Yes surprisingly there is. I'm going to add a little of mine own as well

1. Make sure you have model releases and 2257 documents!

2. Learn your equipment and have things set up before the model gets there.

3. Check websites like sexyjobs, modelmeyhem, etc. maybe some local strip clubs to find girls. Tell them it's just a hobby of yours that you want to try or they will expect to much.

4. Doesn't matter what they are shooting, Pay $500. to 1,000. a day rate or figure something out per scene. When shooting make sure only the people involved in the scene are on set. Make a relaxed environment for the talent and you will get better results. I never could understand why companies will have other talent or hair and makup people in the same room you are shooting.

5. Treat it as a real business, If it is a hobby you will not make your money back.

6. Edit and organize all of your content soon as you finish shooting.


When it's time to add the content online, there will be a whole new huge list of things for you to do. Good luck
