Shooting porn with couples.

Keep the replies, comments and questions coming so I know you're still interested. LOL

Still very much the same message, know you niche, know your models and know how to get what you need from them.

There was a statement made by a sponsor that frankly pornographers have always known and should not need saying. He said it like it was something new. I'm taking it a bit out of context to fit this.

"Consumers want to see cleaner images and more realistic sex. A lot of reality sites are doing better than the ones that offer up just staged sex." All commercial porn is staged and this includes reality porn. Unless you're too stupid to realise girls do not get into vans with strangers and let them fuck her for the hell of it. Even porn a couple shoot of themselves to post on the Net is staged."

What he was trying to say is the consumer wants to see girls doing it for real, having fun, giving the impression they will fuck the viewer if he were there, losing themselves in the sex and cumming with a bang. They want to see her pleasure herself or and her partner for real. This can be done in a $2 million "staged production" or a $100 shoot. It's down to the shooter to make it happen.

So how do you get couples to do it for real?

Simple answer is you tell them or tell them to go home. You're in charge and they work for you. In the last 30 years occasionally I've had to stop and tell the models that if they really don't like what they are doing the door is not locked. It's the last stop you go to but it's always there. You can tell when shooting the stills if the models have any attraction to each other. On a two girl or boy girl shoot you can always decide to send one home and shoot solo. Three models can become two models, nine girl can be six girl.

Shooting people who are cold detached and "professional" is going to lead to shooting porn that does not arouse the buyer. In todays market he can find tons of that on Porn Tube sites. He needs to see a lot more to make him pay.

Start off with a lot of kissing, girls like kissing and it is the best way to arouse them. Shoot them being stroked, licked, caressed and aroused. The clit has a mind of it's own and like boys the little head can rule the big head.

Don't let them stop every shot, tell them to do it while you shoot and move, tell them to keep moving tongues, fingers hands so you can get a lot of shots to choose from. If they do it like wax dolls you have a problem. I've had girls tell me they don't kiss for real on stills but do on video. I tell them I need the shots different and alive and I don't shoot models who don't kiss on stills. They change their rules, just do it with a smile.

The girls are not meant to constantly be looking into your camera, it breaks them away from the other people in the scene. There are a few selling shots that need to be captured, they don't mean she looks at you all the time. The guy is there for the build up and his dick, he rarely features in the scenes. Exceptions are Gonzo where it's about the guys getting laid, but not many. When the fucking starts keep the camera off the guys face as much as possible is the general rule.

When shooting the video and the models are getting going keep it soft so they can build themselves up, you can edit it out, and let their sexuality develop. Once it's there remember the girl can cum and cum, shoot her cumming and don't change position half way through. Boys cum once and a good reason to use only professionals who can control themselves.

Shoot as much as you can and except for the cum shot and maybe a few others, keep yourself to yourself. Nothing kills a scene faster than a shooter stepping in every 5 minutes. It's about them not him. Exceptions are few.

The main thing to remember is though she is not looking into the camera she's aware you're there. She is showing you what she's doing. Normal sex is pretty boring for those watching a porn film, the models are putting on a show for you. Yes you because you're in the room. The viewer is harder to relate to than you. Well he should be.

A good boy or experienced girl will know the shots you require, if they work for you a lot they know how you work and what you want. If they're new make sure they know before they start.

Keep the replies, comments and questions coming so I know you're still interested. LOL
