It usually takes a team to create great work.
One person usually isn't great at everything - shoot, lighting, directing and producing.

Still talking about the technical points and nothing about the actual product we sell.
I've seen ponr shot be guys trained at the BBC, professional cameraman, lighting, sound, direction. It sucked was as boring as paint drying.
I've never had a days formal photographic training in my life and can barely light a set. But I've produced more hard ons and sperm flying into a handkerchief than the top porn stars.
To produce porn you need to know how th get the best out of a model without forcing her/him, how to hadle them, the problems that will arise and how to deal with them.
Then there are the angles, framing, sequence, cuts, cut aways, comedy and a few other things.
All this needs to be handled so with a bunch of non actors, being paid to fuck, who don't give a tinkers toss about your product and only interested in the money and when they can go home, you produce something that looks vaguely horny.
Sticking a camera on a tripod and zooming in and out is not porn, especially when a model, who's supposed to be having her brains fucked out of her, keeps looking to the camera right, probably for instructions. It's little things like that, that can kill the erection.
Hunter I do not have fucking clue how to operate a camera, what I do know is how to operate models and that is what makes a pornographer.
