My content business is dying a fast death but I am trying to weather the storm. If other producers are experiencing the same as I am this biz is in serious trouble! Soon their wont be many producers around and if you want us to shoot content expect it to be in a shitty apartment somewhere with cheap gear and cheap models.
Investigate shooting for weddings and in that area.

You're a very good shooter and would establish yourself in that market in no time.

Do some free ones, let them know why and see your work. That's the toughest part for adult shooters.

Search for wedding planners and make your introductions.

Advertise, with a site for just this.

And you're making the transition.

Hand out cards to couples at weddings and see it grow.
