My wife and I do nude art photography on the side when time allows, and have a heavy focus on customers with self-esteem issues — both men and women.
We follow the "pay what you want" way of thinking, where the customer chooses how much they pay for the photoshoot — which includes zero, of course —, but also decide how much of the profit we will donate to the Laço Rosa Foundation, a non-profit organization from Brazil that helps women fight breast cancer.
If they tell us to keep all the money — happens from time to time —, we usually donate 15% of the profit anyway. Both of us lost essential figures in our lives to breast cancer, hence why we had the idea when we started doing these photoshoots.
We recently decided that the WordPress hosting company we are building will also donate a portion of our monthly profits to non-profits that are tackling data collection and other privacy issues. A part of that will probably go to open source projects we use and benefit from, like Fathom and Debian — I mean, it is only fair.
We haven't decided which of them will get the donations or how much of the profits we will give out, but are open to suggestions if anyone has any :)
