We sometimes ask our models for tips they’d give to new models working with us.
“The biggest thing would be to understand that this is a subscription-based website on the internet. You don’t know who is going to subscribe and who may see it. If you have any concerns about family, friends, or anyone else seeing it you need to think of that.” (Davina, Aug 2021)
“Bring your journal or something to express your feelings about what you’re going through. Be expressive, be vocal. Be proud of yourself for doing this kind of exciting leap in your sexual life… Talk to yourself in the mirror!” (Lisette, Aug 2021)
“You’re sexy as an individual and you don’t need to put on a performance.” (Clara M, Aug 2021)
“I felt like I brought a lot of good props, which enhanced my experience. So I would tell them to bring real, authentic props.” (Cara, Aug 2021)
“Once on the internet, you’ll never be off it. That’s the biggest advice for everyone. Make sure you know what you’re doing. Don’t stop after one shoot, because you’re already on the internet!” (Roselina, Jul 2021)
“I was told to bring things like a hairbrush or a toothbrush or jewelry. I took a bunch of jewelry but maybe I could take more. So maybe more jewelry or a scarf or glasses that I can work with.” (Alexandria W, Jun 2021)
“I would tell prospective models to think properly about it and take their time. Time is very important. That we conscience about what we are doing. You are selling your image and it is permanent. Take your time to think about it! That is my advice.” (Alaina, Apr 2021)
“The only hard part might be getting naked in front of someone else, but that is nothing when you think about it… It is just a social construct that you can’t do things like this. I would say that it is not as crazy as you think it is! It is actually a really good experience, a really good confidence-booster.” (Myra, Jan 2021)
“I would tell new models not to worry about applying! I would tell how good people are treated and I felt like I was doing something good, not something bad like the porn you see everywhere. I was treated like a person and a friend.” (Teodora, Jun 2020)
“I would tell her to just relax. I was nervous to begin with, not even naked and I was nervous, but I was completely fine! I would tell her to take her time and that she asks for lots of breaks, which is always fine. I would say if there were a few thing she didn’t want to share on camera just to say so, and move on. There were a few things I didn’t want to say, and Shoot Producer Hermann was great. In fact, he kept reminding me if I do not want to answer a question he would ask me a different one and he had lots.” (Brina, Jul 2018)
“I would say – you only live one life. It’s a legitimate company and the worse you can do is turn up and not like it and if you don’t like it, Abbywinters will be so accommodating with that, they would support you going home. The best thing is knowing that even if you changed your mind after the shoot, you have 5 days still to change your mind. When my friends were quizzing me to make sure this was a good idea I told them this and they were so impressed, for every question they asked me I had an answer ready for them as everything was so clear and open from their end.” (Jada S, Jul 2018)
