As we might already know, a woman’s thundering triumph in the camming world is directly proportional to being social media literate. Retweeting, posting, enabling online conversations and storytelling techniques via your social media feeds – all of these are playing a substantial role in your digital notoriety. As one might have already guessed, in order to keep up with this cybernated lifestyle you need an outrageously massive vault, filled to the brim with content… or, actually, a couple of them. Since taking selfies with different outfits, but in the same corner of your living room that gives you a bolt of average lightning is getting old, the only way to diversify your content is to make photographers your number one besties. We will give you a warning tho – dealing with photographers as a camgirl is no easy job.

In a plethora of boudoir photographers that are at a finger tap away, how can one justly choose the one that rides the same vibe at you, has a ground-breaking visionary and doesn’t raise any red flags? It sounds troublesome indeed, but if you really desire to shoot “that” picture that has – almost – the same effect as that PornHub money-making scene, buckle up and get ready to become encyclopedically knowledgeable on the boudoir culture.

Understanding your brand’s needs 

In the rising and artistic underground culture of camming, there are plenty of creatives who have dedicated their prolific mission statement to sex workers. Most of them conduct their indie businesses with enough professional tools and creative resources to make anyone gasp in awe. Before choosing a photographer to collaborate with, bear in mind that his/her vision must be a match made in Heaven – not just a trivial Tinder one. 

When making the big decision – saying the “yes”, but to the photo camera, not to the ring – take a moment to assess your needs. Most photographers in the adult industry either work exclusively with SFW or boudoir, so if you want your freshly edited content to lay beautifully on your social media feeds, creatives working with this type of niche might not be your go-to choice. Be as picky with your photographers are you are with your party outfits, when you know your ex will show up. 

Checklists are the ultimate holy grail 

Camming is a netherworld, yet it brings right to the swirling surface perceptions of the female body as a locus of fantasy and contempt – don’t let that go to waste. How do you prevent shit from going down? The old, yet so good communication cliche. Both you and the photographer are content creators, therefore each of you will most probably have (very) different perspectives on how the photoshoot will unfold.  Be open for any photoshoot tips coming from the photographer, but don’t allow your own vision to be lost in translation.

Before you decide to meet up, make sure you set certain boundaries around what you are comfortable doing. If for some reason you get uncomfy or want to stop, you shouldn’t explain yourself – yes is yes until it’s no, and no is no. Period. Your body, your rules. Trust your gut.

Check out if he has a digital portofolio. Most photographers have, so it is a chance to get a glimpse of his/hers creative brainchild. Also, set up important things from the very start, such as how the content will be shared and who is making the photo selection.

Watch out for red flags when working with photographers as a camgirl

Besides making sure that the photographer will tenderly evoke your inner femme fatale (or whatever vibe you are going for) just the way you want it, look out for any possible red flags. Needless to say, whenever more than two of them arise, press the panic button and lose contact with him ASAP. Your first contact with him should always be professional – when his first remark about you is “Damn, you are so hot, let’s shoot”, you can already have a guess at how his behaviour will be during the shoot. 

Do a little bit of roleplaying and be an FBI agent – look up for his name on Google and social media platforms. Read his reviews. See if any models are tagged on his Instagram profile. If model’s aren’t tagged, that’s another red flag. If they are, you can contact them and ask about their experience – you might feel like a mixture between a stalker and a desperate housewife, but it is for your own good.
