Hey,
I am new here and wondering if anyone shoots stills only and not video as well? I have just done a shoot with Lorne at babezest and that is the sort of work I am looking for if anyone has any?
I work up to solo levels and G/G with friends.
I have been offered lots of published work but nearly all want video masterbating and I am not doing that
I am supposed to be doing two sets for fiesta in june with a guy who doesn't want video but that is the only published stuff I will have done, IF he shows up lol
Love to hear from any genuine people who would like to work with me for their websites or published stuff.
Thanks

hey,
Sorry i forgot to say! I am based in Essex, colchester and Clacton-on-sea but more than happy to travel. You can find me on model sites under anna21. I found this site and thought i would try because all you get on the others are timewasters and amateurs wanting more than i do. Fingers crossed less of that on here? xx

The Professional industry revolves around video, there are very few published jobs that dont involve video, even the better magazine jobs need video.
Looks like your a pretty enough girl and should have no trouble getting minor web/ amateur jobs, but if your looking for published adult work at a decent standard, there is little available that does not involve video and that won,t be changing anytime soon:)

Well thats disapointing to hear
but I was starting to get that impression anyway! Thankyou Ian. Guess I am going to have to re-think my career options then! I have been offered lots of work but ALL want at least one hour adult video which I promised myself I am not going to do. I did my first shoot last month for someone that I thought was stills and turned out to be video and if I hadn't had to drive for 5 hours to get there and spent all my money doing so I would NOT have done it. I really did not feel good when finished after the job because I was enjoying modelling until then. You live and learn I guess.
I LOVE your work by the way, very classey and just the sort of thing I was looking for. I have seen twistys and sites like it and really wanted to try and find how to get on them, but if they only do video too then thats that I guess
Thankyou again anyway for your advice X

Anna,
IainT is quite right.
These days any work that does not include/require video is as rare as hens teeth.
For example, take a look at Met Art (). The photography on this site is absolutely stunning with over 1.4 million photos in over 12,00 photosets but they still have video (in excess of 1000).
So I would agree that you may have to re-think your strategy as too what you are going to do with your modelling career i.e. grit your teeth and embrace video or stick with smaller amateur jobs that don't require it.
As you are close enough to videokim, I would suggest you take up her offer of advice and get in touch with her.
Good luck with whatever you do anyway.
Myson

Do think very carefully before you decide what to do.Remember,once it on the internet,it'll be there forever and nobody can remove it completely.

Thanks everyone, and thanks Kim X I am actually in colchester but work in clacton and have use of a good friends home and small studio in his back garden whenever I want it. He was in the business himself for years up until about 5 years ago and he is out of touch with how video work has gone so mad too!
Well I shall stick to my guns anyway, because the first big job I did was video (when I thought it was stills) and I did not like it. If it wasn't for travelling for 5 hours and spending my money to get there I would have turned round and come home. I decided to do because I needed the cash and vowed I will not do masterbation on video again. I am not dissing it, just not for me and i know that will sound strange to some, that I am happy to do for stills, enjoy in-fact, just not video.
Anyway, thankyou again everyone
I have had a few emails from here too, and once again, mostly wankers wanting precisely what I say I won't do! lol
