This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Obviously, most of my work is highly sexualized, and often I am asked if I get turned on during a photoshoot.
The short answer is no, I don't, because I am in art-space and am completely devoting myself to balancing getting the best lighting, the best composition, making sure the camera is working properly (never trust them, ever) and trying to keep my model in peak form. And oh, I should add that I often have to worry about putting on my own show for the model or anyone else at the shoot because I usually wear short dresses and photography is a very gymnastics like event. It's a lot of stuff to do at one time, and it takes pretty much all my little brain can do at one time...if I am going to do it well at all.
Then there's that whole "professional" thing. When I modeled I can remember getting hit on by creepy ugly old guys, and I remember how icky that felt. I refuse to put one of my models in that position. It's wrong anyway.
Funny thing is my shoots are a bit like a party, depending on what role you have. We listen to cool music while we work, we laugh and tease and if she wants to drink during the shoot, so long as she can handle her liquor, I don't care. If there's a makeup artist or a PA, they'll probably be enjoying it too. This is making art, for crying out loud, and it SHOULD be fun. I enjoy it too, because hey, this beats the hell out of sitting in endless meetings that go nowhere, which is life in the big companies.
But I have my fun and I keep my offers and my hands to myself. It's just not the time or the place to try to get laid.
I am a pro fashion/glamour/fetish/erotic photographer with 20+ years experience, both behind and in front of the camera too. I shot my first nude at 18 years old and have never stopped. I can't image three lifetimes would be half the time needed to photograph all of the areas of sexuality I would like explore.
Been insanely busy for about 2-3 months. Working around 55-60 hours a week, working on my startup design and photography business when I can and there's been a ton of crazy family and friend crises that have pretty much kept me going non-stop. Finally, I can breathe and make some art instead of making commercial websites and photographing client-chosen models for their marketing materials.
