    Thank you so much for you comments about two pictures...

    OK this is a fail for anything but Ex GF content. Looks like a BF hiding on the floor shooting his GF. Who looks pregnant.

    Nice porn picture, girl looking into the with a nice enticing smile, holding up her big tits with nipples and erect and the open pussy is inviting. Only problem is it's at least 1.5 stops over exposed and a white girl is on a white lounger
    .

    These were two of SImon Scans pictures "one of the best photographers posting here " NOT MINE .....

    So you two can sort that out

    But hey I don't blame you two, as Simon Scans has 503,687 photos on his site it is bound to be sausage factory...

    Pauls point was that today's internet sausages arn't as good as those old Magazine sausages, and that sausages should be better made.

    Simon doesn't like his sausages cut in strange places.

    Paul is going to write a book (even though he says you can't learn anything from a book) on how to make sausages...

    So forgive me if I don't want to do what you do, there is way to much of it about...

          After watching tons of porn, I can honestly say that about 5% of them actually know what they're doing.

            The things I critisised like cropping were real basics. You either cut the girls whole foot off or you include all the foot, you don't just cut off the toes. If when you're shooting the girl isn't fitting into the frame you ask her to pull her foot in. Same goes for shaving an albow or side of the leg/arm. Move the girl or come out in the frame.

            As for posing I see you just include the same poses we all do. There are 27 basic poses. And from there on it's all variations. You got some of them wrong.

            Wedding photographers can be very creative, it depends what you're paying them. Look at Lord Lichfield's wedding photography.

            The magazines sold in there 10,000s to 100,000s. They used different shooters in each magazine. So to get a different view point of the same niche/style. Colby never shot like Thomas, who never shot like Medland and none of them shot like me.

            Different girls, locations and styles. There fore the magazine was kept varied. Just because you found them boring doesn't mean the millions of magazines readers thought so.

            When will you get it?

            I'M NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER. I'M A PORNOGRAPHER

            Two entirely different things. So stop talking about photography or me being a photographer. It's pornography and pornographer.



            Nice picture.

            WRONG! WRONG!

            I am a photographer 1st, pornographer 2nd.

            I am a musician 1st, guitarist 2nd

            I can learn tips and tricks from books, videos and others helpful insight.

              Paul, I'm pretty sure I've bought stuff from you, so no disrespect, but you mention in your own post that people like Viv Thomas, Suze Randall, Steven Hicks, and Denys de Francesco can shoot for magazines. I don't particularly consider myself a photographer, but I've had work published by pretty much all the major adult publishing houses. If this is an educational thread, perhaps you could share your thoughts on where I and other magazine shooters are leaving money on the table in 2011.
              In 2011 there's little money left on the table. I wrote something here you might find interesting. http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=18...&postcount=101

              If you've been published regularly then you're one of the good and bright ones. Far too many were blinkered to only the online market. And it cost them money in the end.

              I will write something on marketing, however it will be more about creating something very unique in a mainstream niche so it's not just another little fish in a very crowded pond full of little fish.

              Online is all that's left today and for that it has to be different, better and wanted by buyers. Throwing traffic at it no longer works. The cost of traffic has sent many to the wall. And many more going there soon.

                And not mine either. Mind you being one of the best here isn't a big compliment.

                You really are an idiot. It's not about if Simon likes my work better then his work or visa versa. It's about if members and surfers like it. And the profit it makes.

                With ratios and retention as bad as they are and always have been, the surfers and members are voting. Average ratios on a TGP were 1-1,000s, average retention was 3-4 moths. Not good. It means 99.95% of traffic didn't like the content enough to buy and when they did it was rarely good enough to keep them for a few month. People bought the same magazines and DVD for years. Because they liked what was in the magazines and DVD.

                We went a different route, which clearly didn't work. http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=18...&postcount=101

                  In 1995 the 95% would of gone out of business very fast. For 15 years they've had a chance to make some money. Now the'yre off to mainstream or getting a day job. Assuming they lasted 15 years, some of them died out very fast. Anyone remember Unseen World?

                  And Lady Mischief and her husband's content store?

                  They were telling me I was clueless and wouldn't last long.

                  Just like Sausage did.

                  And many more like them.

                    But just two posts ago you were going on about how there is still money in mags. And you've bleated on and on about how great DVD sales are in 2011.

                    HANG ON!

                    You weren't LYING were you!?!?!?!?!

                      In that case he = wins and you = lose.

                      You're not even fit to clean his shoes!



                      This is brilliant. I can understand you calling everyone in porn a stupid cunt, but this week you seem to be calling all the shooters that are so far ahead of you cunts.

                      Nice twist on trolling!

                        It is a point that is a puzzle, Paul Markham, is better porn maker, he worked for high class mags... he had a good head start with a back catalog.....

                        he also says he can market too.

                        Why is his site not the top porn site ?

                        Why don't the punters flock to his better content ?

                            Because I never put it at the top of my money making tree.

                            Simon Scans ONLY has his paysite. Nothing else to my knowledge in porn. Apologies to Simon if he does. He spends all his working day to making his site work, getting traffic, keeping affiliates happy, and shooting content.

                            We have Magazines.









                            They are just a small collection of the front covers. Mags paid $200 to $600 for just the front cover, plus $1,000 to $3,000 for a set non exclusive.

                              Because I am not the master, as Mr Markham claims. I don't claim to be better than anyone else, I state my opinion when other put themselves forward.

                              You published my address here and my phone number, are you planning a visit ?

                              We don't make porn we make little erotic movies, more than 50% of the crew are women, but that is not what interests us, we are trying to fill a space bewteen porn and normal cinema... a very lofty idea but very difficult to do as the costs for porn and normal cinema production are so different...

                                The trick was to shoot one scene and sell it in 4 markets. Well 5 if you include mobile phones, but we do that via the content stores.

                                Some of you are from one horse towns and can't think wider than that one horse. Of course Simon gets more traffic to his paysite than we do to ours. You all assume the paysite is our top priority. Take off the blinkers.
