Finding Erotic Nude Models Through Advertising
Finding Erotic Nude Models Through Advertising
Finding nude models through advertising is really quite easy. You simply place an ad (usually in a publication or on an internet site) stating that you are looking for females who may be interested in modeling. The location of your ad is the key component of this method. You'll want to place ads in locations that are likely to be viewed by women who are already searching for modeling work or by women who are searching for a way to make extra money.
For example, there is a newspaper in Los Angeles called L.A. Weekly. A paper such as this one is an ideal spot for ads. The reasons for this is that it's available everywhere in the city (usually for free) and it's widely read by both locals and visitors. Most cities have comparable publications.
Another logical location to place an ad is in college newspapers (or newspapers in college towns). A good thing about this is that your ad will be primarily seen by females in the specific age group that you will often find yourself looking for when it comes to models. However, many college newspapers will have strict guidelines about what type of ad can be placed in their papers.
My advice to you is to be open and honest regarding who your ad is targeting (females willing to pose nude) and accept any restrictions that may be in effect. In other words, I would advise against trying to be deceptive in the wording of your ad. More than likely, this type of deception will lead to needless hassles down the road.
Feel free to come up with other ideas regarding where you may benefit from placing ads. For example, perhaps on a bulletin board at a local university or park. However, you should know that ads placed in locations such as these often have a very good chance of being taken down quickly by people who are opposed to this type of thing. In some locations, there may be regulations about posting ads like this. If you're unsure about the details, take a little time to look into any specific laws and regulations that may exist in your specific area.
As you know, there are still pockets of people who disagree strongly with this type of photography. My advice to you is not to concern yourself with any negative views from others. It's a fact of life that there will always be people disagreeing with something. Whether it's erotic photography, a new parking lot being built, or the current price of milk - you will always find people upset about something. Don't let it get to you.
As far as what the ad should say, I always try to keep it simple. Women are not going to base their final decision on whether or not to work with you from simply reading your ad. Inevitably, they will want to talk to you to get more details. Your main intention with an ad is to simply pique their interest a bit and get them curious enough to give you a call. Another reason to keep the ad sharp and concise is that most publications charge by the word - the fewer words in your ad, the less expense for you.
Here is an ad that I have used many times and have had great success with:
FEMALE MODELS WANTED FOR PAYING JOBS.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. NUDITY REQUIRED.
IF INTERESTED, CALL (your first name and number here).
I like this particular ad because it gives potential models a good idea about what I'm looking for. I use the phrase "Nudity Required" because it eliminates time that would be wasted by girls calling who have no interest in posing nude.
Contrary to many photographers, I never attempt to persuade girls to pose nude if they are hesitant about doing so. These days, there are more than enough females who are excited about posing nude, I don't feel the need to convince those who aren't. I discuss this topic in more detail in my ebook, Money Shots (http://moneyshotsbook.com).
You may feel differently about this. I realize that there are photographers who enjoy the challenge of trying to persuade girls to overcome their reservations about nudity. Personally, it's just not something I care to get involved in.
I also like this ad because it states, "No Experience Necessary." This phrase will help girls who have no prior experience to feel more comfortable about responding. In addition, the phrase doesn't say that girls who do have experience aren't also wanted; it simply says that experience isn't necessary. By using this wording, you will get responses from females ranging from absolute beginners to seasoned professionals.
Lastly, I like this ad because it states that the model will be paid for the shoot. Obviously, getting paid is something that is attractive to everyone - including models. Since I am a professional photographer and I plan to sell my work, I don't mind paying models for their time. The promise to a potential that money is involved will likely cause her to be more interested. However, I realize that when you're just starting out and building up your portfolio you may be less inclined to pay models for every shoot you do. In this case, you can simply delete the "Paying Jobs" portion of the ad.
