Now onto the next phase. What style to shoot? This is easy to answer. Look under your bed get out all the porno mags and ask yourself "What do I like" If you do not have any STOP. Think about it, would you buy a steak cooked by a vegetarian? Gays shoot gay content; boob guys shoot big tits, etc. This is what you understand and if you haven't had many years reading and "enjoying" porno mags, how the hell are you going to produce something for anyone else to enjoy. Or worst still if there is no magazine produced with your fantasy, there are two reasons. It's so off the wall as to appeal to such a small number of people it's not worth publishing or IT'S VERY ILLEGAL!!
However if your fantasy is one of those that are just for a small number, the Internet is ideal. Sites can exist on a membership of 100 members. Try searching for that fetish, before going any further. See what is out there and how well it's done and think "How can I do it better and different". If you are doing this, purely to make money and no interest in what you produce, other than money. Be careful the porn game is a minefield for these guys; they do not understand what it's about. The consumer does and will not buy what is not right. Our thing is 18+ and we are constantly amazed at the photographers who try this with a 25 year old in pigtails.
Look at the poses, study them memorize them, the settings and the progression/order they appear in. Remember which poses are popular, repeated and full page. These are the pictures the readers liked (try wearing gloves for this).
Never ignore the magazines, at this point they are essential. They have been satisfying men's fantasies for years, the editors started out as assistant editors. They learn what to do and this is an excellent way for anyone to learn. Would you try to learn French just by doing it yourself? Every day an editor's mailbag is full of readers letters commenting on the girls, poses and settings. This is how they know, what is popular and what to include and leave out. The Internet is just a new medium to bring to men what we've been looking at since we started painting on walls. It's usually the excuse of the failed that say, "This is a different market where the normal rules don't count". Or "I'm trying to do something different" usually means "This is all I can do" Yes I know you want to bring in your own style and "signature" to the work, that is for later when you know a more. Learn to crawl first and then walk before you run.
Here is the best piece of advice I have for. I've been shooting for more than 20 years and still use a posing book. It's a display folder, with all the poses, for a style and situation (solo-Girl/Girl-Boy/Girl), laid out in order. All photographers lose the plot or dry up during a shoot and the folder becomes very helpful. For the novice it is essential. How many times do you see a set on the Internet containing 120+ images? Thinking it should be good, you view the thumbs to only find that he has repeated every picture 3-6 times and in truth the set has only 20 different poses. This is the biggest fault with the "Amateur" photographer. I've taught photographers to shoot a minimum of 100 different shots; it's easy if you plan it. See how the models are looking at the camera, this look sells a photo. This look will vary according to what style you are shooting. "TEENY" will have a different look to a "LEG FETISH". Learning how to do this is the trick and there is no way to teach you. I can tease and flirt with a model to get the looks I need. I'm 51 and it still works. My 29-year-old partner who shoots and a 25-year-old photographer, who both get different looks from the girls they shoot.
All I can suggest is her first, second and third impressions of you are very important.
Now we have to think about the settings and props. The setting is all-important. It has to fit the fantasy to be created. Again look at the magazines; too many "Internet" photographers completely ignore the mags because they never satisfied them. Their work usually suffers because of this. Look at the style of the photo and then the setting. An "Amateur" magazine will pose a housewife in the kitchen, Playboy fly girls to the Seychelles or hire a multi million dollar house for their shoots.
Oh yes, for now do not try to imitate Penthouse, Playboy or similar magazines. You did not learn to drive in a Ferrari, take it a step at a time.
Think about the setting, clothing and props and have them all ready. Changing underwear or bed linen does not make it a different set. The guys doing this are not thinking and trying to shoot 10 sets in three hours to keep the cost down. Why do they need to keep the costs down? Their work does not sell. No prizes for why, it's a chicken and egg situation.
Sofas, bed, lounges and bedrooms are the most popular, see how you can be more creative and find different things and places to shoot models. And very important on where you shoot her is making sure you will not be interrupted or disturbed. If you're using studio flashlights make sure the neighbors can't see the lights flashing. Many years ago I was shooting at a house in Palm Springs, when suddenly we heard sirens and saw police lights flashing. To our shock they stopped outside the house. With quick thought, we got rid of the couple performing in the living room. Laid out a white sheet and put a Cornflakes packet on it. When the police came in, to check out the neighbors complaint, "Why there were lights flashing for hours". We told them we were shooting pictures for an advertising campaign. Luckily they believed us and even though we did not have a permit allowed us to carry on. It could have been so different.
Then it's what will a model wear? Never assume she'll turn up with a suitcase full of clothing suitable for the assignment. Girls do this because they need money. Be ready to provide whatever is required for her to wear. Before booking ask what size she is and get the appropriate clothing and underwear for her and the shoot. Whatever style the pictures are, the clothing must fit. The bottom line is UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING CREATED. 18+ is not about a girl in full make up and stockings and suspenders, Fem/Dom is not a cutie in white socks. Of course for shooting "housewives style" none of this applies. Tell her to bring NORMAL clothing.
Next vibrators or props, whips, chains, shoes, etc. to suit the style. Plan what you are going to do. Make sure there is a selection, don't use the same things in every set. Have everything ready before she turns up.
Also make sure any toys or vibrators are washed before and after use and let the girl see it being done. They never ask a boy "When was the last time you washed that" But they will with a vibrator. Also have a couple of different sizes, do not get out a dildo the size of a baby holding a peach and expect her to use it.
So that's it for now. This cannot be taught in two sides of A4. Next we get to "How to find girls
