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.
