You might be checking out the local babes in your area or researching ahead of time for a trip to Harlots Canberra. Either way, it’s important to understand what these terms mean to find the right adult services.

Sex Workers, Escorts & Babes; Oh My!

There are countless terms for intimate companions; sex workers, service providers, adult entertainers, escorts and babes just to name a few! The term ‘escort’ is a popular choice and when browsing Harlots, it refers to all service providers we work with. Where things can get confusing is when ‘escort’ is also used for what we call an ‘outcall.’

Your Place Or Mine?

When seeking out some erotic relief, you will have to make a decision; where will the booking take place? An ‘incall’ is where the client makes a trip to the home, hotel or establishment of the desired babe. This is often the more budget-friendly approach since your service provider won’t be charging you for travel costs.

On the flip side, an ‘outcall’ is where you get to kick back and relax while we bring the fun to you! At Harlots Canberra, we provide outcalls to homes and hotels across the ACT and surrounding regions. Outcalls are a great choice for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. For example, maybe your evening has already seen a few rounds of beers which means you can’t drive. Other people choose to stay home because of limited mobility, they’ve flown in for business and don’t have a car here or simply because they prefer to get dirty in the comfort of their own home.

Not everyone offers outcalls but you can find out on each of their profiles. Some establishments, individuals or advertising platforms will use ‘escorts’ to refer to all people offering erotic services and some will use ‘escort’ as a synonym for ‘outcall.’ To keep things clear, we will always confirm who does and doesn’t offer outcalls when you enquire. If you have any questions about who is available for a particular service, all you have to do is ask!

If you choose to offer outcalls to clients homes or hotel rooms or social dates like dinner or coffee, you will need to choose suitable outfits for going out. There are plenty of factors that play a part in finding the perfect outfit for outcalls. Here are the top 3.

The Weather

While wet T-shirts are a classic suggestive look, the rain can turn a sophisticated look into a sopping mess if you aren’t prepared. Consider investing in a stylish splashproof jacket or a mini umbrella if you are working in wet weather. Conversely, in hot weather, choose lighter clothing so you can keep cool and avoid sweating through your dress. 

The Destination

A sparkly cocktail dress may suit the glitz and glam of high-class hotels but for home visits, something less glamorous is less likely to catch the eye of snooping neighbours. If you are meeting the client for an activity before heading to the bedroom, then make sure your outfit is appropriate for whatever it is you have planned. No matter where you are headed, swapping the stilettos for something like pumps or kitten heels is a safer choice.

Your Service

While fetishwear is no longer practical, there are still plenty of ways to subtly hint at what’s in store! For dominatrices, there are plenty of black leather (or fake leather) jackets that match the kinky vibes of fetishwear. If your service is based more on companionship and connection than freaky sex, then consider a blend of casual & sexy.

Offering outcalls and social dates with clients can boost your earning potential and expand your skill set. Choosing a practical outfit goes a long way to setting up a seamless outcall experience. If in doubt, you can ask fellow escorts or staff at your establishment for their input. The perfect outfit will work with the weather, the destination and your plans for the bookings, plus make you look and feel fabulous!

Photo shoots don’t have to break the bank! While a professional shoot can be a great investment, it can be pricey especially if you are just starting out. Here are some tips for getting quality photos alone.

Equipment

Having a quality camera, tripod and lighting set-up would be ideal but they aren’t compulsory in order to achieve quality images! Any new-ish smartphone has a camera capable of good-quality images. Where possible, opt for the back camera, they are better in quality and don’t distort images as much.

For a tripod, I have had success using chairs, windowsills, countertops, a carefully arranged tower of books and even holding my phone between my feet while I’m on my back! Solo photos are tricky but get creative if you are after a specific angle!

For lighting, sometimes natural lighting by a big window is perfect (but be considerate of the neighbour’s view). If you need other lighting, standard ceiling lights can work but lamps give you more control over brightness and position. Coloured lights like LED strips or lava lamps can create unique colour themes that might help make your photos stand out!

Timing

The next issue to tackle is how to take the photo when you are in position. Here are some solutions:

• The inbuilt timer button (usually a choice of 5 or 10 second countdown)
• Headphones (the ones with cords); you can click the volume button to take a photo
• Commercial products designed exactly for this problem

But by far my favourite method is to set my phone to video, go pose and then come back to take screenshots of the video. It works like a champ!

Whether you are just getting started in the industry or looking to update your gallery, doing it solo is definitely possible! Give it a shot and see what works for you.

Happy snapping!
