Sure! I generally start with imgops and tineye, ideally I’ll find a forum post (I often find that vipergirls is an orgin point for a bunch of internet porn) or other site that has the model and set name and all I have to do is verify it. In this case there’s a vipergirls post that has more from the set, but and no name. Not ideal, but still useful because it it’ll has more pictures of that same model that I can use to keep digging until I find more info. (It didn’t happen for this photo, but occasionally I’ll find links to reddit image rehosting sites, that’s usually a sign to hit up karmadecay to see if the source is in the title/ comments.) I try to get as much info out of a single photo as I can before moving on to another in the set, so it’s off to Google’s reverse image search. Same sort of deal as tineye, I mostly skim for anything that looks like a name (I’ll admit the publisher, Viv Thomas, threw me for a loop a good bit) or semi- reliable/ reputable site (sometimes I’ll get lucky and dig up a reddit thread). Failing that, I’ll go though the links looking for tags, comments of more of the set (note: an ad blocker is a really good idea). I’m not quite sure if it was there when I did my original research, but the second Google image result is “KATHY MOORE VIV THOMAS KATHY MOORE - R18hub”; never heard of it, but the picture matches, you mentioned Viv Thomas in your post, might as well check it out and confirm that I didn’t stumble across someone’s profile name. With a potential name and a publisher it’s usually just a matter of running a duckduckgo search with the two to see what comes up.

Initially I couldn’t quite tell if it was the same model, so I’m pretty sure I ended up going back to the set jumping though two or three of the other images, which is how I kept pulling up different aliases. Eventually I stumbled across the babepedia link and everything clicked.

Once I was sure of the name, I went back to the Viv Thomas site and started poking though the previews looking for anything that share elements with the set(s) I found earlier. Stuff like outfits and backgrounds tend to the the easiest, but poses and lighting can also work. For this set, I mostly focused on the brick work. I got a few flase positives on the first page of previews, but the second page had an image of the model on her back laying with a pillow, brick, and grass that look like dead ringers of the the rest of the set.

Hope that helps! It’s pretty manual, with a fair bit of brute force, but I enjoy the process and I get pretty good results.
