A great set of photos can work wonders for your advertising. They capture the attention, spark the imagination and create craving in prospective clients. With nearly infinite examples of erotic photography online, knowing where to start can seem overwhelming. Here are a few key tips that will help you get started.

Inspiration

If you don’t even know how to pose, consider checking out the internet for inspiration. Not every pose will work for everyone; camera angle, lighting, body size/shape, mobility and props might force you to make adjustments to what you find online. Search terms like ‘boudoir photography’ are a good starting point. Pick a few favourites and use them as references for your own.

Props & Accessories

While the classic lingerie-and-heels outfit is a must-have for your gallery, there are plenty of ways you can add a little bit of spice to your photos without going over budget. A plain bed sheet can be used to cover up for some classy modesty in reclining poses. You can also drape it around you while you’re standing. If you offer kink & fetish services, consider posing with some of the toys. A standard dress tie can be a novel way to add some colour to an open-shirt shot or a creative alternative to cuffs or blindfolds for a ‘naughty secretary’ look. Think about what makes you or your service stand out!

The Background

You should be the centre of attention in these photos so make an effort to remove distractions from the background. Tidy up anything that is in the shot; knickknacks, pets, shoes and laundry are frequent photobombers that can take away from your photo. While mirror selfies have a certain casual fun to them, make sure your reflections don’t show more than you bargained for (and wipe down your mirror before shooting). 

Get creative and remember to have fun! It’s okay to take a hundred photos and only keep a handful of the quality ones. Happy snapping!

Sometimes the perfect picture just happens, but when you are trying to get a decent shot, posing seems awkward and uncomfortable. Here are a few pointers to help you polish up your photography game.

Hands

Where your hands are in a photo can be the difference between ‘effortlessly beautiful’ and ‘awkward robot-dance.’ Give your hands something natural to do. They won’t all work for all poses but here are some ideas:

• Playing with/adjusting lingerie, socks, long sleeves
• Scrunched in the bedsheets 
• Twirling/fixing your hair
• Run your finger tips over your body
• Hold a toy or prop
• Holding your dress/skirt

Feet

Just like hands, feet can make an image feel awkward or clumsy. The single biggest tip I can give you is to point your toes like a ballerina. Having your foot flexed (the opposite of pointed) disrupts the line of your leg and doesn’t look as well-composed. If you are struggling with what to do with your legs and feet, here are some ideas:

• A leg stepped up onto the edge of a bed, chair or bathtub (or someone’s back if you’re a domme)
• Legs up out of a bathtub
• One foot forward with a long, slitted skirt
• One or both legs in the air while you’re on the bed
• Crossed (but with your knees straighter than normal) in a chair or on a desk

Hips & Back

There are very few scenarios in which arching your back is a bad idea. Arching your back (a.k.a. sticking your butt out or tilting your hips/pelvis downward) helps create smooth lines from your head down to your hips and down your legs. It is particularly effective for adding shape and curve in positions like doggy or any photo angled from behind. For more front-on angles, pushing your hips to the side (usually accompanied by the ‘lower’ side foot taking a small step forward) can emphasise the shape of your figure.

There are plenty of detailed guides on posing for photos, including for boudoir/erotic photography specifically. You can also take inspiration from existing profiles. If I had to pick my top three tips to give adult industry advertisers, it would be these: keep your hands busy, toes pointed, and back arched.

Happy snapping!

Alongside printed material, X-rated video production echoed the social changes in the 20th and 21st centuries. Before the convenience of smartphones and on-demand streaming services, erotic recordings were subject to content and distribution regulations and depended on having access to the right playback equipment. For many teenagers in the ‘80s and ‘90s, this meant creeping downstairs to use the VHS after curfew.

Lights

When the lights went down, the restrictions on TV content slackened. This presented the opportunity to run ads such as the infamous ‘Gone Wild’ commercials that encouraged viewers to pay for the full video or purchase a subscription. Despite being aimed at an adult-only audience, there were still considerable regulations about what was allowed to be aired.

Camera

As technologies like handheld video recorders enabled filmmakers to record content more easily, videos of erotic material grew in popularity. VHS was available to the average consumer and the convenience of enjoying adult entertainment from home meant producers could portray more explicit scenes than a film aimed at a general audience. Despite this, regulations imposed censorship requirements and limited distribution channels. 

Action

The technological progress of the 1980s and ‘90s contributed to the booming popularity of erotic videos. VHS and camera technology were improving rapidly and the diversity of films available grew exponentially. Video rental stores, which are now a rarity in their own right, often dedicated a shelf to the XXX films. Exclusive adult-video-only rental stores opened as well to provide access to the huge variety of videos available. As the ‘90s rolled around, DVDs became the most popular platform for erotic material, offering better video quality and interactive menus to navigate through assorted media. Cable and satellite TV eventually relaxed their content restrictions and enabled pay-per-view adult films. The production and consumption of pornographic material became part of pop culture and erotic content brands became household names.

While still-image pornography remained popular, the rise of adult entertainment in the film industry was revolutionary. To go from taboo, printed images to on-demand TV meant a cultural acceptance of pornography in mainstream media. Even though DVDs are now considered outdated, X-rated content is frequently on the cutting edge of technological advances. This is true today, as artificial intelligence is being utilised in several fields including the production and distribution of adult entertainment. 

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Queensland, Mackay often flies under the radar compared to its more famous counterparts like Cairns or the Gold Coast. However, this vibrant city holds a treasure trove of unique attributes waiting to be discovered.

