This is reagerding mainstream porn and not fetish/niche.
The ability to recognise and find hot girls is the first and most important skill needed to be a successful pornographer. Then you need to have the skills to present her the right way. To do this think about what the consumer wants, look at it through his eyes and thoughts.
Most of the guys that jerk off have their own favourite fantasy, be it fucking the girl down the street or worshipping the Penthouse queen. We need to deliver that to him in such a way that makes him buy.
A webmasters or shooters ability to do this is the deviding line between profit and loss. Lykos you can make money as a shooter shooting these girls. You need to shoot them as a production line, keep your costs very low, your sales price VERY low and marketing high. There are enough guys who do not know what is hot or just want filler for their sites to make it pay.
To be precise about what is wrong with the girls you showed us is simple.
Neither of them are attractive or pretty. They're NORMAL
They have been shot in a location that screams Eastern Europe.
We are not seeing the originals, but the quality of the image is poor.
You do not present your girls as the fantasy requires, just as pieces of meat.
There is a lot more to porn than showing a pussy.
MichealW pictures however are a different thing, this is not a stunning girl, but he has presented her very well. Yes the image retouched, but do you think the surfer knows that?
The photo looks very much like Deny de Francescos work, good make up, nice location and well shot. But the girl isnot hot.
What is hot, is a girl who will make a surfer sign up, keep him renewing to see more of her and good enough to base a site on. We shoot over 200 girls a year and do casting on over 500. We find about 20 hot girls a year, yes one in ten.
Now these girls are hot, they will make members sign up and make them stay. Most content providers have some hot girls, whether they can shoot them properly is another problem. Webmasters who want to make a lot of money, need to find these girls and buy their content. That is the hard work.
They need to go around ALL the decent content providers sites looking for them and making sure thay buy them first. They need to be able to recognise if the set/video fits the style/niche they are supplying. If they can get custom of her even better, but not essential. they can always find filler and content providers who will do a deal. But no surfer signs up becases the webmaster did a deal, was too lazy to search for the right content or just did not understand what he was buying.
This business is not about pointing a camera at a naked girl or how many pages you can put up x surfers you can throw at it.
