This is purely a view from my experience. The money people will pay for it makes shooting custom or spending much time and money doing it wasted.

They all tell you how great a niche it is, until you ask them to pay for the product. Then it's not worth it.

As Mark says get the girls to do them themselves before you meet them. And offer to buy them. Maybe Mark would like to tell us what he will pay a shot for the content in his advert. That will give you a guideline to value.

And for those who think self shot is some brand new thing. Go look at Polaroid cameras and work out why they had a timed release. To give the person time to get in front of a camera, shooting a picture of yourself via a mirror isn't new. Buttman was doing it years ago. This whole niche is just an adaption of "Readers Girlfriends" that was out in the 70s.
