Having never done a 'pro shoot' I must bow to your experience (and say that I've enjoyed all of your productions). In my 'private shoots' lately I have tried to have a storyline to give some sense to the proceedings rather than simply pouring stuff over each other in turn. However that turns out to be idealistic in that the 'fun element' takes over and the thread is lost, - usually by me, because the models, being professionals, try their best to keep to the script.
I would very much like to take part in a professional shoot to have it in my CV but realise that such a thing would not be viable due to the unacceptability of male wam (especially by such an old man!).
It would however be an interesting exercise to combine the two genres and do a private session under the conditions of a pro shoot with a 'proper' director and crew.
Opinions???
