    Default Erotic Photography

    I'm new here so please be gentel. I am professional photographer in San Francisco. One of my services is providing erotic images for clients of all types. I was wondering what the women of this site think of doing erotic images. Would you do them? Why? Wouldn't you do them? Why? I'm just wondering what the respnse would be. Thanks.

    Just to make it clear I'm not trolling for models I'm just wondering what the thoughts are on the subject.

    LOVE EM!
    Have done some harley (is that erotic, lol)? Shots, but need to scan if i want them in the photo gallery. Right now i am in the process of going to a photographer for some Dom shots. Tastfully done! lol.
    I have done nudes, for various banners a few years back, and had an offer to be in Stunn, which i happily declined. Small article about banging your head while coming off the pole. (you know one of those stupid side shots they put in the magazine, met a photographer in Lauderdale when asked).
    I do foot vids/pix. I have done golden shower pix. Now i am ready to fix myself up to do Dom.
    PS My shots usually end up on banners or for a small sites advertising porno. I do phone sex, so i am all over them too. I love erotic shoots!
    When you speak erotic i imagine sexy, classy. Not hardcore pix.
    Am i right ?
    Ty, Pamela

    Hi Pamela!

    Your right on the money so to speak! Sounds like your more into fetish images. Most of my work has been more mainsteam glamour style. I have done some hardcoreish stuff such as sologirl and girl/girl still and video work. Some of the models come from the strip club scene but others are just off on a lark. I hope this topic isn't to far off the subject of stripping but I do know some women who do both and love both. Thanks for getting back to me.

    here is my info site if your interested.
    if there is a problem with my putting up my url let me know.

    Right you are! I am more into fetish style shots.
    I like the black and white. I love a half nude woman. Also the nudes are great too, i just think i may have burned out on them for awhile. You have beautiful work!!

    I like solo-girl shots.
    And no, not off the subject, alot of strippers pose nude! Just read Playboy, watch Howard Stern...Lol. And as you know some of us pose nude!!
    Again, very nice site you have, keep up the good work!
    Pamela
    PS I really like Karinas shot on the bed with her leg extended!!!! An original.

    a few years ago, most glamour magazines depended on independent photographers to provide the content. This meant that girls modeled for independent photographers, and when the 'set' was completed the photographers passed it around to magazine editors in hopes of a sale (at which point the photographer paid the model).

    However, in the last couple of years virtually all of the glamour magazines have started doing what Playboy has done for decades - i.e. installing photo studios on premisis and adding photographers on staff. In this way the magazines, who also have websites and video marketing, can directly engage a model to come to their studio to shoot several photo layouts and videos over a period of a couple of days. This setup obviously provides the magazine with lower costs and more material than if they just bought one photo layout from one independent photographer. This setup also provides the magazine with a higher degree of 'exclusivity' i.e. there is no risk that any of the layouts or videos they shot themselves will wind up appearing in a competing magazine or on a competing website or in a competing video offering.

    Be aware that girls who pose for layouts with independent photographers these days are potentially working against their own interests - because the existence of independent material available for purchase by competing magazines removes the 'exclusivity' and makes all magazines less likely to directly employ that model.

    Pamela,

    Thank you for taking a look at my work and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the compliment. The solo girl images are fun because I get a chance to work with the model one on one. The interatction is greater. We play off each other as we get more comfortable. I love the flirting during a good session. And that is all that ever happens. I don't take advantage or make other offers. My reputaion and that of the model are very important to me. The girl girl images are more work but definitely allow a bit more visual interest possiblities.

    Karina is a very special person and I really enjoyed working with her. She is a classically trained dancer who happens to also be a stripper. What a great sense of humor and just a delight to work with.

    Thanks again for posting!

    Shan Hi!

    Thanks for taking a look. I also do private sessions for people. I'm working on a set for a woman as a gift for her fiance. Lucky guy. I have people from all walks of life who want some type of image done. From people in the sex industry to people who just want an adventure.

    Thanks for taking the time to post.

    Hi Melonie,

    Thanks for posting. You are absolutely right about the magazines bringing in house a great deal of their production. There are obvious reasons why this would work for them. However there are only so many of them around and only so many assignment opportunities. Unless the magazine is looking to sign an exclusive with the model and keep her on contract it would be very hard for a model to make a full time living without talking to independents. Besides there are more layers to the field than just magazines and videos as you know.
    I do agree that each person has to take a good look at what direction they want their career to take and proceed from there. I do enjoy talking to people who have obviously had experience and know what they are talking about. Thanks.
