I don't know why, but I post really good content and it gets ignored. I have three years worth of candid content but I upload it slowly because most of my updates go ignored and my topic eventually stops showing up at the front. It is extremely hard to be in a place with lots of Japanese exchange students and other attractive Asian females who bare their feet, and I have been developing the skills to shoot close up without getting detected. Japanese and Korean exchange students' feet are rare throughout the web, and candid content is like the holy grail. Lots of Asian women model their feet, but there is a higher degree of risk and reward for seeing a Japanese exchange student's feet candidly. Also in my personal opinion, the girls I've photographerd (All college age) are younger and have more attactive feet than models. its just a shame that most of my stuff gets ignored

Probably because not everyone is a fan of candid shots, since it makes you look sneaky.

Have you seen my material?
Posted by Lordsoysauce (Member # 2193) on :
Gonna agree with Aldebaran. Candid foot photography is a very niche market because it's non-consensual. There are people out there who enjoy it, but I wouldn't say that number is particularly high.

Why wouldn't you just walk up to the woman, compliment her and ask?
Posted by GQguy (Member # 16534) on :
There's tons of content out there. As opposed to going the way of niche...why don't you try and do what the masses want but only better?
I only go for high arched models. Candid videos are pretty boring not to mention the creep factor.
I agree with Spotlight....a "candid" video where the camera guy asks her various questions about herself/feet/fetishes and just picks her brain is far more entertaining than a foot just doing it's foot thing.

@ ANONNUM825
I shoot candid portraits and understand fully the risk of being dubbed a creep if your subject catches you. You shoot foot related stuff so you have it "worst" than many.
Getting attention on Wu's is tough these days. When I share my stuff it also goes unnoticed. The principal reason is I shoot for me. So naturally unless a person shares my taste, I'll be ignored.
A niche shooter will always have it tough, but I enjoy the satisfaction of trying to be a little different from the masses...even if it "fails".
I'll checkout your stuff and give you my opinion.
Keep shootin'! Posted by Rider Aldebaran (Member # 38525) on :

Yeah, and aside from the candid aspect, I wasn't really impressed. No offense.

I've seen your work, I like it. But there is alot of content out there. Do you do because you love it and that is what matters.

I appreciate anybody working the Asian angle! I commented favorably on your last Korean feet post. Keep up the good work! Posted by bluetoelover (Member # 14736) on :
Are you selling the content? If not then do you want an internet cookie or something? I post my wife's feet on here and other boards and I have to bump the shit outta the threads to get comments. Meanwhile a thread gets posted with some not so nice feet(ugly) and it gets like 3 pages right off the bat. I'll never understand it but I don't go creating a thread whining about why nobody likes my free pics?

Im not selling my clips. I already took a risk by filming their feet without them knowing. I'm not going to add insult to injury by exploiting them for financial gain. Just view my recent posts if you want to see some Japanese and other Asian exchange student's feet.

I have done candids. It is great to see different perspectives of common interests. Thanks. Many people do not feel comfortable commenting, though they do enjoy the input.
Posted by NorcalfeetStudios (Member # 732) on :
I think the problem with most candid stuff, it's just good for a quickie fix. Most guys are looking for an actual girl they can identify and know she is into the foot fetish concept and willing to please them with everything she does, not just some random feet under the table. You have to make it more personal if you want to fly with the eagles.
Posted by Talos (Member # 39913) on :
I don't care for candids because I have been so spoiled with taking my own pictures... that aren't candids. Just today my sister was hanging with one of her friends and out of the blue her friend asked me if I thought her feet were sexy, lol. I ended up giving her a foot rub, painting her toes nails and then took some pics! Then to top it off, she asked me if I wanted a booty call, lol! So I'm pretty judgmental and picky when it comes to pics others have taken because their interests are different than mine. Especially candids because you can't get the angles that I like without asking them, then that defeats the purpose of a candid. Some feet on here are downright atrocious no matter what angle. Some feet I would say are bland, but I wouldn't complain if they were in my face. Some feet are really sexy, but don't have the right angle. Most of the time, pics I have taken will get me off a lot better than any of the ones taken by the professionals that run their own websites. I've never had to pay for someone's work.

