Great lighting is fundamental for any cam model. You want that dewy look that makes your skin shine, looking delicious as ever? Then you need fantastic lighting. What’s more, you also need to set it up properly and make it work to your ad- vantage. Why is lighting important? Light is not only important in terms of final quality on video chat sites, it has a well-defined role in reducing the load on the webcam. If there is not enough light or well placed, the webcam will try to compensate for the software (to add light, contrast, etc.) which can lead to a decrease in the number of frames per second it can transmit. A low num- ber of fps (frames per second) can af- fect your activity, the quality of video streaming, the position in the pages of the sites you work on and so on. You want lighting that will make you pop. Furthermore, you need something that will trap the attention of your au- dience and have them yearning for more. To achieve that, everything has to be visible. Every curve, dip, and peak of your body has to be detectable. If you’re worried that too much lighting will make your flaws stand out, don’t be. Proper lighting will always work in your favor. There are both budget options, which do not cost much and options that are closer to the professional environment and which include umbrella lights, softboxes,etc. Three-point lighting setup Three-point lighting will illuminate you and your cam room in just the right way. This is a traditional setup. Most models use it, for one simple reason: it works! It eliminates all shadows, and it’s both effective and subtle. Having only one light source will cause a lot of shadows, especially if you choose only to have backlighting. That will leave your body looking like a simple silhou- ette, and you won’t be able to show off your assets. On the other hand, having just one harsh front lighting source is also the wrong way to go about light- ing. You need multiple light sources. Main light Some models use their overhead light as the primary light source. This is the key light, and it’s supposed to be the strongest. It should illuminate the entire cam girl’s room. Although an overhead light can work, a traditional three-point setup usually has the pri- mary light behind the camera, diago- nally from the model. The intensity of the main light should be the strongest out of all three light sources. You can use LED bulbs or go for the 300-watt equivalent fluorescent studio-quality bulbs. The main light is vital because, as it shines down on you, it will create a lighting base. However, it can’t work magic all on its own. Support light Fill light should also be placed behind the camera and slightly elevated. Both the main and the support light should shine on you at a 45-degree angle. Support light is usually the one with the accompanying equipment. You can mount umbrellas, reflectors, or a softbox to it. Why is support light so im- portant? The main light is quite power- ful, and it comes from a single source. That means that it will cast shadows. The support light will soften those shadows or remove them altogeth- er. Fill light needs to be dimmer and softer than the main light. So, don’t go overboard with the super-strong light bulbs. Backlight The final piece of the three-point light- ing setup is the backlight. It helps cam models look more defined and sharp, and it also enhances exposure. The backlight can be a standard lamp you already have at home, as it isn’t sup- posed to be bright and harsh anyway. IT & TECH AUTHOR BCAMS74September 2021 BCAMS MAGAZINE CAM MODEL PROTECT Protect your privacy, videos, camshows and much more Once you become an established cam model and have more people viewing your content, you’ll inevitably come across your content on sites that you do not want it distrib- uted on. This could include tube sites, clip sites, forums etc. Contacting the webmaster yourself can sometimes work to get your content removed, but not always, and it can be time consuming. There are sites that can do all the work for you, in exchange for a fee level plan. One of the best and most popular sites removing copyright- ed content in the adult industry is Cam Model Protection. They specifically focus on cam models. They have different packages to choose from, based on the services you would like to get from them. Not only can their service help while you’re currently in the industry, but it’s great also for retired cam models as well as to prevent family members, coworkers, and friends from finding out what you used to do. If you are unsure about Cam Model Protection, they offer a free trial membership. You will have full access to all of their features so you can test them out and see if it’s right for you. You can even have your fans donate towards your monthly fee.

