Adult modeling
Hello Im new here at MM. Hi yall! Well Ill get to it: I am considering going into adult modeling. I dont mind being naked I just dont want to work with a bunch of wierdos. People are wierd anyways but I like to keep stuff professional. What are some types of adult modeling? I know most include nude or semi-nude. Is there anything else I need to know? Thanks ModelMayhemers! Jun 27 05 02:50 pm Link By "Adult" do you mean PORN or Glamour type work? Big difference between both of those. Jun 27 05 03:22 pm Link Good point: Bascially Im willing to do solo, g/g, b/g (im not sure if that involves sex-which I wouldnt be cool with), lingerie, glamour......am I missing anything else. Let me know...be honest. Jun 27 05 03:28 pm Link I do erotic art types of stuff- mostly fetish and trash glam.. I also like high art pin-up and splatter gore nudes. Nude work isn't really full of all the weirdos and pervs you'd expect if you go to the right places... and as long as you're keeping it artistic ;-* ~C~ Jun 27 05 03:29 pm Link Posted by Nicole P: whoa- whole new can of worms! hahaha... Jun 27 05 03:32 pm Link What it "Involves" is exactly what your willing to do. Dont ever let yourself get pushed into doing something you do not want to do. If you post something just be sure to put in there that you are not willing to do "PORN", just posing with. Do not be shy about portraying that point to the thick headed people either, and dont feel bad about it if you have to do that. Jun 27 05 03:35 pm Link Posted by Chaotika: *Aaaacccck stepping on worms!!* hehe Jun 27 05 03:50 pm Link anytime- and happy to help  if you have any ???s feel free to ask- I do nude modeling work all the time... actually, i have 4 shoots this week in that vein. I reccomend FIRST finding a photog to do some tfp with you, or pay a good photog to help build your portfolio. You get back what you put in in this business i wish you the best of luck in your carreer! xoxox ~C~ Jun 27 05 03:54 pm Link Posted by Nicole P: I think the most important thing is to speak with the photographer first, ask questions about what he/she expects, get details and use their responses to try and judge for yourself if whether or not they seems "creepy". Make sure everything is agreed upon before the shoot and like Peter said, don't be shy about getting anything across to thick headed people if they try anything you aren't comfortable with. Jun 27 05 03:55 pm Link Posted by Nicole P: WOW! Jun 27 05 04:15 pm Link Theres an uglier brother....uglier?? Yea I am a bit naive ...is why I ask all these questions if I dont I get msyelf into trouble.  I was willing to do it...until I found out what they were. *shuts eyes* Guess I wont be doing those now that I know. All the advice is very much appreciated  Jun 27 05 04:27 pm Link I am seeking models that are interested in having thier own exotic web sites developed. Notice I said models, not just any woman that is willing to take off her clothes. I want to creat ART, not smutt. Check me out http://www.IntenseMediaDev.com Jun 27 05 04:33 pm Link not sure the last post helps any.... Nicole best thing to do is to find stuff out, and make sure what people say isn't always in general terms, can be confusing. have limits, know them, inforce them even if you don't run around shoving them in peoples faces, can cause people to scratch their heads i get a lot of models going I don't do b/g and i'm like how did that even enter a conversation about Casual Editorial photos? Keep you're head above water  Jun 27 05 04:37 pm Link Honestly, girlie, you are new to the modeling world, you're cute, and you're not all tatted and pierced to hell like I am Why not start with the tamer stuff? like fashion, editiorial, etc? You are too short for runway, but you can still do print work, and maybe model clothes for petite clothing lines and stuff like that. There's all kinds of work out there that you can do. The longer you hold yourself back from doing nude work, the more valuable it is when you finally *DO* decide to do it. I say, build your port, start networking, and try doing fully clothed stuff going to bikini in the beginning. I don't really advise starting with nudes, because you're gonna end up selling yourself short. I did a national print ad campaign with Sketchers when I was 14. I did various runway shows in L.A. with big companies before I started doing anything nude... and if I'd have stuck with that other stuff, hell, i might be living very comfortable by now.. i just like getting tattoos and crap lolJun 27 05 04:45 pm Link Red flag. Doesn't know anything about the industry, but knows the buzzwords and abbreviations? I don't buy it. Jun 27 05 04:47 pm Link Posted by Chris