What countries do girlie pics?

I reckon you'd get a warm welcome doing a girlie shoot in the Middle East in a mosque. Obviously the less clothing the girlie wears the better. Having a bottle of some type of alcoholic drink as a prop somewhere in the photo would be good too, as would a copy of the Bible.

People object to the term girlie pic? This site is absolutely full of them, you just have to look at the photo feed. Are you meant to say "artistic studies of the young female"?

When I read the OP, I wondered why there was an interest in young girls. Took me a while to figure out what the context was.

Japan and South Korea. Though the Japanese really do like girlies.

Don't forget the tentacles

It's a sign of how times have changed. Before Page 3, a photographer who took photographs of young ladies in their lingerie or less would be referred to as one who takes girlie pics, nudge,nudge, wink, wink, say no more...

 

That was more than half a century ago. 

I'm a dinosaur, but even I've moved on from those days! 

18+ ladies. I know you can't really sell nudes in eBay UK by law apparently but there is a market on eBay US. If you IP address says you are not an American computer you are blocked for trying to sell into the USA on eBay in Artist Self Representing > Nude

Since Page 3 died I don't know what UK law is doing.

This confuses me because the order of zones is US mag, UK mag, & euro mag thus the UK must be more tolerant.

With regard to countries unless you speak the lingo can you work in the market? I was in Iceland last week and I found tons of magazines I wasn't aware existed but as a contributing person how do you break in?

Iceland sell magazines now? They've branched out a bit then from frozen and chilled foods.

Language matters.

Calling women "girls" is patronising and undermining, especially in the work place.

A girl is someone who is not an adult, not a grown up, is not someone who takes responsibility for herself.

Might come across as sensitive (but being a woman myself) I wouldn't refer to any male I worked with as "boy" or address him "hey boy".

You won't see that in any other industry or when walking into a restaurant, office etc. I'd never be addressed as "girl".

Getting back to the OP.. There's obviously a modelling industry in South America, Chile, Argentina, etc etc. Also Japan, China etc etc. You need to go look for it, or go there and see for yourself (y)

whilst I think this particular subject line was intentionally written to get a bite.. I do find, especially in a sporting context, the voiced affront to the terms: 'girls' & 'boys' when referring to female & male competitors, all usually adults.. to just be PC & hyped outrage ( they may genuinely feel outraged, that is up to them )

In sport - it is a term used by competitors & media - without malice though definitely with genuine camaraderie & support for those it is mentioned by & about...

Google a few video interviews of, especially team sports, & the interviews frequently refer to competitors as boys & girls.....

So, is anyone apart from USDUDEINUK actually trying to help the  OP with his question ?

He might be looking to sell his work in other markets,
and all he's got is a series of  'upset people' or people warning him of upsetting people who object to the term 'girl' or 'girlie'

Even some people with portfolios laden with non PC imagery are wading in here.

With respect, come on guys and gals, try to help the feller. 

In response to the OP.

I think that if you have a particular interest in, say, Latina / Latino models,
the whole of South America might be a market place for your work.

Google is probably your friend in this case - try accessing 'foreign' google search engines

( by foreign, I mean, for example  GOOGLE.DE  for Germany)

Unless of course, somebody who is a professionally offended person, gets offended by the word 'foreign'

So - if you have a target country - find the search engine variant that they use, and go from there.

Those male and female competitors can call each other what they like if it builds team spirit and it's OK with everyone. And if interviewers are in the loop on that (through knowing their subjects) then, OK, with care. 

The old dinosaurs like John Inverdale, though, should be more careful, because they risk tangling up knowing use of these words with their ordinary clumsy sexism.

I don't know why this is that difficult. Use words with care.

I did for a time sell glamour pix and it took off with speed and was highly profitable. I suggest that any idiot can sell naked pix of woman. The trouble I found rapidly was two fold. How easy it was to get full porn free from the Net and how rapidly the guys would be asking that I coherse the PP models into full porn shoots.  Knowing how easy that would be I stopped. I wanna be a photographer, not a pornographer.
