On
the eve of launching Toxic Goddess as a pay site,
I want to share with everyone what makes Toxic
Goddess different than all the rest. I’m
certain that on the surface we will be compared
with everything from Playboy to anything that
has followed, particularly if it’s an alternative
modeling site. That’s fine, because the
work speaks for itself, and if you just want to
see photos of nude beautiful women, we certainly
have that. But if you drill down a little deeper
you’ll discover that there’s much
more to this site.
Robert
Henry
First
off, Toxic Goddess has two photographers that
have chosen to pursue this, rather than concentrate
solely on fine art endeavors or a lucrative commercial
photography career. Robert Henry graduated from
the prestigious Savannah School of Art and Design.
He had offers to assist high profile photographers
as far away as London. He’s an award-winning
fine art photographer. He could be anywhere right
now, but he’s here working on this instead.
Dirk
Hooper
I’m
a world renowned fetish and fantasy photographer,
who has displayed work in fine art museums and
in numerous underground art venues. I have work
in the permanent collection of the Kinsey Institute.
I’ve been published in CDs, comics and slick
fetish magazines. My own personal site ranks in
Google’s top five for Goth models and gets
over one million hits a month. I can’t tell
you how many times I’ve been contacted to
do exclusive work for someone else’s company.
I could do anything I want right now, but Toxic
Goddess is where my heart is.
Jennifer
Marks
We
are joined by Jennifer Marks, an outrageously
talented makeup artist whose creativity is only
matched by her brilliance. She is the cohesive
element in our triumvirate, bringing her management
skills and her perspective to complete our team.
The
Staff
Why
are we different? You just met the whole staff.
If it’s on Toxic Goddess, one or all of
us had our hand in it. While we may cultivate
more help in the future, you can rest assured
that we will keep the highest standards possible,
because frankly, this is our baby, and we want
it done right. We are artists. You won’t
find a bunch of part-time wedding photographers
or boyfriends with cheap digital cameras doing
work on here.
The
Goddesses
The
Toxic Goddesses themselves are different as well.
These are not girls, or chicks, or honeys…
they are Goddesses in every sense of the word.
These models were picked not just because of their
looks, but because of their creativity, their
intelligence and their style. These models are
part of the creative process and they bring something
extra to every shoot we do. If you’re looking
for endless vacuous teenagers with tattoos and
angst, there are plenty of other sites for that.
The Toxic Goddesses are real women, with attitude,
and while that might scare some people, we take
pride in that.
The
Dream
We
do something else that is rare, if not unheard
of in this business. We cut the models in on the
profits. That means that they have a stake in
how we do. It’s a simple concept, borne
of a simple philosophy; everyone on the team deserves
to share in our success. If we all do well, we’ll
work harder to please our fans. Everyone wins.
So,
what makes us different? Everything makes us different.
We have a staff of serious artists who love their
work. Our models are beautiful women, with style
and class, and a hand in our success. The work
we produce is unique and exceptional. We’re
very proud of what we offer. This is something
we believe in and we invite you to share in our
dream.
