o.k..this guy thats in the porn industry saw my work and would love for me to try to take pics for his industry. I asked" take pics of people having sex?" he goes "yeah" and he tells me all about it, and if i try and i like they will pay very well( which i soo believe, cause c'mon..its a sex industry), and on top of that i'll get to travel for free ( they'd pay for my expenses).

CAN YOU IMAGINE TAKING PICS OF PEOPLE MOANING, OR A CHIC TAKING IT IN THE BUTT? LOL

I told him, i'll try it, but if i get disrespected or totally disgusted...IM OUT!! I mean dont get me wrong i like watching porn, but being there on the scene?!?! but hey..i'll try it. It may not be bad as i think it is. And whats funny about it is..my boyfriend works at the porn store and he sells this guy porn dvd. lol.

Has any photographer done this before?
If so how was it? and why did you get out of it?

Whats the good and the bad about it?

I think we have a winner for Post Of The Year, 2008!  I can't see this being topped!

P.S.  Do it!

Interesting. You can always apply a moniker and not use your real name.

I've photographed for it before. And done video. (not in it, just behind the camera!)

It's really not that bad if it's not something that bothers you.

The pay really was pretty good, since it was privately funded.

The people you meet are totally interesting.

And it's typically pretty fun. Again, as long as you're not bothered by such a thing. I don't know how much footage we fucked up with bloopers of someone falling off of a bed or just cracking up laughing, but I can tell you that it was alot.

Directing is what gets funny.

It's awkward at first, but after awhile you get used to saying things like "Hey, you done fucked her off the bed, her head is almost on the floor. Pull her back up."

I have to admit that I have worked as a Webmaster & photographer for a couple of women in the Porn industry.  It was no big deal, just a different subject matter.

Its a girl, not the on-screen partner, that sucks a dude to erection before a shoot, because believe me, there is NOTHING exciting on a porn set without some assistance.

Okay...got it. I am curious. Why can't the guy masturbate to get it going?

Not just before shooting - between takes too - the guy has to maintain "wood," as they say in the business, and has been said already, it can be anything but exciting. Lots of pressure too, so it's a rare porn star who can produce the goods all the time.

correct me if i'm wrong. but i heard someone say that regarding film and photography. once you've gone porn it looks bad on your resume. like lets say you wanted to change your coarse and go into something more..not pornographic...

Do It! From my experience, the models are a lot less "bitchy" than mainstream models. They more "real" and laid-back. Not saying that all mainstream/fashion models are fake and bitchy- Just saying that there is less of it in Porn...

I haven't done "Porn" porn, but I've done nude and g/g stuff for Holly Randall and Suze Randall... Suze being one of the most famous porn photographers of all time.

They're ballin'.... Rich as sh*t... Lol.

Also- someone above me here posted a comment about using a Moniker...

There is a pretty well-known mainstream/commercial photographer who has an MM profile... He also shoots porn using a moniker... No one knows unless they've worked with him doing both wink

Between takes is'nt it the photographer who is supposed to help the guy maintain wood whilst the girl is touching up her make up.

To do it yourself you have to go somewhere in your head - pretty difficult with a whole film crew, and other actors standing around watching. External stimulation is a lot easier I would imagine.
