Hi All, Given the fact we now have download films,bundles and online streaming I wondered what thew feeling for both female and male WAM whether photosets are still something people would buy? I ask because often when we are going out and I'm dressed up or Mike and I are having playtime we naturally end up taking photo's rather than messing about with the video camcorder. Also we take lots of close ups of feet when bare,in nylons,in shoes,sandals etc my hands and feet tied,plus surprise pies I get etc So just trying to get an idea if people would like to see those pics/buy those pics and of so how much is the right price to justify the time it takes to upload them etc Maybe let us know in the comments how many pics you would like for what price etc? Also what genres? Also do you want clean pics as well as messy including the outfits I don't want to get messy? Be glad of your feedback. Thanks in advance Jessie x
Seems like I am in the minority here but I am a frequent buyer of affordably priced photosets, as long as they are of good quality (professionally taken with a camera and not just HQ screencaps of a video),offer a slightly different perspective of what you see on a video, and are affordably priced ($5 would be the absolute max I would ever spend on a photoset, though most of the ones I have bought have been in the $2-$4 range, I believe)...
Some producers who do this really well (and who I have bought multiple photosets from) include Messymayhem, CandyCustard, and GirlsGetGunged nee GlamourGunge...

Thanks for the info. So taking $3 as the average price how many photo's would you expect to get for that?
Quite a lot of people have voted so thanks. Currently if you take out my vote and Mike's vote it's 14 No's 15 Yes's with yes's split 8 under $5 and 7 up to $10. So my main question now is how many photo's do people expect to receive in a photoset under $5 and how many for $10? Also does it make any difference if I had amazing expert magazine cover style photos done with an expert photographer with special effects etc (so the photographer/studio hire would cost me a lot) or there no market for those?
Taking the economics point first, I'm really not sure, as that's down to what it's costing you! I'd suggest 60-70 images feels about right for a photo-set - any more and it takes too long to scroll through - and around £5, as they are still images rather than a film. However, that's just me guessing - if those figures don't match with the production costs your end then please ignore them!
Like most (I suspect) I prefer films, but there is nonetheless a retro-like attraction to photo-sets, just like vinyl (or even cassette now!) over digital music. I really do like the sets that Tony Hill does of his private sessions with Kacie James or Axa Jay, and would be interested in any ones that you did.
In fact, I know that your sets should be good because you did do them for a while back in about 2011/12, as I've still got a couple of zip files of the lovely Sarah getting messy. They were bundled with the film version of particular scenes and were mostly on the "Jessie's Pied Girls" spin-off that you had at the time. The quality was very good, so anything that matches that would be great. However, I think I'm right in saying that the reason they stopped is because you got fed up with the photographer (who briefly had a profile on here and used to post on your threads), but if Mike's doing them this time then that won't be a problem!
Anyway, a few samples attached below (including a gorgeous one of you in your famous white suit) to give an idea of what those photos looked like for anyone who didn't see them at the time.
Thanks. All useful info. Yeah the less said about THAT ex-photographer the better. Ok well there is some interest in the photo's. I suppose we need to work out effort and time versus income!
I think Pic sets can be great even sexier than Vids when done right. I would pay between 5 and 10 quid for good ones
WAM princess use to do some great pic sets with the most wonderful expressions - some sexy, some serious, some goofy - all wonderful
We've had a taste of your pics and they are fab. The 'fake' splosh magazine cover, man city blue pies (I think that''s what they were). I would love to see a full pic set with pies, face & bare soles, expressions etc.

You've got one buyer here anyway!
Thanks. Yeah it is interesting the response we are getting and more people now are saying they would buy photo sets. We just need to think of the economics etc

There are a lot of variables but in general if it's a photoset that has an accompanying video (sold separately), I would expect around 50 photos or so for that price...are you considering doing photos along with a video or just photo-only sets?

I think the answer would be both. The question came about because sometimes when I get a new outfit or whatever we quite enjoy doing photo's. Also sometimes we are just playing about with me getting tied up or I get a surprise pie or we want to test something out and it seems a waste not to get photo's. So because that means we have a lot of photo's plus historically I have a couple of photosets I wondered if there was a reciprical benefit in selling them so you guys get a nice product and we get extra income. Re. photosets when filming it's a bit harder to do. We quite like filming in one go with as little editing needed as possible plus going handheld to get better close ups. So we've incorporated Mike or me taking pics into the plot of some films (esp 'humiliation' ones. The other option is screencaps. The other option is stop filming and take pics which is quite hard to do if the photographer has messy hands plus if the mess on me or the other models is cold we are running out of time to get it all done. Obviously getting a separate photographer,more expensive camera's etc will all improve our work but to be honest income from clip sales is so much less than it used to be so it's hard to justify.
Oh if there were packages of 50 photo's of mixed content would you like that as opposed to one photoshoot? Do you like only messy/only wet/only feet/only bondage etc or a combo of all? I'm sure we'll do 'something' re. stills and packages. Maybe we could see how we go or maybe put them into the film bundles for extra value!
Although I voted no on the photos, I would like to say that I would prefer a small number of very high res images over a large number of medium ones. Basically quality over quantity.

Very sorry I missed this Bob. Thanks for the input. Ok just to say thanks to everyone who answered. That was a terrific response. We're going to do 'something' at 'some' point re. photo's but I'm not sure exactly what. I think we may well have a variance in quality to start with to try out different typers and may do some mixed photo packages. I am actually off to do a wetlook shoot in Germany next week with an amazing photographer so I'm going to ask him a lot of questions about photography! Thanks again. Jessie xx
