How Instagram Helps Market Boudoir Photography

If you are in the business of modelling for erotic boudoir photography, much of your earnings could come through having a website with paid access for subscribers, such as Only Fans.

The problem with this, of course, is that nobody will instantly know you are out there if you set up such a site, although you may be serendipitously found by web image search in some cases. What you need is some marketing.

However, social media sites can prove a barrier to this, because they can have strict rules on nudity. While the odd picture might slip through, obvious nudity and anything clearly pornographic will soon be ruled out of order. Social media accounts can be taken down as a result.

At the same time, many models who do have website showing them in erotic poses can still use a site like Instagram in a different way.

The key to this is to arrange for the photographer to take a range of non-nude shots. This would include images like skimpy bikini shots, wet T-shirts or even naked poses where genitalia or nipples are tastefully covered to stay the right side of the censors.

Crucially, an account featuring such pictures may attract many viewers, who can then see the personal details of the account holder. This can include a link to a site or even a Linktree with several sites, which can provide more revealing pictures and paid access platforms.

Instagram is best for this because it is such a visual medium, based mainly on photographs and videos. Photographers themselves can use it effectively to promote their photos, so it also makes sense for clients to work with them in using Instagram.

This means both the photographer and the model can use images as a means of drawing people to their own sites by sharing them on their respective Instagram pages, ensuring that interested viewers curious to (literally) see more can then be steered towards sites not constrained by social media nudity policies.
