How to Set Up an OnlyFans page

How to create an OnlyFans page

I’m seeing more demand for help setting up OnlyFans web profiles (viewer’s discretion). More likely than not, this is a reflection of the current economic climate as our country struggles to emerge out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than getting a job at a fast-food restaurant and bust their tail to make minimum wage, some sell access to pay-per-view photos or videos of themselves shaking that tail as a way to supplement income elsewhere or to become full-time models or brand influencers.

You may think, “Great, I get to make money having fun…” but STOP… Creating an OnlyFans page is not a decision that should be taken lightly!

What goes on the internet can often stay there permanently. It’s important for models to think carefully about what they share online and to consider the long-term ramifications of these actions.

There can be far out implications affecting their reputation or ability to get other work in the future.

What is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is a content subscription service based out of the UK that allows content creators to earn money from fans who subscribe to their content. Basically, it is the new business model for sharing photos and clips online.

It has a reputation for hosting risqué content because that’s what sells best and the platform offers adult-oriented amateur and professional models some appealing ways to make money while enjoying relative safety compared to doing in-person sex work like stripping in a seedy gentlemen’s club.

However, OnlyFans is NOT only for pornographic content.

In fact, content creators using the site include physical fitness experts, musicians and others who post regularly online. Essentially anyone who is sharing photos and videos on Instagram but wants to be set up to make money from it rather than just giving it away for free.

Family Fun at the County Fair

It’s been fair week here in Alabama.

Lovely Miss D at Summer’s End

The term “Goddess” is thrown around entirely too much these days.

Model Dallas certainly comes close to illustrating the great blonde American goddess. She’s from “dream girl” territory.

The Perversion of Democracy

I’ve been reading the U.S. State Department’s GEC Special Report on Russian efforts to impact our elections. Titled “Pillars of Russia’s Disinformation and Propaganda Ecosystem,” it is absolutely riveting to learn intricate details about the sophisticated networks and misinformation tactics they employed in 2016 and are enhancing and expanding now.

I highly recommend you read it, especially if you’re tempted to spread conspiracy theories on Facebook.

America’s free and fair elections are under attack!

Russian front groups, fake individual online identities, and state-funded media to sow disinformation and dissension about U.S. allies around the world. Russian intelligence operations have perfected the art of laundering distorted and fabricated narratives through media networks, covert hacking, international proxies, and others.

New Work with Madison

I did a new shoot with one of my favorites, Madison. My long lens makes social distancing a lot easier.

Alabama Model Search

The editorial team had a meeting the other day in which we discussed scouting new faces for magazine photoshoots. The comment was made that we should find more models who aren’t the stereotypical 18-25. It’s true that there is a power in finding representation in media, whether it is seeing a diversity of races or a variety of ages.

It makes sense. Who controls the money and makes family purchasing decisions? In my experience, it is the mother managing the budget, shopping for groceries, buying the kids back to school clothes and supplies, carrying the checkbook, etc. And she isn’t necessarily 25. I share this desire to photograph more mature men and women.

Of course, I am looking for interesting people to photograph of all ages, etc. From editorial to advertising to stock photography, it’s all about showing a blended variety of humanity.

In my 30 years as a professional photographer, I’ve photographed probably thousands of people. My interest in finding great faces to collaborate with is driven by…

An American Celebration

I enjoyed watching the Fort Payne Fireworks celebration Thursday evening. Due to the need for social distancing, the city skipped the usual on-site entertainment, which I think was the right call considering how rapidly the coronavirus is spreading right now.

I went with my daughter and watched from the parking lot of the Wills Valley Recreation Center.

The Russian Election Interference Playbook

I love America with all of my heart. That’s why I am very concerned (and angry) about foreign interference in our elections and our way of life.

Currently, the Russian government led by Vladimir Putin is meddling in our society, having weaponized social media in 2016 to affect the outcome of that year’s presidential election.

I feel bad for the Russian people, who’ve been victimized by their own sham election this week. Election officials there confirmed almost 78 percent of the voters supposedly backed constitutional amendments, one of which will see presidential term limits reset, allowing Putin to run for the job again in 2024 and in 2030 if he so chooses. Independent observers have cried foul, claiming the results are obviously rigged. Opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who urged citizens to boycott the referendum and not take part in legitimizing the outcome, called the results “a fake and huge lie.”

Bonnie and Clyde-inspired photoshoot

I did a new fashion photoshoot Tuesday with a new model, Bonnie W. It was loosely inspired by Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) who, along with Clyde Barrow, traveled the Central United States with a criminal gang during the Great Depression, known for bank robberies.
