But good luck nonetheless. You're pretty vague about the purpose of this but best of luck. The pics you do have look great.
Max, as far as I know--and I photographed him less than nine months ago--is not front and center any more, and (as of May 2013) is just running his websites and not shooting new content.

Yes, some people who work behind the scenes aren't willing to pose--pretty much all the photographers I've asked have said no. I won't mention names, but some of them (three to be exact) post on GFY.

4. I suggest trying to get a pic of at least one or two boyfriends/husbands of some of the hottest pornstars. The average Joe out there would be shocked to see the losers the typical pornstar dates. (this coming from a guy who has dated a few, LOL) I am referring specifically to their suitcase pimps/guys who bring them to the shoot and pick them up ten seconds after you wrap the shoot.
Point #4 is an intriguing idea--I'd never considered that, but it would be fun to shoot one of those guys and title it, "Joe Blow, suitcase pimp". But I don't want to embarrass anyone with these portraits... but then again, there's probably a suitcase pimp who thinks that being a suitcase pimp is just too fucking cool.

Why? Because I'm a photographer, and that's what photographers do--shoot series: thematically and visually linked sets of image.

What's the purpose?
