Used to pay a lot of money for a single shot. I got some into The Sport and Sunday Sport, which didn't pay so well.

The Sun paid $2,000 and up for a single shot. Back in the 90s a few shooters would take 5-7 girls to Spain, Portugal, Canaries and shoot content. One of the shooters was a guy called Mick Miles. Would watch him work and it was a revelation. His technique was flawless. Lighting, shooting, directing models.

He would shoot the 1 or 2 girls he took on the trip in the afternoon, work for a few hours and make $10,000 and more. Page 3, Calenders, Advertising. Great market.

Harry Ormesher was another one. I think he must be dead now, he was 60 when I knew him. Always tuned up a meets with the hottest girls. Great guy as well.
