BE VERY CAREFUL! There are lots of "photographers" out there that may try to push you father then your limits or may try to hurt you. ask security questions. beware of anyone who emails you very unprofesinally. In return be professinal, you will get more respect and guys who may be preying on niave girls will see you as too difficult and give up. NEVER EVER give any personal information untill absouluty nessasary (like when they have to copy your ID) Never meet them at your home. The adress on my id isnt the one where I live, really the only info on there thats true is my dl # and my real name. I don't give out my phone number and when i call them its from my cell which has an out of state #.
some security questions:
Can I see your profile/portfolio?
Do you have a website?
Where has your work been published?
Where are you located?
Can I bring a friend to the shoot? (if they say no, automatic red flag)
if they are heasitient to awnser any question that should alert you that something may be wrong. or they might just be forgetful. sometimes they have a reasonable awnser to the friend one. like they have had problems in the past or something. still... they should always tell you the city they are in and be more then thrilled to show you their work.
Make sure to work out agreements before the shoot so you know what you are doing and for what. one time a guy offered me one thing in one email then changed it to something worthless the next. jerk. Also remember in this buisness like in most of life if it seems to good to be true it might just be.
If you want more information and resources I can give them to you. just pm me anytime.
and if you remember just one thing: BE CAREFUL!
Many mags have an email, or publication address. Why not write them and send in a few polaroid shots of face and body! Wait for a message before sending pictures, i would.
Like Playboy, they have an address to send photos of yourself in. They will get back to you if they are interested.

I agree with Pamela. Send some pics into the magazines and see what happens..
Or find out about casting calls in or around your area. I have done Playboy's Special Editions mags and I got into it just by going to an open casting. Playboy has lots of em, check out their website for more info.
Thank you all for helping me out , it is greatly apreciated since I realy am clueless about this. But at least now I have some ideas. Thanx :)
Also, I was wonderin if any1 knows the address to hustler magazine, I tried looking it up in the computer and came up with nothing. Or names and addresses of fetsh/s&m type mags. Ok, thanx again.
I have been a photographer/videographer for years...seen it all
If it doesnt feel right at all, DONT GO and NEVER GO to a first session alone, if you must be alone make the photographer meet you somewhere neutral first
NEVER do anything like bondage, etc with someone you don't know and ONLY work with an incorporated firm...never "just a guy that sells porn" - that translates to "smart guy found easy way to get laid"
I usually do my shoots at the model's location (I have a studio but think she will feel safer on "her turf" or a hotel than my big old house with thick walls). I expect and invite her to bring a friend or two...to sit in the next room or in the studio at her option. Everything is in writing..and she leaves with a CD of all her images (I keep one for my records as well)
I do REQUIRE (*and wonder about any photog that does not*) 2 forms of age identification, one with picture. And if you will be doing any sex on camera (with talent you provide or otherwise) then I need current STD tests on all parties and a disclaimer of liability.
Yea, im a little over the top on security...but in this business you can't be too careful
Be careful and keep in touch
Hi promarket, well I was wondering if u knew about where to go to pose for hustler or any biker type of mags???
only thing i can tell you is to buy a copy of the magazine (at your local news stands) or whereever te sell it ...i'm sure you can find some info inside the back or somewhere in the mag ........
Hustler magazine in particular is now partnered with the DejaVu chain of dance clubs. A lot of their model shots now originate with dancers who work in Hustler or DejaVu clubs.
I can help with getting into the magazines...just email me (this is the photographer formerly known as ProMarket)'
