Re: I need help with a photo
yeah it's called TFP, which means trade for prints/time for prints. they pay you in photos. they also keep the negatives and get to use them for their own purposes, which might mean using them in a portpholio, putting them on a website, putting them in a gallery, and so on.
as to how to get involved in that, it probably wont be hard since it seems like 75% of all adult photographers are trying to get away with doing TFP instead of paying their models right now. at least that's how it is where i am (portland, OR). i don't really know how to tell you how to find photographers. here they advertise in the back of the free local weekly newspaper, and in the local sex industry magazine
as far as agendas, decisions, and hair, it will probably depend on the photographer and what he plans to do with the photos. be upfront and tell him that you want a say in all that stuff. tell him what you're going to do with your copies, and if you have any specific ideas about themes, costumes, etc.
i'm in the process of writing a detailed how-to about adult modeling. if you'd like, i could email you what i've got at this point.
Re: I need help with a photo
Check out onemodelplace.com. Many photographers there will do TFP and do great work. It's also a great place to promote yourself with your own portfolio.
Re: I need help with a photo
There has been lots written on other like posts covering this same question. Go to the local University and speak to the art departments photographer.
He/she should be able to use you as a model with a class of students or find you a ligit photographer who will trade your time for his time.
Most instructors love a outside project and will allow you to do your own thing (hair,makeup, outfits, setting). You need to hussle as school is out soon and summer programs are weeks away from being started.
I model 2-4 times a year for the local university photographers and have a blast. they love having a real model to work with and treat me with great respect.( and they feed me chocolate)

Re: I need help with a photo
I'm starting out as a videographer and I do something like that. I will shoot video for free in exchange that I get to use it to promote myself when I get my business going.
