sites like BentBox, ManyVids, Clips4sale have content for purchase.

Adultlabs sells content they created to adult websites. They have a solo girl section which should fill more than you would ever need for very low cost. All models Euro/Russian

https://gfy.com is a forum for adult content producers and webmasters. There is a content market sub-forum.

I used to have my content for sale at AdultCentro, but they closed a few years ago. If you want to DM with specifics about what you are looking for I might have US model content available to suit your needs.

I use Photofolio.com it is a portfolio website system developed by a magazine photo editor specifically for photographers.

yes, I like the Xrite Color Passport. No reason not to always have in your bag. I also like some of the additional features like incremental warming and cooling patches when neutral isn’t what you are going for.

The Hasselblad/Zeiss Softar filters where interesting and useful. they were well produced glass filters that had an array of dimples on the surface that would bend light over the dimple but the non-dimpled areas remained unchanged. The result was a soft glow around an otherwise sharp image. There were 3 levels, I still have a Softar 1. never wanted the 2 or 3.

There were/are also black dot and black mesh filters that can soften without losing as much contrast.

yes, not called remote shoot. Not sure if there is an accepted name for it, but I would describe is as a fashion shoot package where a client ships the garments to producer/photographer and receives back finished photos.

The problems with that idea is a) the photographer has to assume the role of both art director and photographer and b) the fashion market/world tends to exist where the models are. Unless you are both comfortable being an art director and have a suitable model pool to draw from I would think most companies would pass in comparison to photographers who have reach into more traditional fashion/modeling markets.

You might find the lowest level (sorry) companies open to this, but if they grow, they will want better models. At that point they will be flying models in for shoots. It doesn’t take too long for them to realize that expense levels with them working in major markets.

I have many times done the opposite of what you are describing, ie. bringing my studio to my client’s location and setting up in a warehouse to shoot multiple fashion lines in a concentrated span. At some point the cost/hassle of sending 50-100 dresses/gowns exceeds the cost of bringing in a photographer. It also allows their salaried personnel to prep the dresses and keep them available for their sales functions, rather than losing samples for 2-3 weeks and paying for a stylist by the day to prep the dresses.

Maybe I dig into the nuts and bolts of my client’s business too much, but I would suggest stepping back and understanding the flow of the business. couldn’t hurt

by what metric are you elevating a shoot-through umbrella over a soft box?

To the author of the question. be aware of the distances between each of the subjects and the light source to more evenly light the scene. If you are posing your groups, a simple string tied to the light stand will guide you to position all bodies in a basic arc equidistant from light source and therefore more even exposure.

I have replacement cost with my business policy from State Farm. I have had such a good relationship with my broker and State Farm across all of my policies that I wouldn’t consider another company.

I always thought any name with the word ‘TOUCH’ in it was a bad look for company that works with kids.

How about start with a sincere motivation to enlighten and inform an audience and/or tell the honest story about humans caught in conflict. Second, remove your motivations for acclaim. It’s not a fucking sport, sport. The best documentary photographers are powered by sincere desire to connect human narrative with an audience, not by their own ego.

saying that it is fabric is too generic. the properties of fabric are not the same across the several different types. I would assume that you are talking about muslin. Canvas has different qualities. As does polyester. All are used for backdrops.

You are probably looking for fleece-backed polyester like the Titanium cloth from Backdrop Outlet. This is not an endorsement for them. I have several of them, but they (BDO) are a pain to deal with in ordering and customer service. They travel well. They do drape somewhat. And they can be laundered. They have a some spring to them so you can tension them with clamps and sandbags to pull out wrinkles.
