    Models, do you watch your own shoots?

    A comment Susie made in the thread New Girl/Girl: Chloe B & Susie (Girl/Girl Hardcore) got me thinking. Do you watch your own shoots? I know most of you probably check out some of the stills during the shoot, but do you check it out when it's posted to the website? This goes for solos, im's, and gg shoots. Just curious.

    Well, I do. :-) Sometimes I wait a little bit, as I like to watch my shoots together with Mr Immie, so we can share a "first time", so to speak. :-)

      I look at the photos but not the videos.

        Yeah, I understand that. The videos are harder to look at, although I kind of told myself to bloody look already, and it's gotten easier with time. Somehow, it's much more embarrassing to see all your little mannerisms and voice inflections that you're generally unaware of.

          Yeah, that's what I was curious about. Years ago my gf and i experimented with making our own home porno. Let's just say it was not as exciting as I thought it would be. Kind of hard to watch yourself doing that.

            I think it's a goot thing for an artist or performer to review in playback, her or his performances. It's even insightful. I've been doing radio and TV for a couple decades now and I always, whenever I might hear one of my works on the stations around town, i.e. a commercial or station ID that I dd, I still listen to myself with an objective ear. That way I can criticise my own work and get insight on areas where I should improve and areas where I did well. It's always good too when a friend offers me feedback on the quality of my works, that way I have an idea where I stand. So I see where that would apply to the importance for models to be encouraged to review their works with an objective eye and ear, though as Immie says at first it can feel a bit awkward but I venture to add that with a little time you can grow into it and find the experience quite insightful.

                Good question and I have been interested with the replies so far. Giselle.... do you watch your blogs?? Is it you on video you don't like or just the, lets say "AW" stuff you don't want to see??

                Similar question.... do you think you look like yourself in pictures and videos???? I say this because I'm sure the person I see in the mirror is not the same person that shows up on film (or digital whatever you call it now).

                  Hi to all the curious wonderful people out there,

                  my answer is definetly yes, I really enjoyed watching my IM that has gone up so far, I also enjoyed watching my other IM and DIM played back to me on the day of shooting. For me personally it is a turn on to see myself performing on video camera, I really do enjoy it, being in front of a camera adds some extra naughtiness and sexiness to the whole experience. Still photos I enjoy in different way, they are more artistic, capturing a single moment or expression.

                  Hope everyone enjoys my persnal opinion on this interesting question

                    At first I didn't think i'd watch the video but I've watched the preview and although it made me feel really strange I'll definately watch the full vid, my fella wants to see it and I have to see it if he does! It's strange because you don't know how you look to others and that's kind of interesting...

                    Stills are much easier to see, we're used to those!

                        I look at mine out of curiousity. It's funny, cos I can see some things that I think "Oh, I look nice there" but then other times I cringe at something I've said or how I laugh or something silly. I like the photos though, cos then it's kinda hard to feel silly

                        Oh you lucky thing, did you see it? I must have been outside indulging my dirty smoking habit. I will definately watch our DIM, but just sort of ignore myself in it and focus on the important bits, (your lovely self)

                            I'd love to aswell. Sadly, like I said in my thread. I'm out of action at the moment for another month or two

                              Hmm, i always used to peak at my photo's when they came online through spread fingers over my eyes... toes curled and face scrunched... cringing at what i was about to see!
                              This was mostly for the photo's i had taken of myself for other sites because i knew i had taken quite a few unflattering photo's of myself.
                              But i'm always pleasantly surprised by what is posted and especially about what it is that other people like about the photo's that have been taken.
                              I find i'm forced to look at myself in a different light to how it is i see myself... a good soul searching experience.

                              As for the videos, i still sit scrunched up in my chair peaking through my fingers when i see them come up.
                              I don't realise how strong an accent i have or how strangely i talk sometimes, it's also funny watching the little nuances i have that i didn't realise i had... this is directed at more the interview style video's i've done.
                              As for the orgasm videos... there's no helping my cringe factor and then there's the "oh god! is that how i look when i orgasm?!"... yeah, don't think i'm ever going to get comfortable seeing myself have a spank on video or get used to my "O" face.... he he.

                                  I have to agree with pretty much everyone else, I will always look at my photos but videos are a little different. I always have one of those ‘do I really sound like that’ moments!! Maybe I just talk too much, hehe!!!

                                    Laila: Oh totally, it's amazing how you can not hear your own accent... I was amazed when I watched the VNL I did last year, at just how bloody posh I sound! Still, after a while, you get used to it, and you get to know and even like your screen self. :-) We are all unique and beautiful snowflakes, after all. ;-)

                                      Hey all! Yes I do look at some of my shots, but like most I'm not really a fan of my own videos. I think because there is one that I was so disappointed with, it put me off watching the rest of mine. That being said I do like to watch other models videos; it's especially great to hear their voices. Initially I thought Chloe would have a deep voice for some reason, and it's so light and sweet sounding. Also certain models look nicer when thy talk...I know that may sound a bit weird(I'm talking beyond models now).

