what is the hardest part depends on your personality. i'm not shooting masturbation, but there is a lot of repetition in what we shoot. i am very involved in getting a good combination of closeups, medium and full body shots with the smoothest zooms and pans i can do plus working to make the video look good in every way, so that's pretty interesting to me.

if a model has trouble getting or keeping it up, seems like it would be better to let him watch a video if a magazine isn't doing it for him and he isn't enough of an exhitiionist to keep it up with the fantasy of being seen by thousands.

as far as pics, we use a good quality NON DSLR because it doesn't make noise which can distract amateur models.
