Today a good set costs more money to shoot than it will return without the Internet sales.
It?s all down to economics.

Ok, since I do not produce content for others I was not aware of that.
But, I haven't found ANY content that comes close to selling memberships on my paysites other than the stuff I shoot myself.
And that's the frustrating part for me. There is NOTHING I can buy anywhere that will convert better than the stuff I shoot myself---and I know I'm not the world's greatest shooter. I just WISH I didn't have to shoot everything myself.
And I'm not talking about spending big money on beautiful women---the people I shoot are average, and inexpensive to hire---outside of the USA I shoot MANY models for $50-100 usd total.
Today my wife showed me some fashion ads in the new issue of Vanity Fair---and of course this is beautiful photography---and certainly expensive to produce photography, because it is so labor intensive...art directors, and set designers, and all that shit.
But the equipment to produce those Vanity Fair images ain't all that different from what we use. I mean, even an "average" looking girl could at least be photographed beautifully...that's what I'm getting at. Even an average looking girl could be photographed in an interesting way.
Why do many content producers waste time and $ photographing really BEAUTIFUL girls in a mediocre way, so they end up having to sell content sets for pennies.
Just doesn't compute, as the kids say.
Peace.
