Experience levels vary based on the event. Experienced models often get preference, but we like to encourage new people to become involved. Accommodations can usually be made to adjust for skill level, medical restrictions, and other concerns.
Events:
- Educational demo models: These are events where the model is used to show various techniques being taught. These events are typically clinical in nature involving repetition, and question and answer time, sometimes closer inspection by attendees. Some people may want to snap photos to help practice after class; that option is completely your choice, and can be limited to the rope as well as be restricted to personal use.
- Photoshoots or events – private, public, special events: These range from specific projects to the occasional group session. Typically, these involve a release spelling out each party’s rights and limitations. TFT/TFP (Trade for time/Trade for pictures) is the typical practice, but occasionally a paid option is available (Usually for group or special projects with a specific sale or promotion involved). Sometimes instead of a “paid shoot” a stipend is involved. Stipends range from lunch, clothing, travel, or basic inconvenience compensation. Instead, typically, both parties generally do it for the love of the project, activity, and outcome/art. You can check out our various suggested releases to get an idea of various options, and are open to your policy suggestions and requirements.
- Shows, demos, and other performances: These are generally live audience events. Some are public, and some are restricted by invitation or ticket. These events are often themed, or story-based, and range from a full show; demos-where we simply show off the work and abilities of the top/rigger/artist, and the model; other performances may also include sideshows, go go dancing, static work i.e. human plate or other concepts as directed by the producer. Thus, the scope can be a simple single concept such as rope only, or a broader [fetish style] concept. (See our quick questionnaire of some typical concepts)
With ALL modeling, you, the model, are in charge. You can request stopping, as well as changes.
Goals and concepts can come from the model, rigger, photographer, other individuals or groups, and are endless in options.
In the end, the goal for any event is to have fun. Examples of previous work can be found in the portfolio gallery. FBBR is primarily a promotional and networking group. We further the cause of Frolicking Beyond Boundaries [with Restraint]
