Gay Content

[DonovanPhillips]

Hello guys! I met a few of you in Phoenix, and listened to a few of you speak. Today I posted on GFY looking for the best Gay Forum and was referred here.

My girlfriend and I shoot mostly straight content. I've been shooting for 7 years now and she's been shooting for 3. We have a handful of male models (mostly straight guys) that are willing to shoot solo for gay sites.

Is it okay to post a few photos of them in here and see if anyone's interested in them? We'll shoot exclusive sets (at least 70 photos per set) for $125 per set (you own all rights, can resell, whatever).

I have a few twinks, bears, etc.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Welcome DonovanPhillips!

I'm happy to see you here! And, I have to say I was also glad to see the response over at GFY LOL

Feel free to post links, pics, etc. The group here is as honest and as professional as they come. We will tell you exactly what we think and offer advice if we think it's needed.

I'm going to copy this thread over to the Content Forum. You will want to post in there as well

Again, glad you're here.

My best,
Gary-Alan

Thanks again. I'll post a few examples. One of the guys we work with is Markie, who has actually done quite a few gay films:



But I also have guys coming in all the time like Daniel, who I'd say is a "bear":



and little raver boys like Gene:

ok...personal opinion for what it's worth:

1st guy: hell yes

other two...no thanks

IMHO

Hey Donovan!

Ok you get yummies on these three

Markie has got something there... but I'm not sure iof the uniform is throwing me off or not. It's just something about it. LOL

I wouldn't classify Daniel as a bear, personally. He's too slight for the name. Bears 'typcially' are husky in build. I think of a 'bear hug' when I think bear I'd call him more of a Dad type.

Speaking of dad's do you do video production or just still? LMK

See the biggest thing to know is what's typical and what's not. I think the content provider that offers 'non cookie' cutter images is going to do well.

Any idea who has "Bears" on their site? I haven't been inside the site, but does Bedfellow have many Bears?

We shoot videos but more stills than anything.

Markie is wearing my Navy uniform. I kept it when I was discharged. Little did I know I'd be photographing guys in it. I shot him for Twinks.com and for MaxCash but that's it.

Daniel just came in today. He hasn't been shot for anyone. I was interviewing his wife and he asked if I had any work for him. I told him I'd try.

Gene is now married. At first his husband wasn't sure if he'd let him pose, but I think he's okay with it now. Before he met his husband, I shot some boy/boy content of Markie and Gene together for Twinks.

I may as well tell everyone why I'm posting:

I interview people every day. My sites (all straight) do exceptionally well. But I live in an area in Northern California where there are no other content shooters anywhere around. I care a lot about the people who model for me. I become friends with a lot of them.

The main reason we shoot content for others is to find more work for models so they can make more money. I have a lot of clients to sell exclusive females to, but only 2 that buy males. One of them is very selective (twinks only) so I don't really have much to offer male. I have to turn away guys all the time.

In Phoenix, I heard one speaker (I forget is name) talk about straight guys being hot in the gay market right now. I thought I'd come here and post samples as guys come in. If someone wants them, I'll shoot them cheap so that the models make more money. That's my #1 concern. I see these people on a personal level. If I can help these guys supplement their monthly income I'm happy.

The models I get are college students, etc. Daniel above is a medical assistant with a wife and 2 kids.

I'll shoot as few as 2 sets per model on males. I tell the guys when they come in that I have very little work for them. Anything I find is a bonus.

[basschick]

just my opinion, but i work the "straight guy" niche a lot. the first guy has the pouty porn look that girls use. i haven't found it works too well for men. the second guy might be okay if he wasn't so very still and expressionless. unless a guy or girl has a wonderful body, a little clothing, posing, and personality works wonders for them. the third guy looks surly and has bad skin and a soft-looking body. perhaps in motion, he wouldn't look soft but as it is, i wouldn't buy content of him.

may i ask what you are charging for solo with masturbation?

We don't have any bears at all in our original models, but yeah, in some of the photo sets we've got bears. To truely know what a bear is, think Al from "Home Improvement" and Dan from "Rosanne" when he had the beard.

or maybe Grizzly Adams.
