I can has PORN?

[Tonia Lee]

I feel like I'm spamming but I swear I really do have something to ask... other than what to do about my new friend outside of my window.
So, working for Imlive.com made some impact in my life. This is great because now I have a chance to get some things I need and eat well. I did not, however, give up on adult modeling outside of cam sites. I still want to do some other credible work.
I mentioned that Shemaleyum.com had once offered a shoot but with no money to make the trip, it fell through. I was deeply frustrated.
I sent an apology and told them that I was in a horrible financial position.
No reply.
I feel so bad.

Ok, now I live in PA. As a transsexual woman looking for work in adult modeling, where would I start? I contacted Shemaleyum.com because I knew of them. Line works for them, Sasha did a shoot and even Ryo showed up. Of course, Shadowtrap is still stuck in the industrial wasteland that is my home.
Well, that's out the fuck'n window, huh? What can I do?
I thought maybe somebody could come grab the content and do what they do. Like... say, a photographer.
I don't how that works. Do I call an agency, post an adult resume, contact other trans related adult sites?
What is my next move? What will help me get to where I need to be?
Thank You.

i would take some of that extra money you are making and hire a local professional photographer--someone that REALLY knows what they are doing, knows how to light, knows how to compose a shot, use available light, someone who has shot erotic shots of GG's, someone who knows how to make you look beautiful--not some bozo with a camera who claims to be a photographer (every horny guy with a camera is a 'photographer' these days (see: list, craigs). many escorts and models end up with shitty looking photos because they don't know any better. trust me: there is such a thing as a PROFESSIONAL photographer. check around, hire a fashion photographer if you can't find a good photographer who has shot porn. ASK TO SEE THEIR WORK. one of the main things is to decide what IMAGE you are going after--YOU need to decide on the look you want to project. what sort of outfits do you want to wear? if you see yourself in that Linetrap, Bee Armitage end of things then focus on putting together a look that nails that demographic. there's nothing worse than seeing a super good looking girl wearing tacky outfits that are the 'photographer's' idea of 'hot'. YOU have to create your own image--and find a pro to bring it to life. this doesn't have to cost a lot. there are lots of young talented guys out there looking for the experience. its not like you're living in the Ozarks--there are lots of creative people where you live. once you have a few good and cool looking sets it will be easier to get the attention of serious players in the adult industry. just my $.02. others might disagree, but in my experience that's one way you might go about it.

Good shit, bro.
What do? Post an add as a model for a legit shoot? Where?
I really have to stay in PA but I do earn some good money with Imlive. They treat me well, must say.
Between a full time job in retail and a part time job in adult media, it's hard to find time.
What I'll do is watch this thrad and see what advice will surface. Your advice is solid and I can't thank you enough for it.
I'll stick to the plan of healthy life style and looking my best. This way I'm ready at any point.
As far as looks..
Clearly, I'm going for the Suzan Somers (Threes Company) look. I may have looked like Linetrap when I was a whipper snapper but now I just look like MILF with pigtails. Not that anything is WRONG with that, just say'n.
Good looking out, dude.

As i told u before, i would do a shoot of you for shemaleyum if you came to Canada and I may be also willing to come to Pitt.
At this moment I however am fucked for money due to some bad business decisions, So I won't be coming there right now.
I am also looking for models to work for my other sites too in adult and non adult capacities.

I have shot models just about everywhere in US and Canada for shemaleyum and blacktgirls.
I have worked for them for over 10 years, they guy you were in contact with has only been doing it a couple years.

You are not going to get much in the way of Adult work sitting in Pittsburgh. There just isn't anybody doing shemale stuff there except maybe on a small scale. If you want any type of steady adult modelling work you have to move to LA or another major center. The fact you are 29 is also a limiting factor of course since the youngest and freshest are always getting the bulk of the work.

I have recently renovated my place to use more as a studio since I do wish to travel less.
Due to money and the fact that a tranny friend is living in my studio right now, I haven't been shooting much lately.

So I hope to have much more work for tgirls in various capacities once i have some capital.
I'm thinking there is room for tgirls in non-adult type work and advertising perhaps.

If i'm not mistaken wasn't/isn't there a guy in Phillie who
shot 4 yum? I forget the name of the photog but i'm sure
there was.

Best of luck Tonia

There is a guy in NYC, Miami, Richmond, LA, Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas & Canada. Rob in Phillie has not been shooting much lately i don't think.

See I knew there WAS......

Frank is my absolute favorite.....Frank is the best in the biz IMO

PK is awesome but I get the feeling from him that he doesn't like girls.

Tony Vee is alright but his NY attitude is funny and he
acts allergic to she cock "I don't do that" "get off me"

Buddy Wood is all over the place literally.

Nightwalker & Jud: Don't even get me started on them LMFAO

As for you......you are pretty good man



Personally as I like solo stuff 80% of the time i'm getting more
and more partial to Shemale Strokers style of shooting then any
grooby stuff.......lately

There has also been guys in Portland, SF and other places but few stick.
I'm the only one to step up in Canada.

That is some pretty good insight.
I have met all the guys and some of your thoughts are bang on.
All great guys really tho.

I do think the new guys have taken some of the rawness that grooby is known for. I have had some contention with that.

I think I might like shooting more like shemale strokers.
We almost always do 2 sets in one sitting rather than one like strokers.

If I do start a site of my own, it would be more that style i think.
Maybe you would like it better if i started producing more again.

However the stress of travelling around shooting tgirls had it's toll on me.
There is bad days and good days now.

Nighthawk was a great old Pattaya todger from England.
He did introduce me to my ex, whether that is good or bad, i haven't decided.
(She is the ladyboy on your far right on the Ladyboy Gold banner at the top of the forum)

Nighthawk ,however, died of cancer about a year ago.
RIP Nighthawk

It's nice to hear insight from someone in the "industry" like yourself.
sorry about nighthawk. I don't know and I do know how franks does
it if that makes sense LOL that guy is a fucking,flying photograpgy
machine. I've seen people complain lately about certain things with
grooby from old fans but things change. grooby will always be in the
lead 4 sure. I am partial to all geners but find myself attracted to
ladyboys the but photogs on the site (LB-LB) stink IMO I don't know
if the girls are that bored or the photogs are that lazy and jaded. I
think maybe it works both ways sometimes and i'm sure it isn't easy
to pay the bar fine of all these girls night in night out LOL



I've always wanted to visit thailand and hope to someday.

[merelypink]

good luck!! just make as many calls as possible
