What is 'web content'?
I see several models & photographers saying they want to shoot 'web content'. Can someone clarify this term, please? Jun 04 09 04:25 am Link content which will appear on the web?  Jun 04 09 04:26 am Link SCRetouching wrote: Haha, okay... but is it like stock, just for web use? I know it seems kinda obvious, but I guess for me it's not registering. For example, I am familiar with "adult content" and wanted to clarify if this was or wasn't the same thing as "web content", or if it could be. Jun 04 09 04:27 am Link As a "web content" provider, I am familiar with web site design but consider graphic arts and photography and retouching to be my strongest areas of talent. If someone needs visual images for a web site, I can photograph their required subjects, (models, products, locations) and then optimize those photos for use on their web site. Web content would be ANY visual appearing on ANY web site. I have shot for online fashion catalogs, items for sale on Ebay, homes for real estate agents and models for paid web sites. All of these would be web content. Jun 04 09 04:38 am Link Web content, refers to content generated specifically to add to a web site. Either to update a collection for online sale or to promote recent activity. Jun 04 09 04:40 am Link well when i say web content i mean a set of photos to be submitted to a paysite, such as godsgirls/inkygirls/zivity... it's almost always adult in nature, but sometimes only implied nudity. =] Jun 04 09 04:41 am Link Emily Carrington wrote: When a photographer talks about shooting web content it means all the photos and video clips that members are paying to access on paysites.

Before everyone goes batshit, yes, there are exceptions. But generally it's porn. Jun 04 09 06:06 am Link It's a euphemism for porn. Technically speaking, it doesn't mean porn. However, just like when you call a girl curvy, she thinks you are calling her fat, so too if you ask someone to shoot web content with you, they think you want to shoot pics of them masturbating Jun 04 09 06:11 am Link Davepit wrote: I always take curvy as a compliment. Maybe your should say "slim and very curvy" instead. =p Jun 04 09 06:15 am Link Generally the term Web Content means materials catered to web only. We use the term Web Content often in the Web Designer / Web Development world. However, since the market your involved in, I would venture to say that perhaps the posters above might be accurate in saying the term used as Web Content, is probably describing material that is adult nature used for the web. good luck Jun 04 09 08:00 am Link Whenever I've seen models say they'll trade for web content, they most always mean web content that will end up on their pay site. Addendum: Also web content that will mostly end up on pay sites model is on. Jun 04 09 08:09 am Link generally GWCs who find a model that has an "adult/porn paysite" who either dont want to or cant afford to pay her whatever her hourly rate is for such work (often hustler spread (not legs but lips) or solo masturbation or even G/G or B/G) will offer to shoot her "web content" for "TFP" and (hopefully) provide her with a license release (for perpetuity?) to use those images/content on her website additionally GWCs or men in general will cast for "POV" shoots with "no model release/not for distribution" where they are the "B" in the B/G shoot...its allegedly a technical way around soliciting a prostitute by virtue of it being filmed...i leave it to the MM legal photographers to debate the constitutionality of such alleged shoots as not falling under "solicitation for prostitution" Jun 04 09 08:54 am Link adrian louise wrote: In the context of what Emily is asking about, I'd say this is the most likely answer. Jun 04 09 08:56 am Link No answer you get here will be more accurate than the one provided by the person who said that to you. Jun 04 09 09:15 am Link I've heard it to mean both paysite material (godsgirls, zivity, SG, etc) and online catalogue/product for clothing stores and such. its just a very general term and isn't clearly defined. However to those people out there with online stores that think " I need to take pictures of my products for my site" it's a useful term to have in the list of things you do. Jun 04 09 10:01 am Link Usually the term refers to adding images to pay sites, or sometimes free sites hoping to make the trasition to pay site. The images are almost always glamour, bondage, fetish, art nudes or erotica. Jun 04 09 10:05 am Link Yeah, porn.

The 72dpi is for web content (MM, OMP, Their website, whatever they wish online) but if they try to print it it will be so pixelated that it will look horrible. Sometimes I shoot just for my printed portfolio and sometimes just for my online portfolios. Sometimes models hire me to submit photos online to whatever. Whether its used for my portfolios or so they can email a photo it is all considered web content. It doesn't mean porn (but I suppose it could). It simply means filler for an online something.

Jun 04 09 05:44 pm Link PYPI FASHION wrote: Absolutely. Just ask. If I ask for web content, it will NOT be for porn. I want to use some images for my website and do not necessarily want to use stock photos. Reason being, I've seen the same photo appear on dating sites or "maximize your love life" type of ads. Ick.
