Expert: Dan Pepper - 10/7/2009


Question
Hello my name is Mandi I am 18 years old and live in Colorado. Is there any way possible to get started in this industry in Colorado or take nude photographs?? I have been interested in doing this for a long time and not to sure how to get started. I do go to school full time so I wouldn't be able to move anywhere, but still want to be apart of the porn industry. I am a cute girl, and have a good body, just need some advice on how to get through to this industry. I am willing to do anything, such as lesbian shoots, straight shoots, multiple people. I am not picky and will go for anything!! Thank you so much for your time, and I hope to hear from you because I would love to get started in this industry and hope to make some good money on the way as well!!

Answer
Mandi,

I don't know of many producers in Colorado, so it may be hard to get into this line of work without doing some travel.  I've listed some agencies below you can contact.  Also, if you contact me directly through www.adultwebsitelawyer.com, I may be able to connect you with some people I work with in the business that might be interested in talking with you.
