Yo man!
All started when a former girlfriend of mine asked me if I thought she would be a good photomodel and shared with me that one day she would like to shoot for Playboy.
I did encourage her to do so. Then I haven't seen her in a few months only to recieve a text from her that she is in New York.
Back then I used to have different business so I thought she is just sharing her holidays or something, but she replied: "I am shooting pictures here."
I was actually pretty surprised and happy for her. Then she asked me if I would be interested in helping her out with booking shoots as she had too many to book herself - long story short I jumped on that opportunity as back then I was dearly looking for an exciting change in life.
I have send about 17 models shooting in NY, LA and Las Vegas over a period of about 2-3y - I only did this for a short time.
But booked about 200-300 shoots as the girls were quiet popular. On of them I booked over 50 shoots only for that one model.
I have worked mostly with "casual/amateur" model - although some shoots I booked were for Signiture Models for example or iStripper and was about to schedule a Playboy shoot, but their guy just stopped replying.
Mostly the type of shoots were solo-nude - fully nude. But only solo. No boy - girl , no porn.
I always only managed 1 girl at once - which was stupid as hell and lead to my demise as I put myself into a depended position on that girl and was unable to negotiate strongly with them - I lacked self-confidence and really doubted my ability to book shoots for more then one model at the time - so I always only booked one girl, then switched to next one and so on.
Only at the very end did I booked 2 girls at once, but was rather complicated. Also by that time I was taken advantage of multiple times by the girls - probably rightly so as I shouldn't have been that stupid LOL
I lost quiet a lot of money to those girls - but you know I take it as a price for experience learned :D
Then after that I got fed up with it + realized something I am doing is wrong so I reached out to some agencies and offered to schedule shoots for their models - which I did for about 3-4 models from other agencies.
But I also met this cool guy who was shooting porn looking for female models and strip club dancers - we made a good deal / commission arrangement and I was relieved that I am no longer alone and can work in team so I have been scouting female talent for him for a while ...
Then I slowly become interested in different business - which I am in now :D - and basically the old one just died away as I had less and less time for it.
Thats a TL;DR of my personal adventure with young chicks LOL :D
Cost me a lot of money + nerves :D
But would do it again 100%!
Learned a lot about my stupidy, but also capability
And made some cool friends with photographers :D
What about you? Just asking out of curiosity or have some experience in the area?
