I said fuck it and moved back to Houston after 6 years in LA. I see potential models all over the place that 5 years ago I could easily recruit with all the money from content buyers. Now I have nothing to offer them I would have to hustle to get a couple of shoots for them and the pay rate would be way less than back then. Its not worth it on both ends to shoot content like we use to. Pretty sad but life goes on. I am going to shooting mainstream primarily as porn is an uncertain future for me. I would like to shoot porn part time but I don't even see it being worth it from what companies want to pay now. I have seen larger companies saying that they want non exclusive more and more because they can no longer afford to shoot exclusive.

Most companies have gone in house and buy their own gear so they can train interns that will work for almost nothing. I had a major client that had me train a whole crew then pulled me out because they didn't need me after that. I was warned this would happen by other shooters but I couldnt really tell them no. They offered to cut my pay in half as an option to stay on board but that kind of pay doesn't allow a one man company to stay afloat. There are a few guys still around that have big contracts and are still shooting but nothing lasts forever.
