Exactly. I shot this with a 5 year old Nikon Digital camera with a flash on Camera. No crew, no lighting truck, no assistant, with no time to wait for the sun to pause so I could shoot. I could have shot the exact same picture with a 1970's SLR on Film. I would have had to bracket the exposure a little and processed the film myself to make sure I got the shot to save expensive hotel fees but I could have done it. In fact I have some skateboarding shots into the sunset that I could dig out of my garage fgrom the 80's that have the same look.
Ansel Adams took the most amazing pictures of Yosemite using almost a box camera. I could have shot the exact picture with a cardboard box with a hole punched through one side and film on the back wall. I would have had some sleepless nights, some trial and error, and some dodging and burning in the darkroom, but it could have been done.
There are 3 parts to a good porn photograph: Lighting, Composition, and CASTING. And it takes a really good shooter to master all 3.
