Hi! We've gotten the green light from Chandler to share unpublished images from the curtain/back glove set. It'll be 153 images and if we get enough sign ups (we're 4 subscribers away from hitting our goal) it's getting released under our Bankroll tier at patreon.com/illu this Monday, the 29th. Most of the money is going to Chandler and my hope is that we get to do new/exclusive shoots once she sees there's demand for her content.

Hi everyone, Neave here. I'm going to ask Chandler if she's open to sharing the set some of you are asking about. If she says yes, I'll share the set with her approval on my Patreon and do a split profit with her. This way we will be supporting Chandler, you guys get the content you want and everyone wins. If she says no then we will know where we stand :). I should have an answer by the end of this month or early July. Until then,

That's definitely an option and something I have an eye on. The biggest discouragement for models is photos getting leaked on the internet, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to share the work without having to put their comfort at risk. Once I figure that out I can make a more convincing appeal to them. Thank you for the suggestion it's definitely helpful.

Hello and thank you for your supportive words, Definitely! Having a platform that releases exclusive content behind a pay-wall is the same as running a magazine, so booking models for editorials would go through the same steps. So if a page has enough of a budget, they could book someone like Taylor Hill to do sets for the page (her agency rate is probably astronomical!). My point is though: if a magazine approaches a model's agency with a budget, a purpose, and a capable photographer/team, they will be considered. Not guaranteed that they would book, obviously it is up to the model to decide whether or not she'd like the job, but the conversation would happen. All of that to say: yes, down the line if the page is in a healthy place and has a budget, we could create the content we'd all like to see and have the budget to compensate the models/teams according to their standards. Thank you for hearing me out! Nice to connect with you.

Hey everyone, Neave Bozorgi here. Stopping by to share what Chandler and I are doing with your community and for your consideration. She and I are working together to create and share content through my Patreon page at a more consistent basis. I did a beach shoot with her last month that is on my page now, and a black and white set from 2017. I also feature a set from her camera roll under a section called roommate. The new set is going to be removed from the page tonight at midnight PST and become exclusive to subscribers of the Patreon page for free through a digital book I send out in a few days. The digital book will also contain photos she and I did from 2016 that I had never edited or released before. There is an ePub version of the book, and a printer-friendly PDF version for anyone who wants to print stuff. I will make a mention that none of the photos feature explicit nudity, only implied in some cases. The page is still in it's infancy (only been two months) There should be an alliance between content creators and people who want to see the content. I've seen how photographers over-charge and over-hype a page without caring about the models or business longevity, but there is an opportunity to work together in a way that can benefit everyone. So far, I have kept every promise I've made to my Patrons regarding content, and I run a different ship than most photographers who have started Patreons. In this case, Chandler is fully aware of my Patreon page and has gotten compensated for sharing her own content through roommate. I keep everything transparent and ethical with both the audience and the models. This is the case with every model I work with, and I can have access to any of them if I have the backing. Speaking of other models, I've also been talking to Gigi Paris and a few others about this project and creating new content exclusive to the Patreon page. Here's a preview page of the Patreon content hosted on my site, and here is the link to patreon. Please check out the preview page first so your expectations are set. I will not be posting nip-slips or anything without the knowledge of the models. That would not be ethical. That is all! If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer to the best of my ability. Take care folks.
