How do I know what to say and do?âThe first shoot a model makes with us is normally a Solo shoot (that is, youâre the only model on-set). We have a whole separate FAQ on how our girl girl shoots work, one for how our Video masturbation shoots work, and a whole separate site on how our girl-boy shoots work).
Our goal in a Solo shoot is to get to know you as a real person.
Only you will be on-camera, but your Shoot Producer will be there to support you every step of the way â they are experienced in working with first-time models, so you just need to relax and be yourself, and you will do well!
âI couldnât have been more prepared, honestly. Brad [Shoot Producer] communicated everything well with me and AW communicated everything well with me. I donât feel like anything was missedâ (Davina, Aug 2021, âExplicitâ Posing Level).
Stills firstâŠ
On a Solo shoot day, often your Shoot Producer will start by doing the photographs first (more info on how a shoot day works), so you can chat as you work and learn more about who your Shoot Producer is and what they need you to do (shooting stills goes for a few hours). Models have told us that this helped them gain confidence ready for the video in the second half of the day.
âI liked doing the photoshoot first because I felt more prepared to do the video scene. You know what to do and you feel more comfortable. I liked that, everything was pretty great! â (Amalia P, Nov 2022)
Video next
The video is similar to what you did for photographs but this time, you will also talk about yourself, and do some movement.
We know that some models are anxious about talking on video, they have said they were worried that they wouldnât know what to say or how to make themselves seem sexy â fair enough!
However, your Shoot Producer has prepared interesting questions to ask you throughout the video, so you will not have to come up with what you need to say on your own â you just need to answer the questions honestly (theyâll often ask questions that can be answered with a story from your life).
âI talked about gaming on my SwitchâŠI talked about growing up from a bisexual girl to a bisexual woman and how that shaped my world and my relationships. I talked about my friends and what we do when we hang out together⊠Yeah!â (Bonnie T, Mar 2022)
As this shoot is about you, your Shoot Producer will only ask you about things you already know, for example;
If one of your hobbies is playing Dungeons and Dragons, she might ask you about how you create your characters.
abbywinters.com is all about showing real women in natural settings, so we do not want you to try and âact sexyâ (we reckon youâre already sexy, for who you are!).
Hereâs some more detailed information on the two aspects of a shoot that are unique to video, Conversation, and Movement.
âUrsula [Shoot Producer] has the ability to come up with a good prompt! She nods along behind the camera if youâre moving in the right direction [while talking]⊠It is really helpful.â (Elise V, Jan 2022)
Video aspect: Conversation
Our customers want to learn about you as a person. Throughout the video shoot, the Shoot Producer will ask questions about your experiences in life. Earlier in the shoot, these will be about more general topics. Some examples include;
- Describe yourself.
- How do you want to be remembered?
- Describe the happiest moment of your life.
- Who has been the biggest influence in your life? How have they influenced you?
âIt was slightly different from what I expected⊠I thought it would be one 30-minute video. I was worried about this! It was shot in little clips with little breaks. It was comfortable and I understood what to do. It was really perfect! I donât know what else to say⊠I didnât expect it to be comfortable and easy! â (Jessy, Nov 2022)
As you can see, the questions we ask tend to be âopen-endedâ (that is, they cannot be answered with a simple âyesâ or ânoâ â weâre hoping youâll answer each question by sharing a story from your life).
We always want you to tell the truth (that is, weâre not seeking made-up stories), and itâs never a problem to âpassâ on questions youâre uncomfortable answering â weâll edit that out. There are no right or wrong answers to our questions, itâs not a test! 
Later in the shoot, your Shoot Producer will ask more sexual questions. Some examples include:
- What sexual ideas have your friends had that surprised you?
- Describe your first intimate experience
- How do you give blowjobs; what is your technique, and what do you like about them the most?
- Whatâs been your longest âdry spellâ and how did you deal with it?
