I am talking about exclusive custom offcourse.
Opinion is that you're vastly under pricing yourself. You can message me on ICQ if you want a more blatent explanation.
Hmm,sounds interesting really,but i always think i need to prove myself over and over,and this gay content is new for me and kinda even don't know real prices,that's why i offer afordable prices...to show customers i really can make good stuff for nice prices:)
Thanx for advice bro!will hit u up on ICQ also!:angel:
Stopped by your site - over 80% of model pics on both male and female are showing red x's.
Yeah that's true,i am having some problems with my server:(Quote:

Will move on another one during next weeek,and everything will be ok,if u need/want to see models just hit me up on ICQ and i will email u photos,thanx!:angel:
Sorry to hear that :(
I can wait til things are fixed up again ... just wanted to give you a heads up on the problem. I know I've put up a page, and I see the pictures because it's pulling them from my hard drive - but no one else sees them!
If you're looking for an excellent hosting firm, talk to Luke at www.chilihost.com
Thanx a lot Bec!Really nice words from u,problem will be fix asap:angel:
To be honest, IMHO thats a bit high.
Especialy when i can get hardcore shoots using US models (which we all know cost more than EU ones) for around $400 a shoot if i order more than 2 which, generally speaking, if you are ordering exclusive content, you should be doing.
Just my $0.02 :)

Underpricing?! This is amateur content, not pro quality.Quote:

As usual... Lee beats me by a minute!
I will break it down what typical cost of "amateur" productions are:Quote:

$300 per person x2 (minimum)
$150 per location x1 (minimum)
$150 per week spent on ads recruiting models.
$30 for drinks, food for models.
4-10 hours shooting per day.
Digital SLR cameras, 3-chip video cams, lighting that will make your content NOT look like shit = $8,000
This brings us to a grand total of $930, not including your time and depreciation on your investment in camera equipment. So tell me, how is charging $650 - $900 for a 1 hour hardcore production NOT underpricing?
For a 1 hour production, I will charge no less than $3,000. And that's a low-ball figure where I come from. There's a lot more time and effort that goes into a 1 hour production than you would imagine. Editing a 1 hour production takes approximately 4 hours alone, not to mention the minimum of 4 hours spent shooting the footage and prepping the models and locations. Add to that the time spent on the phone screening 20+ people a day for weeks straight to find ONE model you can actually use.
And for the record, all of my productions are considered "amateur".
Very interesting thread, i am still new but i hope to learn a lot.
Well Lee maybe...Quote:

It occurs to me that at some point, a photoshoot like this is going to be worth alot more than even $3,000 if it makes it into the distribution mainstream video market.
I'm just amazed out how many guys are willing to plunk down $50 for a dvd that would be considered amateur in production (as opposed to say a Vivid production), and buy not just one, but several.
Somebody out there is making a ton of money. My guess is that as a producer, it would be much more lucrative to start a production company and/or partner with a distributor and eliminate the middleman (webmaster) and keep full rights to his content.
Yeap,this content is worth a lot of more i know that but those prices fit my needs so i am ok to give it that cheap,thanx for interesting comments mate :howl:
I think it's in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, I would never spend over $500-750 all in (model fee plus photographer) on a shoot of one model unless that model were EXCEPTIONALLY cute... but then I know what it costs us to recruit and shoot a model.
And also, we typically wouldn't buy more than one or two shoots of a single model in a solo unless they are in vastly different settings (beach, woods, indoor, etc) and it appears to have been shot at a different time (setting, clothing, etc.) But that is just what our members seem to want; I know that other sites have other business models that make having several sets work well for them.
Two and three-ways are of course different... more time consuming to shoot, more complex to arrange, and the models have to be paid more... but they are also a lot more popular, at least with our audience.
Like anything else, I think that there is a huge range of cost and value. Some of that is due to quality and some just what a given photographer is able to demand for his services. I think that each content buyer and seller has to come to whatever arrangement s/he thinks will work for his or her particular situation.
$500-700 on one model...yeapo u r definitly right
Even our prices are not that high when we sell:)
But there is definitly a huge rang of costs and prices.
we just try to work our job and offer comfortable prices for our customers as long as as much as posible good quallity ;)
What if the content was not exclusive?
What would the costs be? I'm sure if you sold it to a few photo houses rather than to one site the cost would have to go down. But by how much?
Offcourse that prices goes down but we still haven't start with non-exclusive sales,still doing only exclusive custom work only :howl:
