It's like I'm starting all over again...

So I made a very significant, and difficult decision last week. I decided, with the blessing of my parents, to start my own production company to launch hollyrandall.com as a member site totally separate from suze.net. This is the opportunity for me to finally branch out on my own, and attempt to achieve a distinctive style and separate business from Suze. I'm well aware that by following in my mother's footsteps that I pretty much just adopted her style, and didn't really get a chance to develop one of my own. I've done a lot of soul searching and changed a lot in these last two years, and I feel that this is the culmination of my growth as not only a photographer, but also as an individual. I don't know if turning 30 was the tipping point, but this has been a long time coming, and I've been ready for it for quite some time.
I'm still going to be working for my parents full time, but since Suze wants to start shooting again and production has slowed, it seemed like the perfect time to do my own thing. I know that this may not seem like the best economic climate to start my own business, but I am confident that I can build a fairly successful one. I am starting off with no financial backing from my parents, which is really the way I prefer it, but that does put me in a position in which I start off shooting on a shoestring budget. I welcome this challenge as well, and I am quite sure that I can still shoot and produce good content without having to throw a lot of money around. I'm working on a content trade basis with girls who have websites, and I've already got some great models lined up to shoot when I get back from Scotland in late October.
I'm not actually going into this venture to make a shitload of money so I can buy a yacht and build and infinity pool (though that would be nice) but I do think it will be a really good learning experience in teaching me how to become a better businesswoman by building a company from the ground up. I also think that the freedom which I have now to shoot what I want, combined with the challenges of not having the suze.net budget, will push me to become a better photographer. I am telling you all of this because I did my first shoot for hollyrandall.com today on Celeste Star, out in an abandoned dairy farm in the middle of nowhere. I have a few photos from the shoot to show, and I'm pretty excited about them. I know they're a little wannabe fashion-y, and possibly not really jerk-off material, but I will be doing more natural stuff as well. I realize that most guys may not find big pink eyelashes attractive. I just got a little overzealous on my first shoot, I guess.  Let me know what you guys think!

Holly, I know you will do well. You have a track record at being successful at everything you seek out to do. But really, your talent and work speaks for itself, and this is why I know you will be on top.
And those Celeste pics are stunning.

They look very fashiony/editorial, only with the model having forgotten to put various items of clothing on. It's good to see you branch out on your own, and you've always got the trademark Randall 'house style' to fall back on, so I say go for it, girl!

I liked all the pics except for the ones with the big pink eyelashes. (They were very distracting for some reason...) The rest of'em look fantastic. Hopefully you'll do more than take sexy fashionista shots though holly, I'd really like to see you do a good rough sex shoot for us. Somehow I think a woman's touch is exactly what that genre needs...

No one has requested the obvious...why not post your own shots from a few months back? Kind of an early membership gets the bonus pics?
Holly, you'll have a great career on you own and it will be even more rewarding than what you've already done.
Great move!

If you decide you want to shoot women like me for your new company I'd be on a plane to LA faster then your head can spin! I still dream of one day doing a shoot with you!

LOL that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me! But let's be honest-- there are a lot of photographers in the mainstream industry that are a lot more talented than me, and really I do love my job. I don't really want to move into the mainstream world, believe it or not. I do mainstream jobs from time to time, but when it becomes a situation where I lose creative control, then I'm not happy doing it.
Note to self: bring bug spray next time. The mosquitos out there had quite a feast! I consider these my "battle scars" and wanted them immortalized:
That series of battle scars is remarkably similar to what its like at my cottage in May - June.
And regarding main-stream: I would imagine that unless you'd get a gig with a magazine or big company, it would be hard to start off.
Whereas you've already entered the porn world, and have a fairly steady job.

Everyone needs a challenge...your up to the task. Never grow complacent......always look ahead to the future....as far as a “style” goes……make your own style…..be fucking original……that’s what sets people apart from just the plain average to the unbelievably spectacular. You will do fine!

Is that sick? Yes, totally.....disgusting, terrible, shocking, just...just....SHOCKING. How "messy" are we talking here anyway??
Or perhaps another variant of this theme shoot, where a smart gorgeous whore is some High Powered Executive woman, like maybe even a Vice Presidential Candidate or the actual VP herself, who ORDERS either her campaign staffers (all male) or her Secret Service Detail to fuck the shit out of her and leave her a complete mess.
And here's an idea, how about a scene where some gorgeous, world reknowned female Wildlife explorer is bitten nearly to insanity, but saves herself by "accidentally" discovering that splooge makes for a great topical cure for rampant Bug bites. You can fill in the rest of the blanks on this Burglaristic piece of debauchery.

Holly - These look amazing!  I love almost all of them, but I think my fav for content is the one with the spreader attached to the wrists. Also love the one in the alley. I'm looking forward to your pics that are more hardcore but just as well done. And I'm definitely looking forward to a coffee table book of Holly Randall photos.

I totally hear you-- and this is a big concern of mine. Keep in mind that these images are more along the "artsy" line-- for example when they're posted in full galleries for the site, they'll all be in color with no weird filters. I'm thinking of having a separate gallery for my "artsy" pix-- nobody may visit that gallery, but at least it will keep me interested in my work. I will be doing sets that are also more mainstream glam, as well as more natural stuff. And of course, I'll be shooting b/g and all of that. As much as I want to shoot artsy crap, I do recognize that the only way I'm going to make a living at this is to produce jerk off material.
This is my take on it as well -- who would have subscribed to an adult paysite when there was no strokable material inside?
Instead, I bet you could market some of these as adult/fashion/edgy stock photos, and let mags and promoters buy them for that use.

