Some of these sites might apply, but it depends what you mean by alternative modeling.  SG is first on your list.  Are you considering that the paradigm example of an alternative girl site?  You probably already know this, but there are a number of threads in the MM forums about how restrictive SG's modeling contract is.

Some of these sites are more goth (or other tangents) than alternative - if you want to make that distinction.  And some are basically nice looking, but professionally managed, soft porn sites and may not have the forums/blogging features.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the long list. I am simply referring to alt. model sites that offer pay for photosets. As stated before: it's merely a list for a friend.

SG being first on the list doesn't mean anything at all...it's the first I just so happened to type. I am a past-suicidegirl and I have refused to sign thier latest contract. As stated previously...I have my own opinions already...I am just looking to add to the list for a friend of mine who has asked me for a list.

deviantart.com

not the same as deviant nation, its a great site for models, photogs, writers, artists. It's free and I have over 300 pics up on it myself!

Thanks. I'm a member as well. But I'm looking for alt. *paid* sites. A photograher friend of mine is trying to help some models out...looking to generate a little more income.

They don't. They occasionally invite "guest" photographers, but don't allow random model-submitted sets. Just FYI

Good advice.  SG is bad news.

If you have info on the terms/policies of these sites, people (including me) might be interested in learning:

- What do they pay per set?
- Is there a min or max number of allowed sets per model?
- Will they use outside photographers?
- Are models held to a non-compete type agreement?

Thats a great question... Now I'm curious...

I know quite a bit about several of the sites listed in this thread. Anyone curious is welcome to message me about any specifics and I'll give you what info I can, as typing it all out here could take half a page (and I have some opinions on a few of them that might be best left up to private discussion, lol)

and yes, take suicidegirls off the list.
why the hell do girls even want to be on there still??
i think i'm going to start a thread about it.

Because it pays.  $500 for a set.  Some people need money.  Just a thought.

Other sites pay as well, in fact, because some of them pay percentages of memberships, you're likely to get more money in the long run.

Then factor in the fact that SG sometimes holds off payments to models b/c they did something wrong and didnt tell her. Ive also heard stories ofmodels not getting paid simply because their view count wasnt very high.

Not to mention, that with otehr sites, you're actually ABLE to shoot for other sites as well, including your own. However, if you do SG and EVER shoot for another website - EVEN YOUR OWN - they'll sue your ass off.

Are there any that you don't have to be nude for?

Probably not.  Without nudity there wouldn't be enough revenue to pay the models.

Great, $500 once IF they're lucky and then they can never work for anyone else again.

I am with Gods Girls and they have been great to me. I am shooting my 1st set for them next week. Deviant Nation is also a great site to be apart of. they are a really friendly and creative site Hope this helps!

LOL - without the nudity there wouldn't be enough revenue to pay the cost of the bandwidth.

SG pays 500 dollars each to the model and photographer for a set consisting of 40-50 or so images

There is no restriction to the amount of sets you can submit each month
the models now have a non exclusive contract
I'm not sure about the photographers exclusivity... I believe you can't shoot for competitive sites for two years or whatever...
but
You definately wouldn't make the amount of money as you would with SG so does that part matter?
