You don't need to be a pro photographer to make it in porn. You need just need to create images that people want to buy and be a master of your niche.
A lot of surfers don't like pro looking porn. They'd rather be on a site that looks like a college student shot picks of drunk naked girls in the dorms with a Kodak Instamatic because it conveys the real deal, no studio setups.
Flying by the seat of your pants is what gives uniqueness to a site and that is what is selling well in the market.

Where in what I posted did I say amateur porn is not a good seller?
People in the UK know these magazines, go look at Escort, Razzle and New Talent. We are one of their major contributors. Look at the readers wives pictures in the back of Club Confidential, we are the major supplier.
Amateur is a great market and we shoot for it all the time. But it still needs skills that I mentioned in my original post. Or did you miss this?

Learning how to make a model who is only there for the money and with no intentions of fucking anyone, look like she would fuck for a pizza is the real gift of a pornographer.

Learning how to get the maximum out of a model when they intend doing the minimum is the hardest part of my job.

The hard part is to make the model look as if she was doing it for fun and not there to earn money. Steve has the gift and the love for what he does. the photography part is the easy bit.
