Are picture sites finished?

[DannyCox]

We've always done both pictures and video, but the pictures have always been secondary. People tend to join our sites for the quality video content.

Fetish style sites are a bit different as a lot of people into all that like the high quality images as much of what happens with the "Fetish Posing" just doesn't translate well to video. But that really depends on the Fetish involved. Some people like the outfits and high-end toys, others could care loess about that and just want to see action.

There will always be a demand for well shot images, but it is becoming it's own style of niche.

There are people who still like pictures. especially if its not hardcore. I know a very very very niche site who does well and all he has are pictures no video.

Still good for promotion IMHO. And certain niches really need them IE- glamuor model type sites.

You don't know how often as a blog writer I have to skip a program or a site because they don't have decent promotional stills for a scene. These guys have the original video (shot in some form of HD) how much would it kill them to pull 10 or 20 frames out of it so that we have some decent sized stills to work from? Tiny little 300x200 video capture thumbs are NOT going to work.

Still images are important parts of the promotional process, those programs and producers who understand this will benefit from the extra exposure and sales. As part of a paysite, they are at best a free bonus for must subjects, except perhaps very niche fetish stuff.
