Check out a sampling where even some of these handpicked photos can describe the safer side of what I’m talking about.) I realized the majority of people who used MM were the same kind of people that use porn sites, except that they have to have an artist’s portfolio, which is the only qualification for signing up. (This could be taken as a feminist approach but the fact is, the more erotic and explicit the photo, the more views and comments it received than any of the other photos in the portfolio, and there was always a better looking photo that didn’t receive more, if not the same, attention. I absolutely get it, it’s sexy, but there are so many that are shown through such a masculine lens that it just feels like this could be a softcore porn site, especially when you can see the whole body like you would on a centerfold. I’ve seen a number of these shots that are risqué without being very poetic or unique, it looks more like it’s straight out of a hokey Playboy magazine ripoff. Many of these pictures are erotic, but the thing is that they aren’t just sexy and provocative, they were made in the male gaze. Personally I want to try out most of the photographic genres, like boudoir, a kind of border between the fashion and erotic genres. At first I ignored it because it’s an art form and I wasn’t working in that area, but after awhile, the amount of nude and suggestive material that was constantly showing up was beginning to bother me. What I saw was a handful of portfolios loaded with semi-pornographic shots, in another words, erotic photography. I started to notice a trend on the site while browsing for models and also while checking out the competition in my area.

It’s almost like a dating site for artists (primarily models, photographers and stylists) where you list your traits and professional qualifications and message one another for potential collaboration, either paid or “time for print,” another way to say “for free.”
It’s a site where people can both display their abilities and find other talented individuals for mostly photographic projects. As an amateur photographer, getting connections and having a group of models was useful for my hobby, and I found out that a good friend and model was using ModelM ayhem.
