People want high quality and will pay for it.
There are shooters who will have to pay for the higher standard and charge for the expertise.

This post says it all. There are shooters who work for very little and shooters who want $1,000 a day plus all expenses. Hope this will give you some idea.
We shoot casting pictures for a telephone dating type site client. 30-40 pics for 40 Euros. Every girl with documents on a casting is suitable. We also shoot "Readers Wives" pics for UK magazines and earn about 200 GBP (British pounds) a set for non exclusive. Anyone who wants this level of work we will shoot for around these prices. A solo set and video scene the ceiling will be 200 Euros. If you want me to shoot a girl fucking her boyfriend in the studio 300 to 500 Euros will do it, including our money. Depends on models.
Had a phone call from a magazine client recently who want us to shoot "Penthouse" style set and video with top models and top locations scenes, sets and video. Model for the day minimum 350 Euros + agent 20%, make artist 150 Euros, location could be 200 Euros (yes we could shoot it in the studio but not what's required), clothing also has to be bought 200 Euros.
Total cost 1000 Euros, I added 30 for lunch LOL.
We will shoot two scenes so each scene will
COST 500 Euros, the client will pay more. There will be a 5 man crew on the shoot. If you want this as a two girl add 520 Euros per girl. If you want it BG double the models costs and add 200 Euros per scene for a good boy. Don't even think of using a bad one in a scene like this. 1500 Euros cost. The total price depends on how much the shooters and models need the work.
At the moment content is not selling, exclusive or non exclusive so there are some good deals to be picked up. My advice is decide if you want content to fill the site or content to make the site. Give you content provider all the information you can and a fair price to shoot it. Tell him what you will pay and don't haggle like a Arab at a flea market.
So it's tough to give a price. Talk with the people you want to shoot it. Sadly after 8 years selling Internet content I feel most sponsors do not talk to the people they want shooting the content open enough. Probably trying to squeeze the price down. Remember someone will always shoot it cheaper.