Good afternoon,
In my previous post I stated I'd give you my personal opinion. Your stuff is just OK with a couple of highlights, but it doesn't standout from the crowd.
This is just an opinion and please feel free to give me yours of my work (see link below my signature).
Take care and keep shooting.
Posted by kingler (Member # 40920) on :
Some of those look great, but Imagebam appears to be broken at the moment so I can't see the full size images.
what I like about candid shots is how "normal" the feet look. I cannot stand overly polished "production" shots, or amateur shots where there is so much oil and grease on the feet that I might as well go massage a Macdonalds burger. Or worst still shots with male genitals in them (as if I want to see another mans junk whilst I'm getting off!).
I've always liked this site for its natural look; http://naturalfoot.skr.jp/ Posted by jinchuu (Member # 7198) on :
Candid or not, as the eternal saying goes, "you can't please everyone".

Ooo okay. So you're wondering why they get ignored HERE???
Dude, please, do NOT us wu as some sort of litmus test as to whether you have an actual audience for your type of foot material or not. I would say wu barely represents 1% of the entirety of people with foot fetishes, even before dividing them up into the various niches (footjobs, candids, smelling, JOI, etc). It not about good or bad but actual numbers, and we're barely a blip on the radar.
Now if you had a clips4sale store, you would see first hand if you have an audience or not. I have a good friend who does candids and he makes money hand over fist. And I can't convince him for the life of me to even make a wu account. Some folks aren't interested in posting on forums. I don't think its personal, it just doesn't interest them. And for the producers who don't, that may also extend to their customer base.
Some days the board doesn't even move. Controversial topics, yeah you'll see posts every hour, but regular posts, pics, sometimes its once a day. That alone should tell you this may not be the best representation of whether your candids are good or not. So please do NOT take it personal if you post a thread with a bunch of candids and you maybe get ONE "hey that's great!" if even that.

There are a lot of folks who aren't okay with that. Foot fetish or not, that's a hard line for a lot of folks.

I've been to that site and downloaded most of those galleries. I think you can only access galleries 501-400 so there is a trick to viewing the rest, though its time consuming. You have to change edit the URL so if you want to look at 50, you change http://naturalfoot.skr.jp/gallery_400.htm into http://naturalfoot.skr.jp/gallery_50.htm Posted by FootLongSub Zero (Member # 19380) on :

I have just updated this one with two videos. I reccomend giving her a lool, especially since I got no replies regarding her. This is the feet of my friend, a Chinese exchange student who mostly speaks Japanese. She's really hot. http://www.wusfeetlinks.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=41;t=031372#000000 Posted by Sinnister (Member # 2394) on :
Not a fan of candids because you cant see any detail in the pics. Not the picture takers fault at all of course but my eyes arent what they use to be.
Posted by dolo. (Member # 37306) on :
I am guilty of looking at your candid material and not posting my appreciation. I really dig Asians and candids, both. Hence you combining both of these elements is awesome. I think candid shooting is the most exciting stuff out there.
I take candids sometimes. They aren't nearly as good as the stuff you feature but I can relate to the thrill. The thing that makes candids unique are that they are 100% natural. This is how everyday feet are. Candids are a window in to a moment in time.
Candids are as perverted as it gets. If you are a 'purist' then it is understandable that candids aren't for you. Yet as long as you do it 'right,' the subject or anyone else isn't supposed to know any difference. Of course this line is subject to becoming blurred depending on the situation. To all my candid shooters, remember to always respect a woman's space. This is possible even though it may seem like an oxymoron.

eh, they aren't really that great for any particular praise. They are borderline or mediocre at best.

Posted by sickvik (Member # 1319) on :
As a fellow candid recorder I will tell you that your work is top notch and I do appreciate what you do! I disagree with the creep label. Just because I film feet that are out in the open doesn't make you or I a creep. Some folks don't like candids and I really don't care what they think about me. With all of the screwed up crap going on in the world I would think that me filming feet would be the least of the world's problems.
Posted by FIASCo (Member # 1899) on :
ANONNUM825, count me among those who don't care for the non-consensual aspect of foot photos being secretly snapped. I'm not trying to change your mind (or anyone else's) about whether or not it is right to (without permission) photograph a young lady and post images of her on a fetish forum. I'm merely responding to your initial post.
