Born and raised in a small town near Nashville, Tennessee, Southern belle Anna Claire Clouds grew up surrounded by nature. She spent most of her time enjoying the rippling waters of the lake, exploring the greenery of the woods and living that country life.
Soon after attending college in Tennessee, she headed west, modeling and go-go dancing in Colorado and Las Vegas before finally ending up in Los Angeles, where she decided to pursue a career in adult entertainment full-time.
I was doing a lot of modeling and country music videos in my early 20s, so I was very comfortable in front of the camera.
“I was doing a lot of modeling and country music videos in my early 20s, so I was very comfortable in front of the camera,” she recalls. “After starting a premium Snapchat and realizing how fun and freeing adult content creation could be, I decided to join the industry.”
After researching agencies for about a year, she contacted OC Modeling, signed on the dotted line and got the ball rolling with steady studio work. She considers getting on the OC roster to be her first big accomplishment, and one that has definitely paid off.
“I’ve been shooting several scenes a month every month since the moment I started, and I don’t plan to slow down anytime soon,” she shares.
Now, with four years and around 300 scenes under her belt, Clouds has racked up a diverse array of achievements and accolades.
“I am so proud of where I’ve gotten in my career!” she enthuses. “I’ve been a girl of the month for several sites — including Playboy, which has always been a huge goal of mine. I’ve had the opportunity to work on several award-winning projects alongside some of the top talent in the industry.”
She also underscores that the industry has allowed her to explore herself sexually in an open and accepting environment.
“I’ve truly experienced every part of life I’ve desired so far, and built an incredible career for myself along the way,” Clouds says. “I feel so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been granted, every step of the journey.”
Among those opportunities have been recent chances to flex her acting chops and embody dynamic characters, which she says she has enjoyed every minute of. Indeed, the year 2023 has been very busy for Clouds, bringing a number of firsts and some of her biggest shoots yet.
“This year, I shot my first anal for Tushy and several more after that for some other amazing top companies, including my first anal VR for VR Bangers,” Clouds notes. “With tips from friends who also happen to be the industry’s top anal queens, like Alexis Tae and Jane Wilde, I know exactly what I’m doing and feel confident in every scene!
“I also was lucky enough to be a part of the Angela White showcase for Brazzers this year,” she adds. “Working alongside Angela is exactly what you think it would be: as orgasmic as it is inspiring. Her dedication to her brand and ability to drive an effortlessly flawless scene was amazing to be a part of.”
Reflecting on her career thus far, Clouds says she has evolved professionally and personally in several ways, including developing a strong work ethic.
“Usually I’m up at 6 a.m., working out before getting ready for the day,” she explains. “Then around 9 a.m., I’ll drive to a shoot location, usually in the middle of downtown LA, and jump into hair and makeup while I catch up with my male talent, before shooting hardcore boy/girl scenes with tons of dialogue. Then, when all is said and done, I go home and work on content for my own sites until it’s time for bed — and then I start all over again in the morning!”
And that’s what she considers an easy day.
Fortunately, Clouds says, adult content creation has given her a greater understanding of not only her body, but her mind as well, and the industry’s flexible environment allows her to prioritize her mental and physical health, make adjustments and maintain balance.
Part of that balancing act involves keeping her social media pages going strong. Her strategy?
“Just post about my day and allow that to speak for itself,” she reveals. “That’s it! Things I do in my normal, everyday life may seem mundane to me but are intriguing to other people. For me, it’s normal to ride a dick while chatting with the director about the next shot, or fuck myself while the crew is taking lunch. I know it’s normal to have an online personality or persona, but even when I am just posting my horny thoughts on Twitter, they’re still authentic and real parts of my life.”
She leverages those promotional efforts to drive fans to AnnaClaireClouds.tv and other indie platforms on which she sells content. She also does live shows on her OnlyFans, telling stories about her week before making herself orgasm and doing a squirt show.
“I create content on and off set and try to stay as authentic and real as possible,” she emphasizes. “This gives my fans access to me they can’t find anywhere else — and with my busy life, that is truly the most priceless thing I could monetize. I also like writing and directing larger projects for my sites, like the “4 vs. 1” scene I wrote and directed this year with Johnny Sins. It felt amazing creating something with my friends, who also happen to be incredibly talented and driven people.”
Throughout her journey, Clouds says, OC Modeling has been her “rock,” advocating for her skills and talents and providing support for which she remains intensely grateful. She views the agency as her family.
“They have been in my corner for every step of my journey, and I attribute a huge part of my success to them,” she says. “I remember my first time taking an agency photo. Another performer told me what the photographer said after I left: ‘Such a beautiful girl, too bad she has all those tattoos. She’ll never get booked.’ But OC Modeling said, ‘Well, if they don’t want to shoot you now, eventually they won’t have a choice because you’ll be so great!’”
“And that’s exactly what happened,” she adds. “They helped me create a name for myself within the industry, making sure directors know I come with a sense of professionalism, easy communication — and of course, that I’m a slutty girl ready to fuck on camera every time you book me.”
Of course, it’s not all work for Clouds. When she can, she likes to spend the day with her pets, exploring nature or going out with friends. She has four animals living with her for a taste of nature at home, and feels lucky to live in California, where she can travel a few hours to find any type of outdoor experience she desires.
As for her future goals, Clouds plans on breaking out a few more firsts — things she hasn’t yet done but has been training for all year long.
“I don’t want to give anything away, but I can give you a hint,” she teases. “Since long before porn, I have always had a fantasy of being fully used by multiple people at once, with an audience watching the full experience. So it’s got something to do with that!
“I also plan to write and direct more scenes for my own sites,” she adds. “But also hopefully for a few companies that will allow me to really bring my ideas to life.
“Eventually, I’d like to do a showcase to display all the skills I’ve learned over the years and give my fans a movie they can always go back to when they want to experience my sexual escapades,” Clouds concludes. “My ultimate plan is to continue to create porn so hot that my fans enjoy it just as much as I do.”
