There is a who;e nitch profession called Boudoir photography.Fucking Glamour Shots and books on lighting techniques would not help me and my performances. Some old wrinkled asses, mine, are best left not photographed.
Read a few books and look up the work of pros who do that type of photography. Originally Posted by ICU 812

I have video taped some especially if I'm worried about LE. Some (majority)providers don't realize sex with video taping for money is legal and protected under the first amendment. So if you literally agree to have sex for money while you video tape it on your phone it's legal. Originally Posted by Wizbull0Umm?? Where did you get your facts?

It's more than just reading books and looking at what we do - it's learning lighting, settings, rules of photography, framing, how to pose your models because most of the times we have to direct the shoot, knowing which lens to use, understanding how a photo is made (depth of field, focal points, shadows, etc.)...that's the biggest misconception that people make is that they can just read a book or look at what we do and duplicate it...I've been a pro for over 2 decades and trust me, it's much more to it...I encourage anyone that wants to take up this profession but there are ways to go about it - just because you can change the oil in a car does not make you a mechanic - it's the same with what we do - which is why there are professional photographers and hobby photographers - if you look at the successful porn sites many of the ladies work with pros and it shows in their images.

I shoot boudoir, glamour, art and erotica. I also shoot commercial, media, celebrities, politicians, portraits, and weddings and have done so for 23 years. I know what the differences are - I teach others the differences and have done that for over 10 years. I don't have to book with an ATF to shoot - I shoot tons of provider showcases monthly.
There is a huge amount more than just buying photo gear. As I said, there is a whole sub catagory of portrait photography directed at making erotic images of women—that they intend to give to their SO. The difference between this and porn is often just how much "pink" is shown or the angle of the pose.
If this type of photography was easy to do, anyone could do it!
Why not book time with your ATF and do a photos-only session with a real fashion, glamour or boudoir photographer? It could turn into real fun. Originally Posted by ICU 812

How about sleepovers? If I was a provider I would be scared to death that the guy would take pictures while I was sleeping.I agree
I've done pictures and video with some providers myself, but only after we became good friends and only with their permission.
I would never disclose anything of that to anyone. Just for personal fun! Originally Posted by waverunner234
