My next step toward the fetish porn chastity lifestyle came by way of Fetlife.
Eager to create more content, I started searching the legalities to protect myself. A “fetish friendly” attorney had written a post on a group about publishing content so I reached out to him.
That conversation was a crash course in learning the ins and outs about the legalities of the porn business.
Even without profit, the attorney advised me to have a contract proving the model was doing the shoot voluntarily, was getting paid and that I had full rights to use the images. The lawyer also informed me about the 2257 law, which requires porn producers to maintain records that prove the models are of age.
All this, just to shoot some free content for Tumblr posts.
Not knowing how to find models, I did online searches for adult talent agencies. Most wouldn’t return my calls or emails, but one did and he told me I would need at least two verifiable references from models I had worked with. So I contacted the massuesse and she agreed to vouch for me.
He accepted her reference, but I was still one short and I needed to find that model!
Constantly exploring Fetlife during this time, I found they had model forums. Fetish models would post when and where they would be traveling so they could line up shoots.
It is important to know that a fetish porn model is not a porn star. Porn stars do hardcore content, but fetish porn models tend to do soft-core imagery. It is a night and day difference.
Every lady is different, has limits and they all must be treated with respect.
I watched the group forums for weeks. Then one day I saw a post by a model who it turned out, lived only an hour from me.
I checked out her profile. She was gorgeous!
I private messaged her with an explanation of what I was trying to do and asked if she would consider shooting with me.
That model was Nadia White.
Nadia had been a porn star, appearing in a lot of clips shot by independent producers. She had left the business to pursue a career in legitimate film. (Plus she was in a relationship.)
Filming an independent movie, Nadia was also working a job, and had decided to get back into fetish modeling.
Nadia didn’t usually respond to PM’s if she hadn’t heard of the producer. She told me my message stood out because of the way I composed it. (I wish I could remember what I wrote.)
So we set up a shoot and I reached back out to the lawyer to get my paperwork ready so I would be covered.
I’ll tell you about that shoot in the next post!