Let's keep in mind this is only one shoot for my site, and it's the very first one. As I've said, there will be a variety of styles, and I'm definitely shooting hardcore. Plus I didn't post up any of the explicit shots, such as this one:
But I appreciate feedback, negative or positive. Though I also take into account that there are all types of audiences, and I don't expect to really appeal to many people here on XPT. Most of you wouldn't join Suze.net either, but we've managed to maintain a pretty successful site for 10 years now. But I think it's important to pay attention to people's reactions when trying to build a new site. After all, I do want to try to do something different, yet still appeal to enough people to be able to support my website.

First things first Holly...you need to make certain you have the $$ to "support" the site as you say, and THEN you can introduce your preference for artsy/glamour porn into the mix...but I think you will agree, common sense dictates you first hit upon the minimum needed to ensure the site's existence, otherwise it is all BUNK/MOOT/dead wood (or No wood lol) So might I suggest, taking something like that LAST picture you posted above as a reference/starting point....it is a very strokeable, EXPLICIT-type shot that your garden variety pervert will want to jerk to, and I mean the typical jerker-offer who is willing to part with the requisite $20-30 monthly fee. Get this type of content and shit online FIRST, and then start mixing in the cool, different shots like the one's with the graffiti and interesting scenery. Here's a suggestion: Take a chick like this one above, and shoot a blow bang in and around this abandoned graffiti-stained Dairy Farm...have her blowing 6 or 7 dudes, in various combo's and poses and settings around the place...culminate with her gobbling the splooge in the area where they used to milk the cows. THEN go back and shoot the artsy shots like you have, and MIX them in on your site for the paying jerker-offers to see and appreciate while they are messing themselves to the shots of her swallowing goo. You need to introduce the paying perverts GRADUALLY to your cool, thoughtful stuff....kinda like a reverse weening process. Me personally, I have always wanted to see your beautiful unique style mixed with a Down-the-Hatch type video anyway. Maybe then I'll join your site  Here's another free Burg marketing tip: YOU, Holly (porn's version of Underdog's sweetheart, P. Polly Purebred) are a HUGE marketing tool in and of yourself. You need, SOMEHOW, to emphasize, remind and otherwise bring to the FORE the fact that YOU, gorgeous/sweet/charming Holly, are the one coming up with and SHOOTING this filth! I am totally serious....it is one thing to see porn today with semi-hot chicks getting banged in all positions and then swallowing load after load....it is another thing ENTIRELY, to meditate and ponder and whack off to Porn that we realize is being orchestrated by YOU...when i see such filthy spectacles, and then further realize that it is YOU behind the camera, and that YOU are actually there shooting the shit....well, that amps up the hottness factor considerably, and therefore, gives YOU and your site and your content an invaluable EDGE. There should be a shot of a shot where YOU, Holly, are visible photographing the action up close...picture a chick on her knees with 3 dudes blasting away into her mouth, and there is P. Polly Purebred (aka HOlly Randall) right behind the girl with her camera, shooting away (with a smile for effect, and maybe even your jeans unbuttoned (nothing showing of course) to "imply" you were diddling yourself to the action at somepoint....ANYTHING to ensure success and give you that EDGE I am talking about.) it is almost as if YOU, Holly, become a vicarious, non performing, NON-porn star PORN star.... Like your signature says Holly...HAVE a few pictures on your website for each shoot of YOU respectfully lubing up the girl's pussy. I AM TOTALLY SERIOUS! That alone will bring in a certain core of membership and viewers each month...EVEN Jeff Steward would be interested in seeing You, Holly/Polly lubing up a chick's pussy.... You may recall Holly, it was I who suggetsed you use that line as your signature a long time ago... Do you follow all of what I am trying to say here??? Gosh, so many people and companies would pay me oodles for advice of this nature and thought ...  THIS will then allow you to get all your serious, thoughtful, impressive "art" into the mix..... I KNOW the jerker-offers here at XPT, guys like Bornyo and Zen and Willie, et al, would definitely agree that seeing PORN where YOU , Holly/Polly are actively involved in as a producer AND where you are actually Seen to various degrees in certain parts of the action, is definitely a marketable entity above and beyond the norm. Dont say I never gave you any decent, thoughtful advice, "Polly".  luv, Da Underdog/UnderBurglar

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not being a hater about this. I am seriously thinking that there may be a real demand for stock photos of punky / glam / edgy erotica anytime a magazine, article, or documentary wants that kind of shot. Eg. same idea as the porn versions of youtube out there -- promoting the type of content that the more conservative existing (stock) sites wouldn't offer.

That's the thing though, that explicit shot I posted is part a the series of the other images with the ball gag in her mouth. I just photoshopped some of them for my own amusement, into black and white and used funky filters. In the online gallery, they will all be in color with no filters. I will have a separate gallery for my photoshopped/artsy photos, which I'm sure nobody will visit. But that's OK.

I hear you-- and I've had this suggested to me before. I'm just terrible at marketing myself, I feel silly doing heavy self-promotion. This is where the insecurity that Random mentioned comes in-- I have a hard time believing that people want to see ME amidst all the gorgeous girls that I shoot. Though I have quite a few hardcore members who love shots of me in action, and they were the ones who bugged me to pose for my site in the first place. So I know the interest is out there, I just get funny about it. Really, I need a publicist to whisper ego-inflating words in my ear so that my head swells enough to get the job done.

I am seriously thinking that there may be a real demand for stock photos of punky / glam / edgy erotica anytime a magazine, article, or documentary wants that kind of shot. Eg. same idea as the porn versions of youtube out there -- promoting the type of content that the more conservative existing (stock) sites wouldn't offer.
You know, this is a pretty good idea-- I just don't know of any of those types of stock agencies. And I know stock photography can be pretty difficult to get into. But it's definitely worth thinking about!

I will have a separate gallery for my photoshopped/artsy photos, which I'm sure nobody will visit. But that's OK.
I'll visit that one too.
