The idea of sharing what created my business so others could steal it is so alien to my thinking. I never told anyone what it was. I did show pictures though because they sold my content and people didn't understand the secret behind my success, well not those on the boards other magazine photographers did.
The industries highest earners for content creators is new faces. Girls who haven't been spread far and wide. Be it amateur BBW ebony niche or Playboy new faces sell. Also new faces 18-22 sell bloody fucking great. So Eva, Jana, Katka and I spent two days or more a week looking for new faces. Then three days shooting them. Roughly speaking.
First time I met Stefan and his partner they showed me their work. They were poor shooters, as I was when I came into the business, wrong poses, poor lighting, etc. What I didn't tell them was to stop going to agents to get models, because I was sending girls to agents after I had shot the girls to death.
Magazine photographers here, who knew me well, said when they met me "Did you leave anything on the bone for us?" They even phoned me and asked if I had shot the girl.
