Do you or would you consider shooting porn?
For money right now I would do it. I don't care as long as is not me in the picture. I would sell all the rights and be on my way. Nobody will even know it was you who shot it. Nov 20 08 06:39 am Link This economy is as bad as it get for my real job, so if it pays you bet I would. Nov 20 08 06:41 am Link nope...boring....sensual is much more challenging... and nothing for portfolio work....and fashion industry is extremely itchy about those things... so all-in-all......not interesting.... Herman Nov 20 08 06:45 am Link The main thing that would stop me is dealing with the 2257 regulations, and fear of legal repercussions down the road. I'm surprised more people haven't said this, especially with all the anti-porn witch hunts that have taken place in the US in recent years. I have no personal moral objections as long as there is no violence involved (actual or implied).

Nov 20 08 07:00 am Link I wouldnt call it a moral obligation, I just think it would be limiting later on in life, particularly if I chose to pursue a professional career later on down the road. Nov 20 08 07:06 am Link Mother in law already thinks half of what I shoot is Porn.... Nov 20 08 07:07 am Link talk me into it.... Nov 20 08 07:08 am Link I'd make a career out of it if the pay is good. It sure as hell beats working in a stuffy office IMO. I'd treat it the same as my commercial work, except it wouldn't go into my mainstream portfolio. It's not like the porn stuff is gonna have my name all over it... who needs to know? Nov 20 08 07:17 am Link It's not my bag baby. Nov 20 08 07:19 am Link Nov 20 08 07:21 am Link Kelly Watkins wrote: There is a really rotten joke in here but I'm not touching it. Nov 20 08 07:22 am Link No issues here. Nov 20 08 07:23 am Link Magnus Hedemark wrote: This is the only real issue for me. However, I am sure with a few upcoming shoots and meetings with like minded photographers and other artists, that is soon changing.

I tried everything I could to talk her out of it. Everyone that I know that has gotten into it, regrets it. It's something that follows you around for the rest of your life. With that said, if the model insists that they really want to do it, I would shoot porn, softcore, or what ever it is they wanted. Nov 20 08 07:35 am Link I think it would be a challenge, I would at least try... Nov 20 08 07:55 am Link Bil Brown wrote: That's good that you are comfortable. My only issue with using my real/mainstream name for any adult work is that I still shoot a lot of mainstream work so I prefer to keep separate what basically amounts to two facets of my business that are unrelated. Nov 20 08 09:58 am Link I've shot it before, I'll shoot it again. Money was tight, the offer was made, so I took the job. Not what I'd normally shoot, but it helped me survive for a year until work picked back up. Nov 20 08 10:02 am Link Rita Lovely wrote: Do I or would I? no Nov 20 08 10:07 am Link for all intents and purposes, what I shoot is considered "porn". And since I'm the rigger and shooter, I'm a porn "star" and producer. Hell, I've even "acted" in a high budget porn as a featured extra. So, my answer is yes...now, where's all that money? Nov 20 08 10:07 am Link i'd do it. i bet i'd make pretty pronZ  Nov 20 08 10:08 am Link trashy t modelography wrote: can I haz downlodez of ur pronZ? kthxbi Nov 20 08 10:09 am Link Nope, wouldn't draw it unless someone was paying me a huge commission, and only if the wife approved. she's not a prude, but she is my biggest backer and influence. Nov 20 08 10:15 am Link In general the folks in porn make the work less than enjoyable - many are a bit on the shady side of the tracks or have super inflated egos - not all but many. It is a weird genre to tackle. I also can't say the money is good - I beleive there are only a few shooters who have been able to open the right doors to do shoots anymore. Many stills are taken from video captures with the exception of "hidher" end productions for box covers. The nudies mags have moved offshore to HK or Singpore. So where is the work some of yo talk about? Met-art? Nov 20 08 10:40 am Link I would if I had a kool stage name like Rita Lovely... hmmm... *thinking...* Okay, I'll use.... Juice Shooter. Nov 20 08 10:44 am Link Bil Brown wrote: LOL, that's just about where I am in my "career". Nov 20 08 10:47 am Link Rita Lovely wrote: It isn't really. You can earn more money per day shooting nightclub events. Nov 20 08 10:50 am Link It's crossed my mind more than a few times. Nov 20 08 10:54 am Link Yes I would and am actually in negotiations with a publisher right now and waiting on paperwork outlining isues like who would be responsible for the 2257 records keeping. The work they have is playboy meets a little penthouse style done in sets going from clothed to nude with some "there it is" shots and does not include any men so what the hell, as has already been said the money appears to be damn good and also as already stated I do not not have to stamp my name on anything other than the dotted line on the back of the check. Acting in a porn....lmao....no they wouldn't sell any of it and I would be fired. Nov 20 08 11:08 am Link geodiego wrote: Exactly!! I guess ya could say theres two sides to any "coin".
