but if you mean anyone who makes money selling porn then that covers much broader spectrum of people. thats why i focused on those who use cameras.

interestingly the word "pornographie" dates back to my hometown of new orleans heheh
Pornography derives from Greek, it means "writing of whores".

As for making money selling porn. Well then you need to define how much money, for how much work and most of all what is "selling". Is the girl taking your cash at the check out "selling". Is someone showing 1000 people a sample for 1 to buy "selling"?

Convincing someone you have the solutions to his/her situation is selling. Handing out tins of baked beans is supplying.

By your definition of people who make money selling porn. It would be a very small group, affiliates, some designers, marketing people, etc don't sell. They present. The sale is made by the person who put the POS together. Point Of Sale.

A great designer sells, not just himself, his clients products as well. How many "designers" just put a page together on the instructions? IMO to make a great porn tour, you need to be a great designer and a pornographer or an intense interest in the product. To do it at it's best.
