I think you will find most SP will want to retain the I P and have control over their images. They can then edit ie remove tattoos, blur the face and crop as required.
I've photographed a few as a favour and they retain possession of the memory cards.

I guess it us a trust thing.
I did photo shoots with a number of escorts back 6 yrs ago. And a few for am agency. A few of the girls I saw regularly and they used some of the photos on their adds.
I kept the originals and made them a full copy of all pictures plus print up some of the better one for them ..
I ALL WAYS WAS PROFESIONAL AND NEVER WOULD SHARE OR POST THEIR PHOTOS WITH OUT WRITE PERMISSION.
I don't know of any girls now that are open to photo shoots .
It the one thing I miss most.

Trust me, some of the SP's have invested a lot of $ getting professional photo shoots for their ads, websites and other social media.
There are some extremely talented photographers doing boudoire photo shoots in Vancouver. Typical clientele would be the SO who wants give their SO a very personal gift.
Of course they also have some incredibly attractive models to work with who happen to be escorts.
You have to realize their image is attached to their brand that they have put a lot of effort creating for their business. It's an asset that they like to have control of and not have it in someone else's hands.
I don't want to speak for all the ladies here; some might even be open to it??
I just think posting an ad for a paid Gig on CL will be simpler to accomplish.

This is very nice of you and a great idea!
I strongly encourage girls to NEVER EVER let a random gwc be in possession of the un-blurred/un-cropped copies of your advertising pics.
Every week, I get random guys sending me emails telling me they are photographers. I occasionally ask for examples, and like clockwork, the quality is poor. Poor lighting, staging, even focus. I'm always amazed when they send me examples showing the faces of the women. I really doubt these women would agree to have their pictures shared around like this.
I believe your intention is to mean well, but it really does come off as being a GWC.
Everyone must begin somewhere as an amateur, so may I suggest creating a profile on model mayhem and searching for models in your area to reach out to. Also, try the approach of not shooting erotic, nudes and implied nude until you have a strong enough portfolio. I cannot think of many models who would agree to shoot those genres with an amateur photog. It just sounds creepy!

I agree, A person that is learning to use a camera can practice with flowers and still life and then move to animals. If you can do photographs that make a person say "that's nice" with proper placement and lighting - maybe you'll find a lady that will let you photograph her. When I photographed a lady that I had been seeing often, the memory card stayed with her. She actually used a couple of the pictures in her ads. If the memory card moves out of her possession, she has no control on what's posted or shared on the Internet.
I enjoy being photographed and I know how to pose; I have worked as an artists' figure drawing model in the past. I've done sessions that began with an erotic photography session: always either with MY camera & memory card or with the images deleted off the memory card after I have saved them. I don't do unpaid modeling work, and I retain control of all the images.
It true that once you let some one else have photos of you
You may loss control of what they do with them
And in the past we have talked about who has the rights to the photos..The photographer or the model.
WITH OUT A SIGNED RELEASE THE PHOTOGRAPHER CAN NOT PUBLISH OR PUT THE PHOTOS ON ANY SHARED OR PUBLIC WEB SITE.
If some one does share the photos with out consent then they can be sued and the model car seek damage accordingly.
It does come down to having some prior contact with the escort and understanding and trust about how the photos will be used
As I said in the past the ladies that I photographed did have numerous pictures on line and add some of mine to there Web sites..
Yes any thing you put on the Web stays on the Web . And many if these girls pictures can still be found yrs after they left the business.
Some girls appeared in documentaries. . And porn movies..and it still out there.
So if you do have picture take.. know the person and know that they can be trusted yrs later..I know that a hard one to answer..but there were many guys that never broke thst trust.
.
As for Quality of photos..if you have the eye and a desent camera and a girl that loves to be photographed .you can make some amazing photos.

You hire models from Model Mayhem, create your own profile there, then get your portfolio to a point where the models solicit you.
Not necessarily mikehawksbig. It is a good website for inspiration and networking within the industry. Compensation or lack thereof should be discussed from the beginning with your intention to contact a model, photographer, MUA, editor etc....
Up to date profiles should let those viewing see how they expect compensation as well if they shoot nudes or not.
There are many models who agree to shoot TFP(trade for print, time for print, test for print) with reputable peers. I think the OP should expect to pay the model her asking rate seeing as he is an amateur.
