A really cool photoshoot in montreal...

Virgule3 · 03-09-2006, 10:58 PM

I discussed this with another XNations member and although he had some really good points, I'm gonna try it anyway...

Here's the whole story...

I was in Vegas last January for the AVN and Internext and boy I wasn't impressed. It was my first time...

I met tons of really cool people and all, but I was under the impression that Angelique, Joy, Celt and I would be doing a LOT more photoshoots than we did. I did awesome shoots with some really nice people but we weren't very productive compared to what I know we can do normally. Plus, most of the photoshoots were done in the bedrooms at the different hotels. The Venitian, the Caesar's, etc... have been overdone as well. So if you ask me, Vegas is an expensive trip and we don't get that much out of it...

So, here's my idea... I know, I might sound a bit naive, but nonetheless, I think it is a neat idea and I think it could actually work...

I found an awesome studio in Montreal, actually, a couple places, where they'd let us shoot porn as long as we pay the rental for the studio. I'd like to get as many girls as possible, and have real scheduled photoshoots with actual, real photographers and do Playboy-Penthouse-Hustler type photos... Real cool, good photos, but for amateurs (and pro) web sites.

So basically, we'd be making content for the girl's web sites... Tons of content! Someone would be there to transfer the stuff onto CDs so the girls won't have to worry about that, there would be a make up artist, etc... And if I can find enough girls/couples/webmasters to participate, I would even try to have someone give conferences on photography, marketing, etc...

Because I can't afford the rental of the studio by myself, the girls would have to pay around 150$ but in return, they'd get TONS of QUALITY content for their site.

I already have a couple photographers picked out. They are awesome artists and they wouldn't charge anything. They just want the permission to use the pictures for their portfolio, their photography site, etc... But only the "tame" pics...

So, the way I see this, it would be a lot cheaper than Vegas or any other show, but it would actually be scheduled, organized and the girls would get a LOT of content out of it... Because I know a lot of girls, amateurs, etc... went to Vegas and didn't shoot a lot... But if this actually work, they'd be able to shoot with different people, different photographers, and get lots of content.

Ok, so, don't be too hard on my but what do you think? Could it actually work? Would you be interested? Do you know any girls who'd like to come and shoot with us? (I already have a couple girls, well, my friends that I mnentionned above and a couple amateurs from Mtl that I contacted would be interested...)

I appreciate your input.

talk to Vid Vicious about this, he's a top notch photog/videographer and very active in the Montreal porn scene

thanks Gunner .. Yah I'm a bit surprised you haven't contacted me .. Especially since I have two studio spaces in montreal .. My own Loft @ 1300 sq ft .. and the studio where most of montreal's hardcore porn comes out of, a 5500 sq ft facility .. however I'm always looking for more space to shoot in .. can you please post or forward me these spaces you've found ?

As for models .. Mmm .. We have approx 40 models in this city .. with another 40 that work out of various agencies in the city .. Unless youre dealing with Amature models I can't see how regular models without websites would be interested .. With that said .. I'd gladly lend a helping eye as it would be for Photoshoots or Video shoots .. hit me up .. we can talk

I think she's looking for amateur models who are looking for content swaps not to hire models.

I have 1 possibly 2 girls who can get involved with this, let me know when you have set dates Sophie!

Yes, I guess I wasn't clear enough... I am looking for amateur models who have web sites and want to get some great content made for their sites.

When we were in Vegas, the amateurs I met were great and all, but we didn't get that much content made and the trip was very expensive. Most amateurs didn't go to the show itself (it was quite expensive). They just went to Vegas to meet other amateurs and shoot videos and photos but as I said, the trip wasn't productive at all...

So, I want to organize something real, with great photographers (I already know some GREAT ones but I am always looking forward to meeting new people too! ), in a real studio, with other amateurs...

I'll contact you guys personally soon!

Thanks!

Sophie.

great idea - but definitely Vid is what would make it a top notch photoshoot - he'd be the only one I would trust to shoot my wife than anyone in the industry - not just for his professionalism - but his unique style of photography makes him the most sought after
