Are there genres that you'd like to try that are different from what people have hired you to do?

I think that when you do the same thing repeatedly, people automatically start to associate you only with that genre. In my case over the past 28 years that was art nude modelling for artists, classes, and photographers. During that time several of the people I worked with wanted to experiment with new genres but it was just a random attempt to try something different and I never seriously pursued it.

In looking over other portfolios since joining MM in 2012 (models, artists, and photographers) I find erotic and certain fetish work to be really interesting, and I would like to explore those genres more in the future. I don't think I'm too old at 62 to learn new things.