- Describe how you masturbate
Again theyâre open-ended, so thereâs room to share a story or two from your life. Depending on the Posing Level you have selected, the questions may be geared more around poses of that Posing Level (for example, the âInsertionsâ Losing Level includes masturbating and having an orgasm, so thereâll likely be questions about your masturbation and orgasms). At the lower Posing Levels, there will still be sexual questions, but they wonât relate to the Posing Level.
The Shoot Producer will always ask you questions to answer â youâre never told âOk, start talking!â. 
You Shoot Producer will often ask âfollow-upâ questions, seeking more details about a particular experience you shared. Theyâre trained to pick up on small details we know our customers want to learn more about (that might seem obscure to you).
Also, we normally edit out the Shoot Producerâs voice from the final video, so itâs best if you phrase the question in the answer, for example:
Shoot Producer: âWhat are you most proud of?â
Model: âI am most proud of getting my degree in biology, becauseâŠâ
Thatâs a good example. Itâs not so good if the model only answers âMy degree in biologyâ, because customers wonât know what sheâs talking about when we remove the Shoot Producerâs question. Itâs hard to remember to do this all the time, but your Shoot Producer will remind you.
Depending on how talkative you are, there are between 20 and 40 âmainâ questions, and usually dozens of small follow-up questions.
Itâs always fine to choose not to answer a line of questioning â you can just ask the Shoot Producer to stop recording, theyâll put the camera down, and discuss your concern. We encourage you to let us know when youâre uncomfortable, so we can work to make the shoot better for you.
Video aspect: Movement
Our customers want to see you moving your body, doing stuff. In between the Talking Stuff, the Shoot Producer will have planned several movement-based activities for you to do. If you have related hobbies or skills you told us about, this is when youâd be called upon to demo them.
For example, say you play hockey on the weekends
. Your Shoot Producer will have asked you to bring your hockey uniform, a hockey stick, and a ball, and get you to do some hockey drills clothed, then in the skirt with no panties, and later nude.
The Shoot Producer will shoot each drill from several angles (for example, from the front, and from down-low, behind), and several close-ness-es (wider, full-body shots, and some closer shots). Possibly, youâd be talking about hockey as well, describing some special moves or techniques, kind of like a hockey training video.
We need around eight separate movement sequences in the video, each one for a few minutes, spread throughout the video component of the shoot (so, some clothed, nude, and possibly at your higher Losing Level).
If you did not tell us about your hobbies, or you donât have any suitable ones, the Shoot Producer may have planned some more âgenericâ movement activities that donât require specific skills. Maybe climbing a thing, moving things, stretching, doing something on a set of stairs, or similar.
Activities you do on a shoot will be discussed with you on the shoot day, and itâs fine if youâd prefer to do something else (so long as it meets our requirements of moving around, like in the examples above. As a guide, in these movement segments, youâd be breathing heavily and sweating a bit).
Dancingâs always great, too. Some example shoots of ours that include dancing include Gabriela A, Jemima, and Leisl.
â
In addition to Conversation and Movement, your Shoot Producer will direct you through undressing, doing stuff with your clothes and personal props, doing some âmicro-activitiesâ (for example, brushing your hair or putting on a top with no pants, or caressing your breasts). All the while, shooting wider and close-up shots of you, from several angles.
Video is complicated to shoot, but your Shoot Producer is an expert and will support you at every moment. Itâs fine to ask for a break at any time and ask for more help if you need it.
Collaboration
Solo shoots are best when they are a collaboration between the model and Shoot Producer, so itâs great if you have ideas for conversation or movement â your Shoot Producer will love the help!
Though time is limited, and not everything is of interest to our customers, we may not be able to spend too much time discussing your Smurf toy collection!
âWe had many meetings about how to make the shoot. It was very professional and organised for different things. We made the shoot very well. We built the script, Adriana [Shoot Producer] and me! After I spoke with her, it was very collaborative. On my ideas, she always told me: âyesâ and for me, it was very exciting.â (Rita L, Feb 2022)
Solo shoots are quite structured and there are also a lot of shots our Shoot Producers have to get in a Solo shoot (these are requirements for them, and affect how they are paid for the shoot they make; these are all things you already know about in the shoot). You can see how we train Shoot Producers.
