Carl just moved here from Durango, CO. He's trying to make a go of his site, but is no expert at generating traffic. He needs help in that area. He has a partnership program, but obviously he needs well-keyed traffic or the bandwidth will kill him.
It's very fascinating to watch his shoots go down live. I watched a bodypainting session on Sunday with two models I've photographed myself. In fact, I send him most of his models! I don't think too many people get more models for less money than I do (http://www.girlsdotcom.com/booklets.htm).
Because the site hasn't taken off yet, he is actively soliciting "straight" photography work as well, and enjoying a little success.
However, I keep telling him that if he wants to make money doing photography on the Internet, he needs to do naughtier stuff. The models I send him will do open poses, use toys, and frequently masturbate for video, but he sticks with the "art nude" approach, whereas I do "art erotica."
BTW, has anyone seen my "art erotica" site? It's at
http://www.afterglow-photo.com. There aren't too many art sites around that bring in over $1K a month, but this one does.
