In porn we don't have the time nor the luxury. The best porn guys can compromise well and walk that fine line of quality and trash. The imperfections need to be photoshopped. And no girl...I mean no girl is perfect.
The extreme end of this is Maxim which it a total impossiblilty. |
And the thing about maxim, playboy, etc is they are only looking for maybe a dozen pictures per month.
Ideally we're doing anywhere from 40 to 100+ images per set (depending on niche), and doing updates at least twice a week.
But I'm starting to question how many surfers are still out there looking for the stills. My lazy side would love to just shoot video and grab a few stills right out of the video footage.
