Newbie in Thailand with camera here.
 

Hello GFY'ers,

So I have finally made the decision to get into porn. Lord knows I have spent enough money on it over the years, now time for porn to pay me back a little.

Anyway, I do plan on starting my own site eventually, but in the mean time I would like to produce and sell content. I live in a tropical paradise with beautiful backdrops and beautiful and cheap Asian girls. I plan on doing HC and SC, maybe mixed in with outdoor activities which you would find in a tropical holiday location, if that makes sense. So I have a few questions:

Good idea/bad idea?

Is content general sold/licensed to one buyer or to several? (I think I see both happening on this board) Which is better?

How much am I likely to make from this? I know that's a very broad question and depends on a lot of things.

Is there a general formula or template which content buyers are looking for? Certain number of pics/videos, image size?

Is there any advice or suggestions you guys have for me? I know about 2257.

If anyone wants something specific let me know.

I was going to post some samples here, but it looks like I have to have 30 posts 1st.

Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning a lot from GFY.

don't do it until you've logged a few years here and have some photographer friends or you'll end up in jail quicklike.... you grease the wrong police, dont pay the girls enough, get a jealous or crazy one or another photographer doesnt like you you're done....

just my .02

i dont and have never shot content here for the reasons above.. i dont shit in my own backyard but maybes that's just because i know i dont have the skills to keep the right ppl greased, shrug.

and hit me on ICQ ill give you more reasons*

where do you stay in Thailand ? i live here for past 2 years

producing content is good idea if you know what you are doing, but doing it in Thailand i strongly suggest get some goverment officials like some army generals and head of police in payroll ,otherwise just enjoy the ladies and your own home made porn, Thai people can sell their daughter for money :) they will sell you out and share the money with the police be very carefull

The two posters above pretty much said everything important, but I'll add this:

If you enjoy your little slice of heaven and want to remain there, don't shit where you eat. Go shoot in another Asian country and then live in Thailand where you don't have to worry about being arrested and your home invaded.

If I had to do it all over again, that is what I would do. I'd live in one country and shoot in another one close by.

Thanks all for the advice. I had never considered "getting government officials on the payroll.." I'm not trying to build an empire here. I plan on staying under the radar, ultimately finding the right 1 to 3 regular girls to sort of be almost partners.

It is very difficult to stay under the radar in Thailand if you are farang.

I think the guys above pretty much gave you the best advice.

Content is dirt cheap now days. Not worth it imo

Thanks again for the input.

:thumbsup:2 cents:

"Pornography laws in Thailand prohibit all types of pornography. Production, distribution and possession with an intention to show to the public are criminalized. However, possession for personal use is not illegal. The law enforcement is relatively lax. Other forms of pornography such as yaoi and hentai are illegal but common over the internet."

Everyone is giving good advice to you. Unless you have the local police, and mayor on the payroll you are going to get sold out fast for the rewards. Long time a go a guy made Buddhist Thai porn, quite some wild stuff. He is still in a deep dark hole in some thai prison camp. Don't be that guy.

Thanks again all. Gives me something to think about.

Yeah I have seen that wiki. Not sure it's up to date, as I have found some other sources that say possession is outlawed now as well. I don't think anyone has ever been arrested for it though.

ummmmmmmm wow that great grrrrrrrrrrr

How can I contact you? I have a "safe" idea for you.

Bad idea... really really bad idea

In a country that you know those activities are illegal... I wouldn't even consider it.

Maybe your talking about the guy that did some real sick vomit/beasty/scat? Kinkythai? I can see why. Girls eating dog shit? :throwup WTF? Website is still up tho. I was thinking doing a bit more on the artsy side of things.

you can email me at SiamJoe<at>ymail.com

you'd definitely need to have police greased... 110% if you always watched italian mafia movies in the states and thought how bad it must suck to be the guys paying for 'protection' you'd be one of them heh
