Let me explain something to you. People taking images and videos and trying to sell them isn't proof of any income.

One needs a solid base for a business not airy fairy ideas. The absolute minimum would be $600 per single girl set, shooting 10 sets a week. This gives a turnover of $312,000 per year. Not a brilliant income once expense are taken out, but okay. Otherwise one is running a one man band, from home and living hand to mouth.

Many of the images in the link you posted were the same as shot 30 to 40 years ago by Gordon Rondelle in the UK. He needed the permission of the venue, models and exclusivity to sell them the way you described. His main income was selling direct to magazines and then giving them to agencies for a little bit extra.

Stick to telling us about what you know.
