Do you or would you consider shooting porn?
Yes I would, because it would pay decent money. Truth. Sep 10 10 08:55 pm Link Please, do we have to beat dead horses in these strings? BORING! Sep 10 10 08:56 pm Link Hire me, pay me well. Take the photos, do what you want with them. Don't even need to give me credit. Sep 10 10 08:57 pm Link No... there are lots of things in the world that make good money but eat away at one's soul. I'm not saying porn is inherently immoral as, say, drug dealing or money laundering or arms trading, but shooting that ain't why I went to college and it isn't something I want to explain to my kids when they ask what I shot today. Sep 11 10 12:55 am Link Ten years ago my answer would have been NO, today, well, it would depend on the type of shoot, if it paid well, and I felt comfortable enough shooting it. Sep 11 10 01:07 am Link i'd like to shoot some hardcore porn in ss11 couture wardrobe and see who was brave enough to place it. FWIW, I'd not shoot soft / glam type porn or anything dorcel like - shooting it well is worse than shooting beauty and that's pain in the hole (heh pun) enough for me.

Did I say Porn. Well it is what we called it, now not then. We called Playboy in the old buildings of Chicago Porn in some people's minds Porn..

I know a photographer that had a chance to shoot her TFP right before she got into the adult industry, he is still kicking himself for blowing her off. Oct 31 10 06:47 am Link Arrggghhhh!! You've exposed my retirement plan!! Now what am I gonna do with the rest of my life? ;-))) Oct 31 10 06:55 am Link I had a model do some rather interesting things in front of my camera but as I like to say, "some people like to watch, some people like to do". I found the whole experience rather a turn off. Would I do it again? sure, get out your checkbook and smile. Oct 31 10 07:14 am Link I have shot my share of both. At first it was ackward to be that close to the real action but after about 5 mins I acclamated. Damn good money ! OP if you are interested I can definitely get you work. Oct 31 10 08:01 am Link I shot some web content yesterday, just one girl and some toys. She was hilarious, and it was one of the most fun shoots I've had in a while. I shot a few not-so hard photos too, a few of them are up in my port. Oct 31 10 08:19 am Link I would have no problem with shooting porn whatsoever. In fact, as long as it's on the up and up and not something that can get me thrown in jail, I'll shoot whatever you pay me to shoot. Oct 31 10 08:48 am Link If I were in this for the money, I'd go back to shooting weddings, it pays better than shooting porn from what I've heard. Oct 31 10 08:53 am Link Rita Lovely wrote: Some prudish types would consider the fairly limited nude work that I do to be porn. Oct 31 10 09:00 am Link NO! Oct 31 10 11:18 am Link Nope. Oct 31 10 11:23 am Link I enjoy looking at "Art Nudes" when done well, but it is not something I will do myself. I am not really into the idea of porn. I love clothes, SHOES, hats, gloves, jewelry, leggings, purses and anything else fashion... I am a material girl... I admidt it... Fashion is my passion. I love to emote and get into character with the styling I am wearing. It is what makes it exciting for me... Depending on how I am styled I am a new person - POOF! Thus I will continue to do what I personally enjoy until I no longer enjoy it. Oct 31 10 11:28 am Link It's not something I would want to slap my name on. Oct 31 10 11:28 am Link Rita Lovely wrote: NO Rita Lovely wrote: am sure there is an art in making good porn. Oct 31 10 11:49 am Link No, but I would shoot people having sex. Oct 31 10 11:51 am Link Never. I do not want images like that floating around in cyberspace for all to see forever. Oct 31 10 11:59 am Link I would shoot porn if there's no dudes involved. And really I'd just be interested in solo girls. And this is where having the right girl means so much. I think to enjoy doing something like this I'd have to be really attracted to the girl 'cause if I wasn't it would really show and affect the images in a bad way. Wanting to do something for art production and the fun of doing it and wanting to do something just for a paycheck are different things. As I look back on my career and the concerns I had fresh out of college, there's a lot of things I wish I would have done back then that I was afraid to do fearing what others might think. I'm doing a lot of things now I should have been doing back then and as long as it's fun and I make a living doing it- I don't care how people judge me. I'd welcome a change from the usual beauty, glamour, pinup work people come to me for. I have been seriously planning the past two months for splitting off some of my business under a different name and shoot girl solo porn. -Yay! Oct 31 10 12:12 pm Link I would have no issue with softcore if a client wanted it. I have no experience with shooting anything hardcore or have not shot male models in years so I would have to say no. Unless I knew I could produce quality(ish) level work I would not shoot for publication. I would also question anyone who would hire someone without experience. I don't really see it as a moral issue for me, I am not "acting" in it and I really don't judge people by my own standards regarding personal decision like this. Oct 31 10 12:24 pm Link The prestige is in making porn that doesn't look like all the others. Oct 31 10 12:28 pm Link I would DEFINITELY shoot porn. But I wouldn't shoot men and I don't really like vaginas at all. I don't think I'd ever be in a porno, though. I guess because vaginas are ugly, and IDK...Just eh. I've thought about it a LOT and I think I'd enjoy it. But I don't know. I wouldn't ever shoot with another man, either. Ew. Not because I wanna be faithful to just one guy, but I can't have sex with random men. Nasty, in my opinion. The thought of it grosses me out. Oct 31 10 12:42 pm Link Maja Stina wrote: LOL. Amatuer porn all over the Internet with couples. Doesn't have to be an alienating thing. It's just that they all look the same... boring. Oct 31 10 12:45 pm Link Sure ..... do you have contacts ? It's all about "show me the money" Oct 31 10 12:48 pm Link Dino T wrote: I second the above motion. Besides I think I could make it artistic.

If you look at porn objectively, most everything has already been done/depicted on film. Again, the credit goes to the one who does something unique. Just like Deep Throat in 1972?, people have been doing blowjobs for thousands of years, but then comes along this low-budget skin flick funded by the mafia, and bam, now bjs are the way of sex. If I ever made a porno, it would need to be this effective, sans mafia ties of course. Oct 31 10 01:15 pm Link Rita Lovely wrote: I thought about it from time to time. I know a lot of adult models and a few established porn performers and have worked with them on the glamour and artistic level. Oct 31 10 04:03 pm Link I would not enjoy shooting b/g hardcore porn, but if I was very desperate and the money was exceptionally good, I would consider it on a one time basis to get me 'out of the hole'. Oct 31 10 04:06 pm Link Sure, why not. Would be fun. But really, they'd have to pay me a lot. And I'd have to pick a really cool porn name :-) It's not going into my body of work, at all. Oct 31 10 04:07 pm Link Just where do people get the idea that there is good money in shooting porn? Most porn photographers get about $250 a day, and don't own the rights to their images. Many work for less. Yes . . . there are a few that make a living at it, but those are the exceptions. KM Oct 31 10 04:15 pm Link I wouldn't pursue it but if the right opportunity found me I would consider it. If push came to shove I doubt I would though. My big dream is to work in the mainstream Sports/Fitness realm and I think I'd always worry that doing porn might turn off potential clients in the future. Oct 31 10 04:33 pm Link I wouldn't do porn but I would photograph sexuality and sensuous activity I think sex is good and great porn is on it's way out but doesn't really know it yet Oct 31 10 04:49 pm Link |
