    How to shoot better selling porn.

    And not spend the money that those trying to reach the "Met-Art" level.

    Individual Personality. That sells. This is the fundamental factor that all good porn should include. Without it, it's just all meat banging up against each other. It might as well be a porn clip from any one of 100s of other sites.

    Down the years and including online porn this has proved to be true. From Dirty George to Alsscan or Met-Art the personality in the movie is what helps a surfer hook onto the scene and supplier enough to separate it from 1,000s of other porn clips produced like Ford Cars, something for the trolls here, with no difference one after another.

    There are many ways to introduce Individual Personality into a porn scene or picture. The look in the models eyes, the style of the shot in a picture. In a movie it can be the shooter, the way he/she shoots a niche or style or the performance of the model.

    Once a shooter or model becomes an automated production line, the personality is lost. Great porn shooters and stars all have Individual Personality. And this is the only thing that separates them from the herd.

    Of course I'm assuming the Individual Personality isn't one that's so crappy no one would buy it.

    Yes I know if you adopt the attitude that "someone will buy it" this is all wrong. It just comes to numbers, do you want 1,000s to buy it or dozens?

    Then you need to fix the problems in this thread. http://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1066937

      Thanks for the vote of confidence.

      If you look at a lot of the rich porn people you will see why.

        Washed up photographer with no business acumen spends his times banging out advice to people who don't care. A man who has no understanding of the current adult industry and until enlightened a week ago didn't know that adult shops sold anything other than porn.

        Listening to Paul Markham's advice on Porn is like listening to Bernie Madoff on the subject of prudent investment.

        Now carry on with your dribble Paul, I'm sure you might surprise us and discover "something new" that the rest of the world has known for years.

          That is very informative Paul, and I had a colleague in the industry explain that to me a few years ago about *personality* being what sells....they described it just the way you outlined and I think you are spot on with that info! Thanks for sharing!

            This is why interviewing and getting to know the "models" before investing is so important.
            Excellent point made.

              For examples of porn nobody will buy, join paulmarkhamteens.com and don't do anything you see on that site.

              Paul says porn doesn't sell, so it must be his content that doesn't sell so use that as a learning source.

              Plus he could really use the money.

                Nevermind the fact that his advice consists of the obvious.

                No fucking shit a good personality will sell better. Good luck finding enough girls with good personalities to update each members area at least once a week.

                  Apples, apples, what a treat,
                  sweet and tart and good to eat.
                  Apples green and apples red,
                  hang from branches overhead,
                  and when they ripen, down they drop,
                  so we can taste our apple crop.

                        Thank you.

                        So how to make your apples taste different from the next one.

                        As Nalem say says getting to know a model before she arrives for a shoot is good. Even before you decide if she's suitable for shooting and how to bring out what is unique in her, helps a lot.

                        We see loads of threads with a picture of a girl and everyone raves over her. I've news that will shatter a few dreams. Adult Magazines are on life support.

                        Videos sell memberships and just because a shooter can pull out one or two decent stills from 100, doesn't mean she has a clue how to do a video or the shooter. and today in the days of Tubes, it's a video that makes the difference pushing traffic and converting it. Retaining memberships is for most sites 100% about the videos.

                        So interviewing a model and not judging her from a photo is essential.

                        I will write more later.

                        Until then please stop judging porn work by a stills picture, surfers rarely do when buying video porn.

                          The only thing you were ever worried about when shooting a girl was if she'd fuck you at the end, despite paying her.

                          Paul Markham Teens is a classic example of everything thats wrong with crap porn. The product of a photographer who has nothing else on his mind than getting his dick wet.

                          Yet you drone on and one with your lies and dribble, not one word of which you ever put into practice.