Then look no further! Myonly.chat is a premium Telegram service that helps content creators or businesses sell access to their Tele- gram channels. It’s a subscription and tip-based, adult-friendly and safe to promote on any social media. Overall, a service that empowers content cre- ators. We had the pleasure to meet Andra Chirnogeanu, myonly.chat CEO, who gave us more details and insights of their recently launched app. How did you come up with the idea to create myonly.chat? I’ve worked in the adult industry for the last 6 years and all these years I´ve encouraged performers to take con- trol of their content and their social media. When myonly.chat started, the idea behind it was ¨let´s do some- thing that doesn’t put us in competi- tion with anyone but can help every- one make more money¨. We´re not a platform, we´re providing a service, a way to make MORE money from your content, to bring more traffic to your platform, to promote it safely. I want everyone to win and it saddens me to see that in an industry so small, people are so divided. What is the difference between myonly.chat and other similar ser- vices? As mentioned before, myonly.chat doesn´t store content. The content is diverse, from text messages to audio, photo and video. 100% payout, the 24/7 support from our account managers, and the fact that this is not ANOTH- ER platform, but a service where you can monetize the content you already have. There’s also the fact that Tele- gram is an app that’s safe to promote on social media, it’s available for both Mac and PC, and most devices run- ning Mac or Android. An added benefit is push notifica- tions, which, unlike browser notifica- tions where fans have to opt-in, Tele- gram has native push right to your fan’s mobile device or laptop. And if creators needed more reasons to use the myonly.chat service, there’s also the fact that they can stream exclusive shows to their fans. What are the goals of My Only Chat? We´re looking at perfecting the ser- vice, making it easy to use for everyone that wants to join. The goal has always been to make people monetize what they’re good at. There is no one like you out there, and that’s something to cel- ebrate and get money from. Nothing in this world is for free, why would your content be? Where do you see myonly.chat in 2 years? Hopefully fully adopted on every site that provides services, offer them our API and white label to use as a new rev- enue stream for their users and mod- els. Do you think that being a female CEO brings along more benefits, or more disadvantages? I´ve never been a male CEO, so I wouldn´t know the difference. Timo- thy Leary said ¨Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.¨ In all seriousness, I believe any executive po- sition comes with challenges and it´s a matter of personality, rather than sex how one deals with those challenges. I don’t compare myself to anyone, as no one is me, or goes through what I went through, or had my background, struggles, privileges etc. I guess we all owe it to ourselves to have a purpose in life and to use what we have to leave a legacy, create something. I´ll be foolish not to use all that I have, as a man would use physical power in certain situations, let’s say, I’d use my wits or smile. That just proves you know how to work and take advantage of your differences rather than seeing them as a disadvantage. How many content creators do you currently have signed in? At the moment we’re doing this inter- view, at the end of August, the number of creators using our service is 103. Was it difficult to redirect people’s attention to a new platform? For sure it takes time, and myonly.chat has just started a few months ago. People were very curious and want- ed to try it, to see how it works. We´re changing, adapting, improving every week, seeing what works and what doesn´t, while keeping our princi- ples about what the creators should get from it. We don’t want to redirect them as in choosing a unique platform to be on; we encourage creators to sell their content and have their ¨eggs¨ in as many baskets as possible. How hard is it to start your business in these uncertain times? Starting a business is easy, everyone can do it. Keeping a business going and making it successful (this is differ- ent for everyone) is the tricky part. You have to be patient, passionate, and not too proud to ask for help. We make mistakes when we think we know everything. Tell us a few words about MyOnly. Chat’s CEO. I get up every morning and I take a few moments to pray. I´m not a religious person by any means. Praying is my time of giving thanks to being awake and healthy, able to do what I love, have people that I love in my life, and being overall happy. This is not some- thing that people know about me and I believe it’s the first time I’m talking about it in an interview. My career in the adult industry started 6 years ago because I was stubborn to get into something I knew nothing about and learn about it. The reason why I accepted the MOC offer was that it was a challenge to learn more about something I didn’t know. This is myon- ly.chat´s CEO in a few words: grateful, curious and ambitious.