Sugar Capital of Australia

Mackay is often referred to as the “Sugar Capital of Australia” due to its significant role in sugar cane production. The region’s fertile soils and tropical climate make it ideal for growing sugar cane.

Beach Paradise

With over 30 stunning beaches along its coastline, residents and visitors have ample opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.

Great Barrier Reef Access

Art Deco Heritage

Mackay’s city centre shows off a remarkable collection of Art Deco architecture, dating back to the early 20th century. The heritage buildings add character and charm to the city.

Tropical Climate

Mackay enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures throughout the year. This makes it a perfect destination for those seeking sunshine and outdoor activities.

From its sugarcane fields and historical features to its stunning natural landscapes and vibrant cultural scene, Mackay invites visitors to explore its hidden treasures and create unforgettable memories in this coastal paradise.

At some point answering texts and calls, we hear the phrase “this might be weird, but…” The first time I heard someone say that, I braced myself for something extreme but after a while, I realised that the vast majority of requests are far more normal than clients realised. So, in an effort to destigmatise these things and put your mind at ease next time you reach out, here are some common “this might be weird, but…” requests!

“…do your ladies offer pegging?”

Absolutely! There are plenty of our ladies who offer pegging. The biggest hurdle when making a booking with pegging is giving us notice so that we can let the lady know to bring in her gear. Don’t stress if you are in a time crunch, though, we often have some toys available for sale at reception. 

“…what about golden showers?”

This request is way more common than most people realise! We will need some heads-up for this booking too of course, but it’s offered by plenty of playmates.

“…I don’t even want to have sex”

While we love getting steamy, we all need to slow down sometimes. Spending time alone with another person cuddling or even just talking is an under-rated way to recharge. Human contact is lovely, and any of our playmates would enjoy the chance to unwind with you.

“…I’m a virgin”

So were we at some point! Who better to explore intimacy with than a qualified sexpert! You don’t have to disclose this kind of info to anyone, but if you are nervous about getting it on, our playmates can slow things down and make sure you’re looked after.

“…I have this fantasy”

Chances are, we have heard it before and are more than happy to make it come true! If you are interested in fantasies, role-plays and BDSM bookings, it’s important to keep in mind that not every lady offers every service. Once it gets down to the nitty-gritty details, you will have to come in to have a chat with the lucky babe in person.

As long as you are respectful of us and our answers, we don’t mind what your request is! There’s no point keeping it a secret if we could make it come true!

So, you have decided to find some company for the evening and now you are faced with deciding upon who the lucky companion will be. With such a huge selection available, there are a few tips & tricks to help narrow it down.

Profiles and Ads

To avoid the heartache (and possible cash lost) of a catfish, check that the profile is authentic. Plenty of platforms have a verification system that marks profiles as ‘verified’ once they have completed certain identification measures. If you book a private lady, be prepared to provide deposits or ID. It’s a security measure for them but can be risky for you. Booking through verified agencies/brothels is the easiest way to maintain your privacy and meet the lady you saw online.

Looks

Beauty is more than meets the eye, but there’s no shame in admitting if you have a ‘type.’ Whether it’s blonde, brunette, BBW or busty, you can definitely find someone who catches your eye! Don’t be afraid to mix it up though, it’s always fun to try new things.

Extras

What you have planned is also an important factor when choosing a companion. Standard service at Harlots includes erotic massage, handjob, protected blowjob and protected sex. Anything else is an “extra” and not all ladies offer all extras! When booking, be sure to confirm that the lady you like offers the extras you want. We can often help direct you to ladies who offer what you have in mind. 

When and Where

Location and timing are next on the list; check out their availability/shift times and make sure you are asking for a booking within those times. While by-appointment bookings can be made under certain circumstances (like for regular clients, multi-hour bookings and/or by paying a non-refundable deposit), it’s best to stick within the listed hours when planning a booking. Keep in mind that the laws of your state or territory may impact whether or not outcalls are available and the legality of booking a lady privately.

Personality

One of the biggest attractions of meeting in an establishment is the chance to chat with multiple ladies before deciding on who you would like to spend some time with. This means you can get a feel for their personality before committing to paying anything. There is also the added bonus of the possibility of booking two ladies at once!

Regardless of who you end up spending time with, Harlots promises quality companionship and a wide selection of ladies to choose from. There’s never been a better time to come and see for yourself.

While the experience we aim to provide transcends mere sex appeal, there is no denying the drool-worthy photography that helps make it happen! Photos are such a crucial part of advertising in the adult industry for several reasons.

1. Capturing Attention

High-quality images have the ability to immediately draw the viewer’s attention, inviting them to explore further. Whether it’s a sultry glance, an alluring pose, or an evocative scene, photos have the capacity to create an instant connection with the audience. Our written bios allow for some more details but the photos are the real eye-candy. The simple eroticism of photos helps remind clients exactly what they are looking for.

Everybody has their type, and there’s no shame in knowing exactly what you want!

Often, these pictures are partially obscured for privacy, so you’ll have to come in-house to see everyone’s beautiful faces!

5. Getting To Know The Escort

Photographs can help clients get to know each of the escorts, what they offer and a bit about their personality; perhaps they are reaching out to warmly embrace you, or are shackled up in The Dungeon!

6. Establishing Brand Identity

We had to include this one; using consistent colour palettes, logos or styles helps create consistency. It can enhance the portfolio of an individual escort or help identify escorts as part of Harlots! This makes it easy to spot our escorts online so you know what to expect when booking.
