Yes we were probably one of the top producers or teen magazine set producers in the 2000s.
The hardest part for us was finding the cute girls, fortunately in Czech we had a good supply of them. I had learned my trade of shooting in the UK and hit the ground running here. Eventually building a team of 4 shooters. Eva, Katka, Jana and me.
The key was to supply an editor with a set of 120 to 200 stills from which he could pull 10to 30 shots out of all different, different from other sets in the magazine and all hitting the nail. Sometime a shot would turn out right and sometime not right, he would look at 3-4 frames on a sheet of slides, going to 2-3 sheets and make a decision to keep or reject the set.
Then it went into his in box and later when he was compiling the magazine he wold look at the sets in his in box again to select the shots for printing. If it passed you were paid on publication, if it failed you got the set back.
Sales were of the same set to license magazine publication in different countries for the First Rights, so the shooter earned multiple time off the same set. The areas of licensing were wide. US, UK, EU, Holland, AU, Japan, second rights which means a year after publication of First rights it could be licensed again to magazines, Phone lines, Calendar, Internet sites, etc. Making $3,000 off a decent set wasn't hard. Even making $400 off shots on a casting wasn't hard. Better than any EXgf site will pay.
If you shoot a video with the set, there the possibility of more sales. Never got into shooting a single custom solo girl scene at $500 for someone else to own. For obvious reasons.
I still kept diversifying and adapting, it was part of the business training I have received through my years working.
The problem with so many in online porn is they can't adapt. Now with this market in decline they're left to adapt in rough times with a failing income supporting them. But seem to point out how I got it so wrong.
