This is only as I see the market and others might see it different. It might even be different. This is purely as we see the question.

Mostly magazines have stopped buying and reverted to using old sets. There are exceptions but very few are buying a lot.

UK
PRO still buy and the leading UK and US publisher. The work needs to be spot on and they are flooded with shooters trying to sell to them. No other UK publisher is really buying, one other takes in sets and even if they use them they are delaying payments.

US
Hustler still buy. The rest of the US has ground to a crawl or stopped buying. Some like Score have gone mostly in house unless you have something exceptional.

The days of shooting for magazines only are gone. Most of the shooters I know shoot for magazines, mobile and Internet. Mobile is big for some. It's an area where theft of content is very hard and that reflects in the profits.

Magazines are yesterday and most will not last for long. Be they porn or non porn.
