Offer custom shoots

I think all of you by now know what my special swerve on wetlook is(big hair slowly getting wet,like the custom shoots on my webshots site I put up(btw,still working on trying to get a model to do this,no luck yet),which is very rarely covered here by the producers(because most people want the clothes to get wet and be seen,any hair that gets wet is either coincidental,instantaineous(no fun)put up,or ignored.Bottom line,while it kind of sucks for me,I'm a minority here with my preferences,and the producers have to do what will make them $$$.

I would pay Stormy to have one of his models(i have 3 that I love) do a shoot like I want to see(again,avreage cost for me when I get a model,and that includes the porn actresses/ametures,profecianal models is around $75) ,and he could share with us all(and I can add it to my Community Webshots site)

And I won't leave the rest of you out with only the girls head and neck sticking out of the water,I would include full body shots (before dry and wet at the end),and you skirt/tan hose lovers will like as well

Hi,

I just had to comment on this: if you let people in for $10 then 99.9% are unlikely to ever give you anymore !

So far, less than 10 people have made donations towards the forum running costs, that's out of over 2000 regular visitors.

If you want to recoup some money, then I'd do a deal with someone who already has a paysite running, and let them have all the 'hassle', you can just supply the pics.

Nigel

PS great pics, I'd certainly like to see some more.

Making more photos available

The post below "Constructive Criticism of WL Producers" has inspired me to ask for feedback about a method for making more of my work available.

Many of you have requested to see many more photos than I have published so far, and indeed, I have about 30,000 fairly decent shots of 45 separate shoots with 20 models and about 300 different "sets". I am not enamoured of the typical "pay" site approach because I don't want to become a site manager rather than the guy who gets to actually take the photos. What an administrative burden that must be! But I do need to make some money to recoup my expenses and pay for more shoots.

What I'm thinking about is this. I create a password protected archive and charge a relatively modest fee to become a member for life, similar to Wet in Red's great site. I was thinking that $10 gets you in and that's all you would ever have to pay. I get things started with 3-5 sets (with 20-50 photos per set).

From there on out, I put sets up based on donations made by members. Say for every $100 donated (through on-line payment like Paypal), I put up another set--which would about cover my costs (actually, I'd post pictures once a week (or more often) based on how much was donated, no matter how many or how few that would be). Beyond the initial fee, nobody would have to donate and every member gets to benefit from the generosity of others. I think the costs would be pretty low for everyone, especially if the idea caught on.

I'd make the images easy to download, and offer both large and medium-sized high resolution files. The quality would be so much better than what gets posted on OMP--their compression algorithm wrecks the saturation and sharpness of my images--I can hardly stand to look at them there.

This idea might be a loser, but I've been struggling with how to get my work out there as people have requested. I have had offers by some site owners to buy my sets, but I've told my models I'll maintain control over the image distribution and anyway the offers have been too small to cover costs.

Let me know what you think. If you think it is stupid, say so. I won't be offended. My intent isn't to turn this into a career but to fund more work and make it super-easy for all.
