Thanks for the replies, Frankie. I was beginning to think this thread had disappeared, and I'm glad to see that you've brought it back. A "Talk to the Creative Director" thread won't work unless the Creative Director posts in it fairly regularly.
Regarding the two things I raised. I'm glad that talking about previous modelling experience is not forbidden. It's hardly ever done though, now, certainly not as much as it used to be. I may be wrong, but I think most members would be interested to hear what the model thinks about nude modelling, what made her decide to try it, whether she tells family and friends about it, and so on, and you can't really do that without knowing whether this is the first time or whether she's done a little bit before or a lot before. I can understand that you don't want models advertising other sites, but it's possible to talk about those things without using other sites' names.
As for eyes/pussy close ups, etc, I think it's a matter of proportion. I was just looking at Leah K's shoot of 26 August. There are 195 shots in the set. The last 95 are where she gets down to business with her dildo. Of those 95 shots, 35 are close-ups of her pussy, with or without dildo, i.e., the only thing on the screen is the pussy, no body, no eyes nothing else. It just seems like at least 25 too many. There are 110 shots after she takes her knickers off, and her eyes and pussy are in the same shot in no more than twelve of them, which works out at about one shot out of every ten. This is not a criticism of Leah, and it's not a criticism of Yvette, who was the shooter, it's just using that shoot as an example of how the emphasis is the wrong way around. In my opinion. I'm glad that you say that you're addressing this in your approach. I don't think the sets need to be any longer, in fact there are quite a few that are far too big already. I would have thought that in a set of say 200 shots, the ideal would be to see the model's eyes in about 75% of them, or 150 shots, and when the shot is showing her pussy, it should almost always be showing her eyes as well, ie she should be looking at the camera. And if it's an explicit shoot, I would have thought that about 10 or 15 pussy close ups, maybe 20 as an absolute maximum, would be about right, instead of the 30 or 40 or even 50 that we get in shoots now.
That's just my opinion, I know, but I think many others feel the same way.
