Question from a photographer...

Bill, Emmanuelle is right: This isn't to discourage you, but you have to look at the business in the light of what the consumer (ie: paysite owner or free site builder) is willing to pay for content.

If the girls cost you $150 an hour with a 3 hour minimum, then you need to structure your shooting to obtain the most product in that given time. Have all your setups ready to go, keep things simple, keep your lighting general, perhaps shoot video at the same time (behind the scenes at the photo shoot) and so on. You have to find ways to make your situation make money, either by changing the costs or changing your end product.

If your setup time is too long, or you time per set is too high, there is no way to make the money you need to turn a profit in the game. You might also have to look in other places to find models, more amatuer than pro, in order to keep your bottom line reasonable.
