So you think you are a Gothic Slut? Or maybe you just really want to know what our models are like? Well, pull up a chair and we’ll tell you all about it.

The primary thing we look for in the people we shoot is, for want of a better term, star quality. We seek a certain uniqueness of personal style, passion, strength of personality. To appear on Gothic Sluts, of course, we look for female homo sapiens and space aliens with a certain subcultural flair. This does not mean that you have to be 110% Gothic 24/7/365. Gothic is a spice and I know I wouldn’t eat a jar of oregano with no pizza to support it. So, while we are really really really only looking for models who are counterculture-identified, we are not looking for people who have to check some Gothic handbook for all of their thoughts, opinions, and fashion choices. Mistress Persephone goes to rockabilly shows and Verotika loves musicals like “Rent” and Dana Dark collects dolls and Morrigan Hel likes my old metal albums and Mistress Domiana turned us on to Teletubbies and Jade-blue Eclipse flies on the trapeze and Halloween Jen can really shake it to hip hop. They’ve all got that spark and you definitely know it when you see it. These are girls who are the real deal. If that describes you, please send some JPEGs of what you look like and info on what you would like to do on camera to submit@blueblood.net. Sample images will not be published without your specific permission and proof of age. Please also include information in your submission on where you live i.e. what city and country and whether you have any current plans to visit Southern California. If there is someone you would like to pose with, please indicate this and have them submit their pictures and info as well.

No particular body type, ethnicity, or weight is required. If you wear it well and you look cool and you've got it going on, that is all that matters. Set-in-stone requirements are you must be over eighteen and you must sign a model release and you must be able to provide two pieces of identification, which prove you are over eighteen. And neither of those can be a note from your mom.

Forrest Black and I shoot the bulk of the original exclusive content on Gothic Sluts. If we like you and we work well together, then there is a good chance we might like to discuss the possibility of shooting you for other projects we work on as well. For you to appear on Gothic Sluts, you will be at least partially nude for at least part of the shoot. What you are comfortable with will be discussed explicitly beforehand so that there are no surprises and no misunderstandings later. You will never be pressed to do anything you are not completely comfortable with. Your limits will always be respected. A picture is forever and you should only do what you feel 100% about. The photography on Gothic Sluts is beautiful and you will only be selected to model if you will look beautiful on the site. This site is about artistically expressing the eroticism of Gothic sexuality. Please check out the About Us page for more on our philosophy.

A typical shoot will last anywhere from two to five hours. Sometimes it will be in our shooting space which is well-heated and well-air conditioned with a large dressing area where you can change privately. Sometimes we will trek out to a graveyard or other location. We like to have relaxed and fun shooting environments. We may ask you to bring clothes. Sometimes we may have you also model clothing from one of our favorite stores or designers. A lot of how it goes depends on you and what you want.

If you are a store or designer interested in having your clothing appear in our shoots, please e-mail submit@blueblood.net with information on the sorts of forward fashion you offer and where you are located. In addition to placement and mention in a Gothic Sluts layout, Forrest Black and I have also done fashion photography features for Blue Blood, Gothic Beauty, Tattoo Savage, Marquis, Skin Two, and many others.

If you are a photographer who would like to contribute to Gothic Sluts, please e-mail samples of the work you are interested in licensing to us to info@gothicsluts.com. Sample images will of course not be published without your specific permission.

Thanks for checking us out.
