    Yes.

    Today one of the problems is sponsors will take crap. The models and shooters know it and there's no real love put into the work very often.

    I worked in a market that if it wasn't good enough it didn't sell. You lost money.

      Right. They are a guide. A starting point. I did not say they were the end all be all.

      I believe that is called, 'application' of what you have learned from the books. Also known as practicing. Through application of knowledge you acquire wisdom.

        I'd like to see it shot by someone who shoots amazing looking content. Maybe DeanCapture should write a book.

          Difference is, Dean sells information like this.

          Paul can't even give it away.

            You are not a photographer but you are writing a book on how to photograph..

            Maybe your book should start with the advice....

            Hire a good photographer.


            As the audience we cater to likes our photography and films, and they tell us that

            http://www.usreviewingthings.com/ind...-erotique.html

            I think we will continue to do what we are doing... and yes it is fun what we do, and it does make money...

            But I am not here trying to teach people,

            It is sad to see someone spreading false information, like you can't change lenses on a DSLR, you can't learn from books...

              Get used to that with Paul's posts. He just lies pretty much all day long.

              I guess if you get to his age and have to put your wife (who is meant to be a good shooter) out to work as a secretary, things are tough.

              No wonder he's too ashamed to post a pic of his house!

                Paul, good luck on yer ebook... some unasked for advice: probably be best NOT to talk down to your audience like you do here at GFY about your skills set and the good old days and how nobody did/does it better and the new shooters couldn't make it 'back then' and they all suck etc.... just a thought...

                  I create 7,000 images a week, 4 hours of video... I'm not a photographer... though I do use cameras. I'm a producer and I shoot for members, not other photgraphers... while your work is interesting I haven't seen anything that the membership base I shoot for would really go ballistic over... soft core isn't really selling that well in most areas... even metart had to go open leg/closeups to convert/retain

                    the trolls are on the prowl today, you can virtually smell the fear they have whenever someone wants to do something they can't do themselves...pathetic really.

                    In any case a key part of such a book would be how to get the models comfortable and in the mood. This is one thing that you can see lacking in alot of content, the models appear bored or just plain not into the scene which does do alot for the porn factor.

                      I suspect Dean could actually get a print book published on the subject if he really wanted to.

                          When you say 'fear' if you mean 'laughter' then I agree!

                          Do you think it's a good idea to say you can't learn from books in a thread where you are lying pretending you are going to create a book?

                          And rather than being scared to put my free ideas in an ebook that no one will download, I put them on a blog where everyone can see them. www.adultmarketing.co.uk - you'd love it.

                          I'd say the key part of the (totally made up and never going to happen) book is not to post that you cannot learn anything from books.

                          It's cool you are helping him with his delusions by actually thinking it will happen.

                            On the other hand the subject of model release forms gets a little tricky because if you get into content shooting it's imperative to consult with an entertainment lawyer with knowledge in that particular area and with the laws of that country or region, so that section is best left to "Consult with your lawyer" imo.

                              that's pure personality of the shooters.... can't learn that from a book... you either have it or you don't

                                So you think some magical fairy came down and gave you this skill?

                                No you learned it. And by learning it you may choose to keep it to yourself or in the case of a how to book impart that wisdom to others. Obviously a book only goes so far, practical experience is a must but regardless pointers in model psychology can be taught.
