    Default Sexy Pics

    Since we've been on the subject of photo editing and what not lately I was wondering about the pic sets you ladies. I know there are the amateur web cam ones but for the good ones do you ladies book shoots say every 6 months or just get a nice camera and do it yourselves? I used to have a friend who photograph me but they don't live in the area anymore so some pic sets and a couple of vids usually set me back about $600-$700 now.
    I was thinking of making my own content then routinely scheduling a photo shoot to update my sites but I really need to be selling content to make a profit while putting out that much money. Ashley Fire's pics and videos all look really nice and she does amazing on C4S http://www.clips4sale.com/studio/5177


    P.S. Only mentioning her cause she is the cover model for C4S and obviously does very well

    Oh man, I had a huge post all written out, and the chrome up and crashed! Probably because I was so wordy.

    As I see it, you have four options.

    1. Do it yourself.

    Look into some basic photography classes. Like if there's a community college in your city. They'll probably have something. Get a tripod and a camera and learn how to use them to take pictures of yourself. Learn about basic lighting.

    http://www.youtube.com/user/OliviaTechVideos this lady has some excellent vids, and she's very helpful! You could even pm her with questions if you needed to.

    2. Get a Photography Student to help

    Photography students won't turn down practice. And I'm pretty sure the male ones won't turn down practice shooting sexy photos. You get your photos, he gets his practice, and you're not out of cash. May want to tip him, though. Poor guy has to eat!

    3. Continue paying out the nose for pics. And, 4. Stop doing pics alltogether

    These options suck.

    Edit:

    Also, most models need a little retouching! No shame, no shame, it's just, Photoshop is expensive! So use Gimp. http://www.gimp.org/ is a freeware alternative to Photoshop. Be sure to check out the plug-in registry for scripts and photo effects that can really make your pics pop! The National Geographic Script http://registry.gimp.org/node/9592 is a personal favorite. Anything by the user elsamuko is usually good.

    or, if you dont mind that your photos will be used later, you can always find someone who does stock photography and is willing to shoot you for free (that is, in exchange for a signed model release). there are really awesome photographers out there who do that.

    I'm always seeing photographers on craigslist looking for models to shoot for their portfolio in exchange for your photos on a CD. Just be very careful on craigslist, there's some creepers on there for sure.

    Yeah I was thinking about craigslist but afraid of the creepy creepers lol. I have a camera but its really hard to take pics of yourself because you need to get in just the right position then run back and turn the timer on, then run back and hope your back in the right spot lol. Tried that and it didn't work too well for me. Hmmm...I may do my own for now with my web cam and scout out some students. Thanks for telling me about GIMP =) I usually use Photoscape and use the bloom and clear skin setting but wanted something more advanced. Was looking for a program like adobe where I could use a mask to do some better editing (without shelling out $799) and I think this is it! I'm really excited to try it. How do you add new scripts though? I'm kinda confused about that.

    Thanks for your responses everyone!

    I have it I just need a key code that works lol. So far no luck with that =(

    And a lighter note....GIMP freakin rocks for a free program. For a free program I'm surprised how close it comes to CS5

    Sheesh, I agree. Taking pictures of yourself, by yourself, is so difficult. I guess you could just film with an HD cam and take stills from that?

    Gimp's really nice and I've been using it a long time. I believe there's even a video extension, where you can convert clips into .gifs. Might be good for promotion?

    Plug-ins are installed by unzipping the downloaded file (if it's a .zip or .rar) and C:\Document and Settings\<username>\.gimp-<version>\plug-ins\. Usually, anyway :/

    Default Re: Sexy Pics

    I do my own. I have a remote (sometimes I have to put it between my toes, or ummm behind a dildo), lights, umbrellas, and a different tripod for the flash so I can play with lighting.

    I was a photog before I started camming so it's not like I had to run out get a bunch of equipment and learn how to use it. I think it's pretty rewarding to do them by myself, and also I enjoy the freedom to say "I think I'm hot right now..." and set up for a pro shoot in a matter of minutes.

    It's also nice that ONLY I see the ones that end up thrown away.

    AAAH! No, no craigslist! Craigslist is bad and scary!!!

    Seriously though - if you want to go the route of having someone do some TF (trade for - trading modelling for photos) shoots, sign up to ModelMayhem. It is a site specifically designed to hook up models, photographers, MUAs, designers, etc. A lot of people will do adult stuff, and there are reviews, so you can see who has worked with lots of girls before and who seems completely new and creepy.

    I am in the process of experimenting with DIY stuff....trying to take videos and take stills. Its a frustrating process, but I am sure that I will get the hang of it, and then it is free, simple, fast, and I know that no one else has any nude pics of ME!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.
