Okay this is just an aspect of the increase in competition, but the point is that the main reactions have been to reduce prices or quit. Yet there must be photographers with the skills to try out different lighting or camera angles, the imagination to do something different with sets, hair, makeup. I don't know, I'm not a photographer. But I know that if you are in a competitive field and you don't want to compete on price, you have to be better (not in pro terms, but in a way that means something to the customer) and/or different.

again, exactly correct.
today i was looking at the fashion ads in vanity fair.
mostly shot with digital these days, probably with equipment that most pro photographers use.
and stylistically the images were all over the map.
weird colors, weird lighting, and all fucking beautiful.
oh, if only porn was shot this way.
or, to say it differently, if only artists shot porn.
a few do, but not many.
