Frequently I am asked by male porn fans how they can get started in the porn industry. They want to know how they make contacts and get experience.

The answer in two words, ‘private collection’. A private collection is your ticket to a top of the line adult industry portfolio that helps you find other work and showcases your talents. Private collectors often contact photographers and videographers wish to contract them to perform a specific type of shoot with particular adult models or with models from a particular genre. (This is not a sex for money deal. Selling sex for money is still illegal in the United States but exchanging money for a finished product, i.e. photos or video is still legal.)

The cost of a private collection contract varies depending on the terms of the agreement. If you wish to own the copyrights to the material, which you’d need if you were planning to resell the final product, then the price is typically much higher, $5000+ for hardcore video and $800+ for hardcore photographs. If you are only contracting for limited use rights, i.e. using a few photos or video clips that freely given away as part of a portfolio, then the price is substantially lower, $1200+ for hardcore video and $400 for hardcore photographs. Obviously the particulars of each contract are different and the price can fluctuate greatly if you are looking for a ‘known’ model to be a video co-star or the photograph subject matter. To even further complicate the issue, some known models can be very expensive or are unavailable due to other contractual obligations. Fortunately most female adult models don’t contract with a production company on a permanent bases so many of the models you see online doing self promotion are available for private collection work.

You can also expect that an current STD test will be required if there will be penetration included in your collection. Most industry professionals use the AIM, Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, testing company as the standard for http://www.aimcheck.org/.
