How to make a career by shooting naked women, revelations of an escort photographer

Despite the fact that prostitution is legalized in only a few countries of the world, it is no secret that in almost any state, legally or not, there is a business selling sexual services. And Canada is no exception in this regard. Over the past ten years, a resident of Montreal, who wished to introduce herself as DannyGirl, has collected a whole collection of photos of employees of escort services.

Although DannyGirl practically did not study fashion photography, she was engaged in nude photography for almost 20 years. More than ten years ago, circumstances developed in such a way that DannyGirl decided to focus on creating a portfolio for girls from the world of escort services.

I didn't really understand myself. When I was studying at the art school in Toronto, I just liked to photograph my girlfriends half-naked in sexy poses. Once, when we were at a Jewish summer camp, we escaped from the dining hall and arranged a photo shoot with the girls in the shower. Then my camera bag was stolen, and it is possible that someone was arrested for possession of those photos.

In fact, I would always be very happy to photograph my friends half-naked. I was irresponsible about taking photography classes in high school and didn't go to college to learn it there.

But one day, visitors to my MySpace got interested in photos and started asking me questions about how much money I was willing to take some pictures for them. So I realized that I can photograph sexy girls working in escort services, and even get good money for it. I do it easily and brings me a stable income.

It all started in 2006, when representatives of a small escort agency offered me to shoot for their employees. At that time, I was already doing something similar, but I was not in any way connected with the culture of the sex industry in order to fully realize its scale. Now, as I have already said, I get great money for such shooting, which not all photographers can boast of.

I think that the ideas about sexuality in Montreal are quite vague and working in this field does not imply great difficulties for girls, so many do so. This is really a large-scale business! But here such services are cheaper than in many other cities, so it is more profitable to be a customer than a seller.

I can say that something interesting happens every day. The specifics of my work do not allow me to ask too many clarifying questions before shooting, so I really do not know who I will photograph: tall or short, blondes or brunettes, girls like from a porn movie, or, as last week, two cute vegetarian perverts with short hairstyles who practice some kind of "spiritual cleansing" and yoga classes in the nude. Yes, imagine, they put on clown noses and arrange a pillow fight, and one of them has a wolf's tail sticking out of the fifth point. Another couple, a guy and a girl, once hired me to do a photo shoot for them, but in the end I had a strong impression that this idea was dictated by their desire to have sex in someone's presence.

I know that a lot of girls had to change their websites and the usual ways to advertise their services because of the changes in legislation that came into force (meaning the legislative act prohibiting the advertising of prostitutes' services. In addition, it is not sellers of sex services who are being persecuted, but buyers and intermediaries. — Ed.). Everything has become more complicated.

What shocks me and what most girls agree with is that changes in legislation to a certain extent drive the priestesses of love underground. But after all, in my opinion, it would be much smarter to make this area safer, to receive taxes from such activities, because in fact most prostitutes in They are businessmen nowadays, this is their full-time job: they make up a work schedule, administer their websites, answer phone calls and emails.

Our main goal is to interest potential customers, make them want to contact the girl and ask her questions about what they could do together. This whole process is built around attraction, not allowing you to cross the invisible line.

In fact, I was very lucky in this sense. I am the only child in a single-parent family, and I have a very cool mom. She and my grandmother are very energetic and progressive people who always wanted me to do what I like. I think they didn't worry a bit about the fact that I could become one of the girls providing escort services in a hurry.

In fact, I would always be very happy to photograph my friends half-naked. I was irresponsible about taking photography classes in high school and didn't go to college to learn it there.
