Erotic photography model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erotic model

An erotic photography model or erotic model poses for sensual or erotic photography which is used in exhibitions, art galleries, books, magazines, calendars, as well in other formats, mostly internet, DVDs and magazines. Erotic models pose in an explicit manner, rather than in artistic or implied styles where not everything is shown. The model can pose nude or wear lingerie, swimsuits, etc. No qualifications are required to work as an erotic model beyond being of legal age. The themes used in erotic photoshoots can be diverse, and it is up to the model and photographer to determine what the shoot will entail, so the model has to be aware of their limits.

Erotic photography modelling is sometimes considered to be a type of sex work. It is often combined with other types of sex work as part of the gig economy. Examples include phone sex work, fetish modelling, webcam modelling, pornographic acting, erotic dancing, lap dancing, erotic massage, escorting, sex club hostessing, dominatrix work and sugar dating.[1]
