General question about becoming an adult industry photographer - GoFuckYourself.com

I apologize if this has been covered, although I did do searches and really did not find much to answer the question.
I could be totally naive but I'm hoping someone would be kind enough just to point me in the right direction.

I am a pro photographer and have been for many years. I'm interested in the adult industry for a few reasons. I photograph people. Fashion, musicians. I am attracted to subjects that have swagger/attitude.
1. Erotica is something out of the "norm" that I think would allow me to shoot some very interesting people.
2. Just being honest, I love nudity and find sex and sexuality fascinating.

I have no desire to start a website (like Zishy.com which I think is really brilliant) I just want to be a photographer.

I'm not sure where or how or who sites like Met (they have a ton of sites now) and Amourangels.com stuff like that actually get there content.

I photographed one girl who told me she didn't like having to always fly to a photographer and wishes that I could just shoot. I tried to contact people to see if this was possible and I did not get much of an answer.

So the question is: Who is choosing photographers? Is there any way to be discovered? Are there photo agents that deal with adult jobs like commercial agents?

If I need to get more content what should I expect to pay for a model? I have always been sought after and never had to hire a model. For pro commercial jobs I am educated with that even though the client is footing the bill for models.

Thank you for any words of wisdom.
My site is in signature but that is a pen name for more erotic work.
Please PM me to see my pro site.
Again, thanks for any info and I apologize if this might be in the wrong section or just a dumb ass question.
Google, BTW has not been my friend when it comes to this.

My opinion... You are too late to the party. Most now shoot now on high end HD ( or better) cameras and getting a still suitable for internet galleries from the digital file is easy...Photographers are the thing of the past as are VHS tapes....sorry to say.

Is there an email on your tumblr?
By the way, you already shoot art nudes.
Do they sell?
