Stephen Hicks has been shooting for decades, shots for markets that return $10,000 a set as a minimum and uses professional models.
Matrix are not in the same league, they may call it "Glamour" but it aint.

The situation is very simple, the money is in sets from $10 to $40 today, churn them out and make money. Some want the images corrected and some do not, some can shoot well enough so what comes off the camera can go straight out and some cannot. Bottom line is profit.
We do a crop, some color/levels correction and remove the zits from the girls bum, shoot a girl around her period and she WILL have them and they need removing, and that's about all they need.
But it's time consuming and expensive, for some in the States hardly worth it.
Does the surfer notice? The free surfers don't care, the ones paying $30 a month certainly do.
Just cropped and compressed 50%
Corrected to sell and cropped/compressed to post here.
Thing is any idiot can shoot the first one and the Internet is flooded with it, few can shoot the second one and the demand is bigger.
