On all shoots, our Shoot Producers will do a Pre Shoot Briefing with you (more info), part of which is to ask how you can show our customers that you are happy and engaged .
This is a huge part of the “abbywinters.com paradigm” (paradigm means, the pattern our shoots tend to follow) – our customers pay us because we present happy and engaged models. When customers pay us, we can pay models to make more shoots.
If you’re not in the right headspace to make a shoot where you’re happy and engaged, let us know and we’ll reschedule the shoot – no problem. If you don’t let us know beforehand, and you’re unhappy or just disengaged, we might cancel the shoot (that’s really annoying for everyone 😐), and not book you for more shoots!
What we mean by “being happy” 😃
Happy (in this context) means “Showing pleasure”.
People having a good time is contagious – and sexy af! A lot of porn out there is pretty grim, and we aim to counter that by showing models genuinely enjoying themselves.
On a shoot, you’re smiling and excited (perhaps a little nervous) about the shoot and throughout the shoot. You’re having a good time on the shoot, and it shows! Of course, we do whatever possible to make this possible and our Shoot Producers are experts in keeping the mood just right to support you… but most of it has to come from you. It’s hard work for sure!
We do not expect you to be “manically happy” or “fake happy”, and we know that different people show their happiness in different ways.
Some examples include;
✔️ You have a positive mind-set on the shoot, considering how you can make the most of this event
✔️ You find ways to make the day fun for you. Chat with your Shoot Producer, get inspired by the setting or the props, bring music that makes you feel good.
✔️ You’re energetic with how you do things on the shoot – instead of taking off your T-shirt as if you’re alone after a hard day’s work you, make eye contact with the camera and take more time than usual, perhaps flirting a little bit or being playful with the reveal of what is underneath.
✔️ You do variations of happy – sultry-happy, sexy-happy, uncomfortable-happy, super-happy, laughing-happy, gently-happy (but never fake-happy!)
✔️ You set yourself small “silly” challenges, for example, sticking your buttocks out as much as possible when removing panties, or crawling like a cat.
✔️ You never have to be directed to “smile!”
Everyone shows their happiness differently, Andreea and Blossom are just some examples.
Our customers don’t want to see sad or angry models, models who act “too cool for school”, or worse, models who show no emotion. There’s a lot of material out there like that, but our customers come to us for something different.
What we mean by “being engaged” 🧐
Engaged (in this context) means “to actively participate; to be involved in”.
You’re interested in what’s going on around you, you’re exploring what’s possible in this shoot, and you’re excited to see what happens next. You’re exploring your sexuality with us, and you’re keen to do so.
You go looking for the next thing to do in a shoot, you’re suggesting things that are likely to work, because you’ve spent time talking with the Shoot Producer to understand what the shoot needs. When you experience pleasure, pain, or discomfort, you show it honestly and genuinely – the real you.
Some examples include;
✔️ You make an effort to complete the task at hand, eg, taking that yoga stretch all the way .
✔️ You notice your feet are dirty when the Shoot Producer goes to take a foot close up shot, and clean your feet so they look good.
✔️ You check when your face is in the shot, and compose an appropriate facial expression
✔️ While drinking some water, you spill some on your t-shirt and it becomes all clingy… 🤪
✔️ You communicate with your Shoot Producer about your preferences (rather than “suffering in silence” if their approach is not working for you)
✔️ You turn your phone off for the shoot, so you’re not distracted
✔️ You ask the Shoot Producer how you can make the shoot sexier
✔️ You propose practical ideas within the constraints of the shoot day and paradigm
There are many ways to engage, and what Angelika and Blaire show above are not the only options.
Our customers don’t want to see models who are “disengaged” – who just “sit there and do what they are told”. Again, a lot of adult content is like that, and our customers think that’s boring.
