The adult industry did have a near total collapse over the last 4 years or so, and I'm sure I'm not alone in having all of my best clients go the way of the Dodo bird.
Even Playboy/Realitycash and PORN.COM stopped shooting years ago. They were my top clients, so that left a gaping hole in my schedule and fucked up my finances for sure.

Since then I have dropped my prices considerably. I have been shooting for lots of smaller companies and shooting in the studio for one of the last big porn companies SCORE GROUP in Miami.
I do not turn down legitimate work, but I can't afford to stay in business for peanuts either.

This is coming from one of the best and most dependable producers in South Florida. I have many thousands of solid scenes of all kinds shot over 15 years and recently for the last 2 years my photos have been in around 5 -10 different magazines per month for SCORE.

Talented photographers/Videographers ought to make what they are worth. There's enough guys that shoot shit content out there and you get what you pay for.

I'm not currently kicking ass and taking names shooting porn. I make much more shooting non-adult.

Also, if you want to talk about paying per hour for a camera/video guy with full gear it's not gonna be as cheap as a day rate. So your hourly rate is not a fair gauge of what producers get in general. I can shoot 3 or 4 solid assorted scenes in a day.

The camera guy has to be available to shoot when you want to. He can't have a regular job unless he's doing it for the pussy.

What's an adult producer with full PRO camera and video gear and lighting ($15,000.00 or so investment) worth per hour for an 8 - 10 hour day?
$25.00 per hour?
$35.00 per hour?
$50.00 per hour?
Wait you don't wanna pay minimum wage , do ya?

I'll gladly put in a full day's work for a full days pay.

Looking for new clients all the time who want top quality content for reasonable rates.
