back light it.
Don't over expose a pale girl on a white back ground.
But decent underwear if you want to look like you can afford it.
Cut out the labels.
Get decent music to overlay on a scene like a striptease, stripper or fantasy style would be best.
Idiots who break the above rules, need to have a clue how to break or stick to them.
Telling someone who has survived 34 years in porn that his work is awful. Shows stupidity.
Cherry can insult me all he likes, he's clearly untrained, never read a proper book on photography and has no qualifications. Just accuses, others who admit they learned by being on the job. They had no formal training.

Right. Just as you cannot depict a nude descending a staircase. No chance you caught the reference, but that's fine.

Cherry will never take criticism from anyone. In his head he's great. I suppose he hasn't figured out why no one else agrees with him. Including surfers. 
Maybe it's all our lack of vision. |
You're absolutely right, Paul. Your lack of vision played an immense role in your 34 year 'survival'. You were able to deliver exactly what was asked of you in a timely fashion. Nothing more, nothing less and I honestly doubt that Cherry's ego would have allowed him to do the same.
Let's face it. Cherry is fucked. In an industry where the real money is made by flooding the market with generic, low-to-medium quality, and unimaginative content that appeals to a largely midscale male audience, Cherry is producing unique, high quality, and imaginative content that appeals to upscale lesbians. And while he had the foresight to correctly identify his target market, which is an important detail that many tend to overlook, he made the tactical error of using a sexually ambiguous fictional character in approaching said target!
To top it all off, he's utilizing a new business model to sell the content!!! Quelle horreur!!!! I guess he didn't get the memo which stated that you're supposed to do what everyone else is doing despite the fact that most of them are all bitching about how much piracy has hurt their business.
Personally, I really don't even like his content, but the quality is undeniable and I respect it. Maybe he is indeed breaking too many rules at once, but all you have to do is take a casual look at the high level of attention which is paid to every minute detail on his website to know that he was cognizant of the fact that a freaking tag was sticking out of the back of Miho Lechter's panties!! Wow. Maybe it doesn't work for you or any of your bum chums, but you have to give him a ton of credit for having the balls to push the boundaries and even if Cherry's porn earnings never surpass your porn earnings, I guarantee that more people will make more money by having been influenced by his work than by yours. He's an artist and that's what artists do and while that's probably not something about which a low end commercial photographer such as yourself would care about, it's something that still bears noting.
