Content

Hey everyone, I've been wanting to do this for a while now; but basically I want to get a general feel of how everyone feels about my Patreon. Growth has become stagnant since the start of a year, yet I'm working as hard as ever.

I would like to know if you guys have any suggestions, feelings, or complaints. Please write in the comments of anything you've wanted to get off your chest, or if you'd rather DM. I am open to criticism; don't be afraid and please everyone don't criticism someone else for their comments here. Let's keep it a judgement free zone while I try to learn about what you guys enjoy and what I could be doing better!

Also, please be sure to leave comments on posts that you like, models that you like, and setups that you like. It can be difficult to get a handle on what everyone loves when feedback is minimal, and I always aim to deliver more and better work!

Generally speaking I love the content, the info about the videos is lacking. how long is are the videos generally, in what resolution? Maybe post one to all tiers do get people excited.

This is really solid feedback, thank you! I didn't realize it was lacking. I guess I figured the trailers were great representations of what you would get, and I post a public one each time I post a new video. Videos are at 1080p and are the length of whatever song I choose for the video. Each trailer is labled with the song so you can see the length by just looking up that song. Typically 3-5 minutes a piece. Generally they are much like a $10 photoset in that they go from dressed to lingerie, and then often to nude. I shoot them at 1080 rather than 4k so that I can film at 120p for super slowmo footage which I use fairly liberally to make things match the songs and of course who doesn't love a beautiful woman in slowmo? Also as far as length goes, they are heavily edited, everything I do I try to aim for quality over quantity, and I feel that the videos are definitely still worth it. The majority of my patrons who join the video tier stay on it and don't drop back down to lower tiers. Edit: oh and I have a goal setup to shoot vids at 4k. If I reach that goal, I'll be looking into buying something like a RED camera to be able to continue to film at 120p while shooting 4k.

I would like to know more about you. You are a mystery. What camera equipment do you use and the settings, lighting? Also, there often seems to be too many images of basically the same pose. If there are 5 or 6 of nearly the same image try to pick the best one, instead of posting all of your shots. As you say 'quality over quantity'. Perhaps then you could post higher rez image files. I might be interrested in a higher tier, but I have no idea what those photo sets have that is different.

Hi David, thank you so much for your feedback! About me, hmm this is tough. When I started this business, my intent was to remain anonymous and let my work shine; I didn't want to become some character synonymous with my art. These days, I'm feeling slightly different about it, in that I don't mind much when people know who I am. If you want to know anything about me besides specifically like what my name is or something, feel free to ask, I'm a largely open book when it comes to my desires/interests/life. About my camera, I currently am using a Sony A7R IV with a Zeiss 50mm prime and I have a set of 5 speedlights/flashes, and 2.5 constant lights for video (the half is a miniature light I got for free with something I bought, I don't remember what) - of course settings would vary from shoot to shoot, but also they would vary on many images, especially if they were shot outdoors or using natural light, since the lighting tends to change a lot. Just as a general initial setup though, for studio work I often start out at 1/160, f5.6, and ISO 100, and then tweak from there depending on what I'm going for. For outdoors, I love to shoot wide open, so f1.4, ISO 100 and then shutter speed to match whatever the lighting is. I don't alway shoot wide though, such as when there is more scenery I would like to capture. It's all down to feel. In regards to the pose thing, they definitely aren't all of my shots, but I agree they aren't curated down a ton. I post to patreon everything I share with the models I work with, and when it comes to models I like for them to have as many options/variety as they may not like the same images I do of their expression or whatever it may be. I do indeed try my best to never have the exact same image, like if the pose and facial expression didn't even change in the slightest. But I'm sure I fail at that from time to time since of course I have a lot of content to manage. HOWEVER, with that being said, I HAVE been working to improve this aspect of things, and narrow down things a bit more because I've received this feedback in the past. But a change like that will probably take a good long while to be noticeable since I have a lot of work that is older that I am still sharing as it takes time to share everything I've made. Newer shoots will hopefully be a little better in that regard :). In regards to the $10 tier vs the $5 tier. The general rule I try to follow is nudity = higher tier. So most of the time whenever a set includes nudes, I will place it on the $10 tier, while keeping lingerie only shots on the $5 tier. Lately, I've been a little more generous and placed a few sets which included topless work on the $5 tier, but yeah that is still the main difference that I try to go by when posting. Of course past that you have videos, the trailers for which you can see on all of the public posts that are made for them :) Videos almost always feature nudes, not everytime but just about. I hope that clears some things up for you and thank you so very much for your continued support! It's truly appreciated!
