Hello everyone,
I'm trying to break into adult model photography and am looking for some advice as to the best ways to operate in respect to finding work and models. Does anyone have any advice?
I have experience of photography in general and have examples on:

All advice is welcome.

Buy the magazines that most suit your style and study them, poses, lighting, sets, clothing etc.
Start by shooting an experienced adult model who can help you out with poses and ideas when you 'dry' (as you will, as we all did and still sometimes do) Someone like Faye Rampton on here will be ideal for you.
Then its just a matter of practicing your shooting and refining your style.
As for sales, like everyone else, its just a matter of hawking yourself around the editors, if they like your stuff, they'll use you, its that simple, there are no easy answers and backdoors.
And be prepared to pay for your models, whether practicing or not, Don't believe any of that 'mutual benefit/TFP' bullshit you'll hear at net-model.

Go to a forum we all use:
You'll get a lot of help and advise there. It's the best and friendliest forum of it's type. Quite a few of the models listed here post there when they're looking for work
At least you're on Net Model as a start, but there aren't many models who do adult work listed there. That is where all the togs looking for tfp go. They are banned from TMC
Also get a page at If you have the minimum paid membership you can access their serch engine which will be a great help.

By the way Gilzers you have a nice page on N-M
Having seen it and seeing you offering tfp, don't try that approch to adult work.. If you expect more than nude/art nude, then expect to pay the models...

Adult photography's a bit passe isn't it ?
Get yourself a video camera -unless you're one of those arty togs who gets terribly sniffy about video.
