Photographer needs advice

[Scooty]

Hi everyone, I shoot for www.ebonyeve.com and I thought I may start an adult content business and I want to know what you think is a good area to get into or stay away from as far as providing content goes. I will probably be doing solo girl shots mainly. Should I try to do custom shoots for webmasters?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

shoot, shoot ,shoot

There are a lot of different ways to go. You can shoot straight content for many sites or nich, exclusive content. If you can come up with something different. Somebody will buy it. Nich markets are very popular right now. My advise, see what kinds of content you can get from these girls and just try to sell that. I'd only try yo stay away from anything that could be construde as illegal. Remember to get model releases from each of these girls too. In case the feds are ever on your ass.

Thank you Frank. I agree, a niche is great, seems like there is nothing left to discover thou.

1. price it right. not too high.

2. don't pass off 30 year old with strecth marks as teens

3. and for god sake's no 30-something women in cheerleader uniforms!!!

be creative in what you shoot, i buy a couple of hundred dollars in content a month and i know myself and others are tired of seeing models that look like strippers, wearing platform shoes all sorts of make up, etc. sure there is a market for it, but there is a market for all sorts of content, too. it is hard to get natural looking girls in everyday poses. i know i can never get my g/f to strip buck naked and sit on the dining room table with her fingers spreading her snatch as many content providers would have you believe ever girl does.

That is good quality work. We have been getting a lot of requests for ebony content, that might be one good niche for you in itself.

Yeah I would stick with a niche.

Also if you can get a lot of models for good prices, you should try doing exclusive shoots for good prices for webmasters. There are a lot of places that do exclusive shoots but charge way too much. Good luck

Is there a good thread somewhere that would help me in selling sets to webmasters as far as what they can and can't do? To keep webmasters from selling my work?

Thanks again for all the advice, if anyone is interested in some custom shoots let me know. I do this part time, so I wouldn't be able to supply thousands of images weekly.

Let me know what you pay for custom shoots so I can price accordingly and for sure a bit cheaper. I would like to establish a working relationship with some webmasters.