                                      I'll use the example of Dita Von Teese. Now she has an amazingly gorgeous style...I don't think anyone would doubt that. However there are certain photos that make her look a bit like a man. Please don't think I'm sounding harsh, it's not all of them, just certain face shots. Then I watched a video of her talking on youtube to hear what she sounded like out of curiosity, and she looked so much prettier when she spoke out loud. Faces of pretty people talking look great as they're doing so, however I'm sure many would agree that when snapped they look funny.

                                      I think for myself, I'm a bit the opposite, I prefer stills of me as opposed to how I look talking; however looking back on my very first shoot there are most assuredly some stills I'd've preferred them not to use; but that may just be my inner critic coming out.

                                      GG shoots I like to look at, and though I've only done a t-2 on AW, I like that one, though I don't look at it very often. I think it's more a novel thrill when your own shoots first come out and you want to see what they look like, and after a while, I think...meh I don't really wanna look anymore-though that could also be due to me not having an AW shoot for such a long time.

                                        Hi, Kristin.
                                        I'd say you look great talking and you do indeed have a great voice too. Very robust and a nice range of pitch. But I can understand where you're coming from because even I still do a double-take when I hear my own voice on the radio in a commercial I did or on a station ID I did on one of the local TV stations. You too may have had chance to hear my voice in the narratives of some of my vids on my YouTube channel. But people tell me that I do have a terriffic voice and that's probably the primary reason I get hired to do those things, and I truly love and have fun with doing voice work. I always have since I first got into radio a couple of decades ago.

                                          I can totally relate to this Kristin.
                                          The very first video i did i was super unhappy with and i think it put me off doing any more videos... Now, the reason i say this is because i looked back on the video and realised i wasn't relaxed at all.
                                          Which would explain why it took me 56... that's right... 56 minutes to orgasm!
                                          Mind you when i did finally orgasm it was absolutely awesome.
                                          It took me about a year to do another video and i was still unhappy with that - still not being able to relax in front of the camera.
                                          I'm glad i persisted though and feel i've really relaxed for the AW crew and i really enjoy myself here! Hmm, hope those comments didn't come across the wrong way, but just wanted to say i simply couln't relax in the beginning.... *end rant*

                                          (Laila: Oh totally, it's amazing how you can not hear your own accent...

                                          Unique and beautiful snowflakes, that's so sweet.
                                          And i'll have to find a video of you now so i can hear your accent...

                                                You can hop on over to my YT page and check 'em out. There 's Back to the Future-the Ride, Horizons, Soarin' over California, and a whole bunch of others that I've produced for this channel. Have a look around and let me know what you think.

                                                    Aw, Laila. *blush* Yes, I must admit you are on my "videos to find" list. Thing is, I have little privacy these days to be watching Abby videos. Boo.

                                                    A thought though: I do reckon that we get better at talking in front of a camera, doing this. I certainly feel more confident about it, especially after having done a VNL. Crying shame those seem to have been permanently changed into those little montages. Well, I must admit I'm curious about the one video of me that's still in the pipeline. ^_^ Though I'm curious about that entire shoot.

                                                      I watched mine... i cringed lol. only coz im concentrating on all the bad bits. my mr also made me sit down and watch it with him there, he pointed out all the good bits . i think it was just a matter of getting use to seeing myself and listening to myself which was weird at first. I prefer looking at my pictures dont have to hear myself talk than lol.

                                                        Oh I just watched mine- nothing too shocking just stills and solo vid. I would struggle more to watch an IM of myself I think- but I'd have to otherwise I'd obsess over what everyone else was seeing thinking the worst! My girl and I watched my vid last night and checked out the stills. It was good for me because every time I said 'I don't like my breasts that way' or 'I look big!' she told me how good my legs are and how much she loves my intimate places and my tattoos. My only regret is that it was so hot in that bathroom- I like when it's cool and my breasts are round and my nipples are hard.

                                                        I also check out shoots from the other models, at first it felt weird but I feel proud of every one of us. I watch the videos because I'm curious to hear other model's experiences of doing AW and getting to know personalities and everything. When I first found out we did a video as well as stills I freaked out! but now I think it's lovely and adds an element of respect, we're not just a body we're real women with real lives and interests

                                                        It did inspire us to maybe make our own girl/girl video at home

                                                        kisses, Nell

                                                          I loved your breasts just exactly the way they were. Please make some ISM shots the way you like them and let us all compare. Homemade GG vid sounds great. Actually, any GG vid sounds great -- more sexy, curvy ladies to watch.....

                                                            Exactly Nell, the videos where the lovely ladies talk about themselves are the real point of difference for AbbyWinters.com. Makes you feel you are sitting inthe room having a chat with them.
