As a photographer myself, I'm very curious as to why you shoot this way. The first thing that comes to my mind is what position are you in when shooting. You could almost be on your stomach or maybe you're in a bunker or just really really short :winkwink: I'd hate to think you are hiding from your neighbors. :upsidedow
Awesome pictures but that angle dominates what you present here on GFY so I was just wondering why.

Porn is a fantasy. So sometimes I shoot with a wide angle lens to distort certain assets of a girl to bring attention to them: I.E. Ass, tits, story, etc. I've actually been shooting with a wide angle lens (16mm Fisheye) since I was 15 years old. I shot skateboarding, snowboarding and skiing and it allowed me to get into tight spots and still get the whole shot. I didn't have a video camera back then because they were not invented yet but I did have a 8mm movie camera that I used till it died in a mogul skiing helicopter aerial @ 40MPH.
So, if I was telling a story with just one picture, it had to hold everything and everyone and emphasise certain things to bring the beginning, middle and end to the story. And in porn, we give away pictures - to sell the video. So your 1 shot better carry the story well - because that may be your only chance to convince the surfer to buy what you are slingin and it should include as many details as posible without cluttering the shot.
But, I am shooting this same girl with my 50-200mm tomorrow and I'll post them here.
On another note, blue is the oposite color of skin and the sky is my favorite background because it keeps the integrity of the model's skin tone. So, if I'm low enough - the wide angle lens allows me to get the shoes and the model's head in the shot with as much blue behind them as posible. James Baes from Swank Digital who shot for Hustler for 25 years taught me this. He told me that the high sales of one of my movies American Teens XXX - shot on location in Hawaii was directly related to all the blue sky backgrounds of my pictures on the cover and back of the box. Blue is the favorite color of most men, and since men are my target market for naked chicks I'm slangin - it seems the obvious choice.
But what do I know. |
