Safer Shoots

Are you new to modeling? Want to move forward in your career, but you've had a bad experience with a photographer? Are you concerned for your safety?

Learn from industry veterans how to avoid even the most dangerous predators.

Safer Shoots provides guidelines and references every model in the fetish and bondage modeling industries should know. More

The fetish, bondage and BDSM modeling industries are havens for predators. The industry attracts them, and has a hard time getting rid of them.

Guys with a camera, limited photography skills, and a craving for sexual adventure are common enough. They usually bring no more than an annoyance. They might negotiate for an hour of non-nude modeling but once they have you in rope, cut some of your clothes off... until you scream at them. Or, you shoot with them, but can't seem to shake the creepy feeling they give you, so you never shoot with them again.

A predator who counts on your desire to keep your modeling separate from the rest of your life will try to blackmail you into doing far more than you planned on doing for them.

Scam artists want not only those special poses from you; they want your money too. They have no intention of paying you, and instead will scam you into paying the bills they leave behind.

While the guy with a camera and a craving doesn't usually cause trouble, no model ever appreciates an encounter with a predator.

How can a model increase the odds of a fun, safe, positive session? Industry veterans say following these guidelines helps.

* Be aware that the fetish and bondage modeling scenes are havens for predators.
* Know about the risks you are taking.
* Negotiate what will happen at the shoot; settle the details in advance.
* Search for them online before you agree to meet.
* Require references. Know how to give and receive a helpful reference.
* Trust your gut!
* Whenever possible, bring an escort.
* Network with other models.
* Use a Safe Call (and let the photographer know you are doing that).
* Avoid using drugs or alcohol during or just before the shoot.
* Don't change your limits once the shoot starts.

Safer Shoots provides the detailed guide you need so that you can improve your ability to detect offers from predators, understand the most common scams, and research photographers online.
