Dan + updates




 
 

So, recently I looked into making some changes in where my photos are available. My store subscription for eBay was up for renewal. Now, eBay sales have declined this year, more so than in previous years. I chose to end the subscription and research my options. I also asked for input from buyers, via my email group. The silence was deafening. I've also had a rough year, having to deal with my father's health issues instead of working on business.

What did I find? I researched web-sites, and it looks like a basic site, before I add store functions, would cost me more per month than eBay. Ouch! In the past, it's been difficult to get buyers to follow me to other sites, so I'd be looking at several months of carrying costs on a web-site. No, thank you. I re-upped my eBay store subscription. I won't give up on a web-site, because I get asked about it from time to time. That said, I will likely be moving more stock over to eBid. It costs less for me, and means I will be able to keep my prices where they are at.

For those who have followed me for some time, and for those who are new to my work, I work with a variety of male models, showcasing different looks and builds. I'll be honest - I find men sexy! Period. Regardless of the packaging. Yes, I've worked with muscle men and male model types, but I've also worked with a LOT of regular guys. I think all types of men (and women for that matter) deserve to be showcased as being sexy and erotic. I also work within a model's comfort zone. What that means is that not all my models pose nude. I feel that sexy and erotic do not always depend on how much skin is showing, and sometimes the model who is doing a risque shot that shows things off without showing them can be sexier than if he just revealed it all.

If you like what I do, and wish to support (or continue supporting) my work, there are options. eBay (http://stores.ebay.com/korokstudios) and eBid (https://korok-studios-photography.ebid.net). You can also look for my Sans Shirt series of magazines / Kindle-zines on Amazon. Search for Korok Studios on sites like Red Bubble, Society6, and Zazzle. Those sites also have my artwork as well as photos.

Thank You for taking the time to stick around and read all this, and Thank You for checking out and supporting my work. Have a groovy week!
