Hello everyone,
I was directed here by a camgirl who told me this might be a good place to reach people that might be willing to sit for my project. I'm a German photographer and while I mostly do editorial portrait work, this tumblr (http://www.camgirlbrb.tumblr.com/) inspired me to do a project I've been thinking about for a while now. I'm intrigued by the idea of how camgirls/-boys create and decorate this somewhat elaborate frame in which they perform - and while I assume that most of them probably don't put too much conscious thought into it, they still create a stage stage in which they are being perceived. So my idea was to use this stage and the medium they've chosen - video via webcam - to portrait them. Not necessarily in a sexualised manner, but more of a classic portrait (I would like them to be in their work attire, but not to perform).
So I was wondering if any of you would be willing to sit for me or if you have any other ideas on how to approach performers for this project?! I'd be very happy to provide proof in a private mesaage that I'm in fact a professional and serious photographer and not some creep trying to get a free ride. I could either send this to an admin/mod or provide it individually for whoever considers to participate.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
