Do you or would you consider shooting porn?
Why or why not? The money is good. What would keep you from shooting porn, softcore or hardcore? Does it go against your morals? Would it take too much of your artistic expression out of photography? Family reasons? Already successful in commerical or fashion? Nov 20 08 12:03 am Link I never have or have wanted to except as a joke idea with my ex boyfriend in London in the 90's but never say never that's the truth Nov 20 08 12:07 am Link Rita Lovely wrote: only if I'm "modeling' Nov 20 08 12:07 am Link I backshot for a friend of mine, she has a video production company . . . turned out to be VERY strange, I only lasted half a day . . .  Great locations, stunning looking "actors", and I'm certainly no prude, just was surreal . . . SOS Nov 20 08 12:13 am Link Shooting-why not Performing-give me a mask, cover my tattoos and call me Mandingo!! Nov 20 08 12:13 am Link Nah, I'm simply not interested. I wouldn't get anything redeeming out of it besides the cash, my wife would be extremely against it, I wouldn't be able to show my family, etc. But all external reasons aside I just don't want to. It does nothing for me as an artist. I'm involved in other forms of adult entertainment like shooting promos for strip clubs, plus a lot of my modeling clientele are strippers, etc., but porn is a different story and it wouldn't help my career.

As for photography and porn, I'm always up for a challenge. Nobody has asked me yet, but I think it would be a giggle to shoot something like that. Would I feel artistically compromised? Well, that would be the challenge, to make it look unique in some way. I'd rather shoot porn than a girl standing on some train tracks wrapped in caution tape.. to me, that's gross.. :-P Nov 20 08 12:20 am Link I did for a year or so while in Atlanta several years ago. I would do it again if I needed the money, meaning I shot box covers and was a videographer. I never performed  I wanted to, but I am, shall we say, not well endowed Nov 20 08 12:25 am Link only if I'm "modeling' me too :-D Nov 20 08 12:30 am Link I shoot for some small town girls with adult web sites and the concepts often cross back and forth between soft-core porn and full nudity. I was a little uncomfortable the first time or two because it was a long-time friend who was posing and she asked me because she trusted me. But after the first hour it became easier. After the 3rd shoot, it was second nature. One thing I can say - there is good money in it. I make more money from these couple of girls shooting pictures for their adult web sites than other types of modeling shots (which always seem to be TF**). Getting the wife to trust me took a little time but I always ask her to go with me, and she never does.

Nov 20 08 12:54 am Link I don't really have any type of moral obligations that would prevent me from doing so, so if the opportunity came up.....I'd definitely do it. It's a paycheck afterall, even if I hated it I would still do it if the money were good. Afterall, my job sucks monkey nuts and I still have to go there everyday and I don't get to use a camera nor do I make decent money. Nov 20 08 12:54 am Link I'd shoot porn.. or at least try it and then decide whether it's something I feel comfortable of doing or not. Nov 20 08 12:57 am Link i try not to talk about , shoot , the obvious so , porn is out of the question , at least what the porn industry call porn and the surrounding , ewww and good money , pfff a joke ? tb Nov 20 08 12:59 am Link Id do it  , Only if Jayden James was the actress and i got to bang her. LOL JK  If there was money involved yes. A buddy of mine showed me a video were the camera man gets accidently shot in the face with jizm, while trying to get "the shot" !! LOL! Too funny! Nov 20 08 01:04 am Link There's jizz flying in the lens of the videographer, I'm assuming it gets on the photographer as well and that's just a bit too much for me. I don't have moral objections to it though, so I'd shoot it in a hazmat suit of some sort. Nov 20 08 01:04 am Link It depends on who the model is and whether the shoot has anything interesting or creative to offer. Nov 20 08 01:05 am Link Only if I got paid a LOT of money to shoot it. (since I couldn't use the photos anywhere they certainly wouldn't do anything for my portfolio) I'd need one of those nifty stage names too! Nov 20 08 01:08 am Link When you shoot male models the lines are often pretty blurred. Often tasteful nudes are still used as jerk off material by your average gay male. I'm not so sure that it makes it porn.... but it's still being used as porn. But lets face it, men will jerk off to just about anything. In summary, yes I'd shoot porn.... and I also think many of you straight guys are already shooting it... you just call it 'Glamour Photography'. Nov 20 08 01:09 am Link I have nothing against it, just never been approached to shoot it, nor have I approached anyone with the idea. Leaving in a small town would make finding talent difficult, plus with the plethora of free porn on the internet, I'm not sure it would be much of a money maker. Also there is still a stereotype attached to folks that work in the adult industry, wrongfully so, but it's still there.

And a couple of my male models have been in Sean Cody movies so I have worked with people in the industry. I'm not opposed to it though cause you make good money. Nov 20 08 01:31 am Link To Danger Ninja, More than one word reply's tend to help in internet correspondence. Although your photography is mature, your reply's are not. What I was saying is, one persons high art, is another persons pornography. If any moderately conservative christians saw you work, they would brand some of it porn. I would disagree. I believe it is very good photography with an incredible amount of imagination and truly artistic in it's own way. Please sit and digest this before you reply. Nov 20 08 01:39 am Link I did a Penthouse style shoot once for someone, but you'll never see it posted anywhere (at least not by me and the agreement was to keep my name off it). Seemed weird to have a camera in certain places taking pictures of certain things from various angles. Playboy-style, no problem, I do those whenever the model asks for it (believe it or not, I don't offer to shoot it, it has to be requested), and I don't post much of that stuff in my port, I like to keep it at least at a PG-13 rating (out of 100 pics, I think only 5 are nude in anyway!)... I like the challenge of taking something that my friends/family would consider completely raunchy and making it glamorous with lighting, angles, poses and whatnot to just make it look sensual without being too risque, even if my photography name suggests otherwise... ;-) Nov 20 08 01:39 am Link i'm way to shy for that stuff.. no thanks!
