Where Can I Find Tickling Models

[ttx]

Hello,

I'm interested in producing some tickling videos, and i am looking for models. Does anyone know where i can find some? I need girls from all over the world!

Thank you very much. I will check them out.

Modelmayhem, fetlife

Not a good idea for a fetish photographer just starting out. People on fetlife, women especially, generally don't want to talk to anyone unless Master approves, certainly not for meeting purposes. It's not that it can't be done, but essentially at this time you're going to be what the industry calls a GWC ("guy with camera"), and people will be wary of working with you unless you come across really, really professionally. That's going to be hard on fetlife as everyone's on the defensive about guys wanting to "meet" them.

And Modelmayhem/One Model Place both frown upon adult material/adult photographers and folks who try to sign up without any material to show, which someone with no models will have.

Your best bet is Craigslist, and then move on to MM when you've built up a respectable portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that you probably won't be able to show much, if any, of your work on your MM profile because, again, they ban adult material. They also charge a membership fee, and make non-paying members either pay a one-time fee to put out cattle calls or otherwise restrict contact to the models. Your videos' profit margins are going to be so low in the beginning that it won't justify these added fees unless you don't mind just throwing your money in a hole and hoping it magically works out.

So, yeah. Craigslist -> Gigs -> Talent Gigs -> profit.

I am going to have to disagree on some of this. Now the women you're describing are not what I call the serious fetish models. There are a lot of women on there who are professional fetish models and therefore have no silly/stupid must go through my master first before hiring me. My profile states of you're looking to play with me you must contact my boyfriend as well, but for hiring just write me. I also post around in the various modeling groups, where you'll find other fetish models posting as well.

You're right about GWC's getting a bad rep(I know I hate them), but I also understand a producer has to start somewhere. He is right about the coming across really really well. When I am deciding on wether or not I'll work with just starting out producers I always base it on how professional their first message sounds. Sending me their game plan i.e. what there plans are for their footage always helps as well. Allowing escorts may also be beneficial to you as well, until you have built up enough model references.

Yep, it's not absolute. It is, however, an added layer of annoyance that you won't get by going right to the source. You'd (the OP, not porcelaindoll) be surprised at just how many professional models troll Craigslist looking for work.

Building on this, the thing that's impressed most models about me despite my still technically being a GWC is that my Clips4Sale page looks professional and doesn't sound like it was written by a creeper. A lot of the producers out there simply don't know how to write copy that doesn't make it seem like they're typing with one hand, and that scares models off.

One thing I will advise against, however, is using escorts and/or other professional dommes/fetish models when you're just starting out. Unless your material is going to turn the industry on its ear (and honestly, if you're here asking about where to hire models, I highly doubt that it is), you're going to lose money on every clip you make... and that loss will just be compounded when you're paying market rate for a fetish model. It's much easier to eat the cost of filming a clip when you're using a coed off of Craigslist who's working for $40 an hour versus Ruby Peakes* who's asking $300. Once you get an idea of how much profit your clips are generating, then you can start hiring models within that window.

* I have no idea if she really exists.

BS what impresses them is money.

Huh. I guess the girls who've told me flat-out that I was their first foot fetish shoot because all of the other guys who contacted them were too creepy must've been my imagination.

Generally speaking, a model won't take a job if the dude offering it trips her creeper alarm. Can he offer her enough money to look the other way? Possibly, but you can be darn well sure she'll bring a chaperone.

I've gotten referrals from at least three of the Sole Mates. Barbie connected me with Natasha, Teri referred Catherine to me, and Ash has vouched for me to like six of her friends. Never underestimate what being professional and treating the models like human beings will do for you in terms of good will.

I think i understand what you mean guys. You may disagree, but your conversation is really helpful to me. It seems being a non US based video producer makes it impossible to do this. Living in Europe myself, it's really hard to find good-looking models willing to be tickled for money. I wish i had some guys here and there recording the clips with their own camera, but i suppose that's hard to do too.

Are you serious? Where in Europe are you?

Rosando & TurtleBoy don't have any shortage of smoking hot ticklish models, and the last time I looked, both the Czech Republic & the UK were part of Europe. Cavum also seems to do well for himself, perpetual darkness not withstanding.

 

[porcelaindoll2]

I've been wondering where you're from as well. I am not saying you could or couldn't find potential models here, but it would be nice to know where you're from.

I like to think Cavum picks up hotties at rock clubs and takes them home for fun timez

I stumbled across this site the other day and joined. It sadly doesn't have that much going for it fetish wise, but I do notice more fetish people joining it. It is mostly porn producers/photographers right now and sadly guys that look like they are trying to use as a way to bang chicks(Good thing I don't do b/g stuff).

If you are living in Europe, I should begin with call girls or escorts, who can be legally engaged and who, by arrangement, will allow you to film them. Just be up front about what you want. That should be fine to begin with. I have sometimes seen European porn actresses offer their services in some of the brothels (called "studios" here). Many of them are ticklish, as I found out some years ago when I last tried it out. A number of the studios have dungeons with bondage equipment.

Then I once read how the Tickler in Black here came by some models. He described how he had gone into a mall and simply asked a number of girls if they wanted to earn $200 for an hour's work. If they showed interest, he asked them if they were ticklish, described exactly what they were required to do and managed to recruit enough for his day's shooting. Naturally his personality and approach had to be beyond reproach, but he was a man who could deal with people without creeping them out.

Besides this there are numerous model sites which are the European equivalent of Model Mayhem such as http://www.model-suchmaschine.de/ in Germany or http://www.fotocommunity.fr in France. I don't know where you are, but you would, of course, have to speak either French or German to navigate the sites. Fotocommunity.fr allows you to search for international models.

Naturally a lot depends on your location and language, as a lot of well-meaning advice may not be appropriate in your situation at all. On the other hand, if you are in any of the bigger European cities like Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, London etc, I'm sure you could go into any mall where there are a lot of immigrants that look as if they are out of work and make them an offer.
