6. How did you get started in the porn business?
|
Back in 1968 I was hitch hiking around Europe doing odd jobs to buy food and drugs. Got to Amsterdam and met a guy looking for extras to apear in a film about Vikings. I was six foot, well built with a lot of hair so fit the part.
When I got to the location I found out it was a porn film and got to join in on the orgy scene at the end. Did well enough that I was asked to come back and be in the next production a month later.
Then is the late then in 1977 the clothing factory I owned went bankrupt and turned to the only thing I knew would make us fast money off the books, the reciever had access to my bank account. It was then that I heard people pay good money for pictures of naked girls, via mail order. so shot some pics of my wife and a few girls I knew and put an advert in some mens magazines. Was amazed at how many times we sold a set of photographs and the profit margins.
100 GBP for the model, film and processing. Would shoot three rolls of 36 in different settings, get each roll printed 10 times. This would give me over 1,000 photographs that I sold for 10 GBP a set of 10. advertising was the main expense, but still a nice profit from very little work.
Then moved into the video market and the rest is history.
