What is a comp card and how do you make one? ↗
A comp card, also called a sedcard, brings a small selection of photographs and relevant model information together. It is a concise introduction you can share digitally or in print.
Which photographs do you need for a casting? ↗
Choose current photographs that answer the brief. A concise selection is usually more useful than sending everything you have. This guide is a practical starting point for a creative model casting.
Preparing for a boudoir or adult photoshoot ↗
Preparing for a personal shoot starts with a conversation. Discuss the mood, what you want to show and where the photographs will be used. You do not need to arrive knowing every pose.
Accounts, income and image rights when working with management ↗
You can delegate tasks while staying involved in your accounts, income and images. Agree who may do what, what you manage yourself and how you will bring the collaboration to a close.
Understanding management commission and costs ↗
The real cost of support depends on more than a percentage. The amount it is applied to and the charges added alongside it matter too. Make those details clear before choosing.
Choosing an OnlyFans manager ↗
Having someone take work off your hands can help. But who fits your plans? Look beyond an attractive profile or an earnings promise. Begin with the tasks, people and agreements.
Starting OnlyFans: business preparation for creators ↗
Before your first publication as an adult creator, take time to consider your presentation, privacy and practical organisation. Understand what you want to make, what it requires and where support might help.
Casting agency, model agency or manager: who helps with what? ↗
The names can sound interchangeable, but a casting agency, model agency and manager can answer very different needs. Start with the work you are looking for and the support you want.
How much time does working as a creator or performer take? ↗
A one-minute video or a half-hour performance shows only part of the work. Include preparation, messages and the finishing tasks when you consider how much time creator or performer work needs.
Taking a break and returning as a creator or performer ↗
A break can be short, longer or have no fixed end date. Clarify what stops, what continues and how people can reach you, so returning does not mean handling everything at once.
Creating a showreel and booking profile for performers ↗
A showreel demonstrates what you can do. A booking profile explains what someone can enquire about. Together they introduce your performance, style and practical requirements.
Becoming an erotic model: your first steps ↗
What would you like to show, which mood suits you and where are your boundaries? You do not need an extensive portfolio to begin answering those questions. A clear direction is a useful first step. This guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
Becoming an adult actor or actress: preparation and agreements ↗
Before deciding whether adult productions suit you, understand what is involved. This guide for adults covers preparation, introductions, privacy and practical agreements.
Becoming a stripper: preparation, presentation and agreements ↗
If you are exploring work as a stripper or performer, start with a direction that suits you, a recognisable presentation and clear arrangements. This guide helps adults prepare questions before taking the next step.
Becoming a plus size model: presentation and portfolio ↗
Start with a presentation that shows who you are now. A clear image selection, suitable styling and your own direction make a first step concrete. This guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
Nude modelling: choices, boundaries and use of photographs ↗
Begin with an idea you genuinely want to explore, rather than showing as much as possible. Consider the photography that suits you, how to prepare and what to agree before the camera starts. For adults aged 18 and over.
Building a model portfolio: what should you include? ↗
A portfolio is a considered selection. It shows your style and possibilities without asking visitors to explore your entire archive. Bring different photographs together into a coherent presentation.
Applying to a model or casting agency ↗
Begin with an appropriate recipient, current photographs and a short introduction. You do not need to know everything already, but you want to make clear who you are and what you are looking for. A practical guide for adults.
Taking measurements for your model profile ↗
A flexible tape measure, a mirror and a quiet moment are useful starting points. Learn how to measure height, chest or bust, waist and hips and record them clearly. Follow the agency’s or photographer’s requested method; this guide does not prescribe desired body measurements.
Writing a casting brief as a client ↗
A casting brief starts with the assignment. What are you making, who are you looking for and what will you agree? Give adult models and performers enough information to decide whether to respond.
Recognising a genuine casting and assessing a call ↗
Assessing a casting starts with questions. Who is approaching you, what work is involved and on what terms? A professional-looking call deserves the same attention as an unexpected message.
Booking a performer: brief, price and arrangements ↗
Booking a performer starts with the part the performance will play in your event. What should it add, who will watch and what can the venue accommodate? Clear answers make proposals easier to compare.
Making a self-tape or introduction video for casting ↗
Let your voice, posture and personality come through. A clear task and a calm recording can communicate a great deal in a self-tape or introduction video.
Planning a TFP shoot: collaboration and image use ↗
You contribute your time and presentation; the photographer brings knowledge and creativity. A TFP shoot can give both of you useful images when it is clear what you will create, receive and be allowed to use.
Working in a strip club or performing at events ↗
The difference between club work and events is not only the stage. Your rhythm, preparation, audience and agreements shape how the work fits your life.