Ambler: who? certainly not me... Jun 27 05 04:49 pm Link Posted by Chris Ambler: Huh? what are we buying...? Jun 27 05 05:05 pm Link Posted by Chris Ambler: Yes I spend my time asking naive questions b/c I have time to waste like that. I ask b/c I want to know who else better to ask than a bunch of experienced models willing to take their time to write a helpful answer for a newbie? Jun 27 05 05:20 pm Link because when you finally do nudes you can charge more, if you already have a fanbase and what not. and really, knowing the terms solo,g/g,b/g, doesn't mean too much, does it? they post these ticker poxes on alot of model port websites with those in them... i generally take that as my cue not to join Doesn't OMP have them too, tho? ~C~ Jun 27 05 05:25 pm Link Posted by Chris Ambler: Seems to me if you spend some time reading model profiles on OMP you can pick up a ton of those abbreviations and still not know the details ... I buy it. Jun 27 05 05:31 pm Link Posted by Joe Kozlowski: Me too. Jun 27 05 06:00 pm Link Posted by Joe Kozlowski: Posted by Chris Ambler: Seems to me if you spend some time reading model profiles on OMP you can pick up a ton of those abbreviations and still not know the details ... I buy it. can i buy a vowel? Jun 27 05 06:44 pm Link Nicole, I don't know Chaotika, but she has just given you the BEST advice you will get from anyone in her series of posts. Follow her advice and you will do just fine. Chaotika, my hat is off to you for taking the time to give a new model such valuable advice. Jun 27 05 09:38 pm Link plus before getting in the modeling business you should gain experiance in knowing yourself and get experiance in posing. get to know photographers, and how things work. Jun 27 05 09:58 pm Link Posted by Nicole P: Posted by Chris Ambler: Yes I spend my time asking naive questions b/c I have time to waste like that. I ask b/c I want to know who else better to ask than a bunch of experienced models willing to take their time to write a helpful answer for a newbie? well i certainly do adult work... but i keep it tasteful and very often the model is fully covered... but Federal Law says what i do can be seen to be obscene... go figure... Jun 27 05 10:06 pm Link Posted by Jim Goodwin: awwww... thank you! I am blushing now Jun 28 05 01:12 am Link Sounds to me that you are comfortable doing what we in this business call "Playboy" style nudes. The references of "solo, g/g, b/g, etc" are commonly referred to as "Hustler" style nudes. If you are promoting nude work I in any of your online portfolios I would probably stick to referencing glamour nudes, fine art nudes, nudes (playboy style only), I have seen some models also put the reference of "simulated" . . .kinda like some models saying they will do nudes, but then actually saying in the comments "implied nudity only".... Keep in mind that you are the model, and you have every right to have limitations on what you will and won't do on camera. From a photographers standpoint, just make sure that you are very specific about these items prior to the day of an actual shoot. That way no one wastes anyone's time or money. You can't lose with great communication. Good luck with your modeling.

If you date someone new and on your first date you proceed to have sex, there is a very good chance that you will be known as someone that has sex on the first date, and be approached only by those seeking that. Jun 28 05 09:06 am Link Might have read them somewhere and made her own assumptions about what they meant... Posted by Chris Ambler: Jun 28 05 01:09 pm Link To get into adult modeling, I would have to see your resume. lmao Jun 28 05 01:11 pm Link My standard advice to anyone considering modeling nude and certainly in the more graphic genres is to remember that the photographs NEVER GO AWAY and can come back to haunt you later. Be certain you don't plan a career that would be hurt by your pictures showing up in the newspaper or company website. Also be certain in your own mind that you won't mind your children and grandchildren seeing your pictures. They never ever go away. Jun 28 05 03:07 pm Link FYI...new U.S. regulations require that all *adult* producers/publishers/websites have a copy of the model's ID on file. That means if you pose for JoeBlow Productions and JoeBlow sells your images to another webiste. Joe Blow and that website need your ID on file. It doesn't stop there. Since the website needs traffic, it will very likely make banners for advertisement on about 50 other websites. If your image is used on one of those banners, guess what.... those 50 webmasters will also need your ID on file. Are you prepared to reveal your real name and address to all of those people?
