Erotic Photography and Nudes. (Shooting photos and being shot)

[domain]

I haven't seen a thread on here before about being involved with nude/erotic photography so I thought I'd start one. I really like taking photos but the few times I've had the chance to shoot erotic photography have been really exciting for me. I think what's most sexy to me is the confidence and look of a woman who is ready to open herself up to the camera and really lose themselves in the photos.

I'd like this thread to be a place where we can all share stories, fantasies and experiences that revolve around shooting, filming or being photographed.

I used to paint and work in other media years ago but life moved on and I settled into a regular 9 to 5. As I looked to get back into an artist's life, I started taking pics as possible subject matter for my work. As I had an artist's eye, I was able to take some good shots and had a few models ask me to help with their portfolios. A number of them were looking to get into online glamor and adult sites.

One of the biggest turn-ons for me was shooting a woman who was married, with kids in her 40s. Although well off, she was looking for new thrills and to pick up some extra money, with her husband's knowledge and consent. Still, there was a sensual tension when this quiet mom started stripping and doing more and more erotic and fully nude shots. Once there was trust between us, it was "no pose barred" and it was wild. But one of the funnest parts of this and other shoots was when the model, almost always still nude and now fully relaxed, would sit next to me, pressed close, as we reviewed the shoot on the laptop. Commenting about the shape of her breasts, her hard nipples, the shape of her ass, looking at her trimmed bush and while running her fingers up and down it asking if she should shave more, pointing out in subsequent shots how full and wet her labia became. Part of it was teasing. Part of it was testing to see if they could fully trust me. Part if it was living out an openness she was looking for. It was such a turn on to share such moments.

Great subject thread. I'll be coming back to contribute my thoughts when I get some time after the holidays.

Merry Christmas!

Interesting perspectives already being shared, anyone who's 'posed' or 'modeled' want to chime in now?

I made my living for 25+ years as a nude and erotic model. I loved it and made a good living doing it. I have also worked for several artists and a camera club in the last 10 or so years and enjoyed that also.

The enclosed picture was not a professionally shot piece, but I hope you like it.

VERY nice, Laura. Where can we find more of your pics/work?

 

[lance1969]

Good luck, still looking for models here in Miami Area.

I've always wanted to be photographed or painted nude. I have a friend who's going for her art degree. I should ask her whether she needs a model...

I used to love posing for pics back in the day. Of course those were the days when you had to get stuff developed at the chemist so there was a limit to how far one could go.

 

[Sweetdaisymae]

I would love to be professionally photographed!

 

[Sam37]

I would love to see your professional photographs! Your amateur pics are quite erotic?

Just a few of my thoughts on the subject.

Photographing and being photographed in an erotic manner are definitely not for everyone. But they are something I personally enjoy.

I have had a few experiences with past lovers when the camera came out in the bedroom as a means of exciting foreplay, but these were more impromptu occasions, not professional photo shoots. I have also taken many images of my self (ranging from artsy to xxx) and shared these privately with others as well as posting some on Lit, and have had several women share their images and video privately with me.

For me there are several themes that develop out of these experiences.

Vulnerability. Posing in front of the camera usually puts the control in the hands of another. They control what they want to see, and what is recorded, and they immediately possess the images that were taken. That sense of vulnerability is very enticing for many of us. Also, when an image is posted in the public domain, there is no control of who views, forwards, or copies and saves the image. The notion of this can be very hawt.

Voyerism. Peering into someone else's intimate space has intrigued humans for longer than photography has been in existence. Watching someone bare themselves to you and allow you to record the event is very sensual to me.

Risk. When we pose for an image, there is a risk that that image may migrate to the public domain, and we may be recognized, and there may be consequences for it. That risk and danger is something that can be very erotic when flirted with.

Trust. One of the most important elements of sexuality for me is trust. Showing someone that you trust them enough to allow yourself to become vulnerable is one of the greatest elements of intimacy for me.

Shared Secrets. Texting, emailing, or sharing images with someone also creates an emotional bond between the two people involved. Especially when one receives a sexy image while in a public place, and has a secret from the people around them.

I very much desire to be with a partner who is comfortable and confident enough to pose with me erotically. Unfortunately, this is outside of most people's comfort zones.

Also, I have a lady friend who has asked me to take sexy photos (teasing and somewhat revealing, but non-nude) of her, for her own purposes. There is a lot of trust and friendship between us, and also a lot of restrained chemistry on both sides. While I am concerned that the photo shoot might cross boundaries, and compromise our friendship, I am also very excited at the prospect of having a willing subject to photograph.

lovers arousing each other with photography . . .

Though it usually takes a while for lovers to conquer their camera shyness as they pose for each other, the interaction between photographer and model can be great fun. It can also open doors to the as-yet-unspoken desires that one or both have --- those things they would like to do sexually but have not had the courage to ask for from their partner.

For the lady who'd like to see her man in the sexy poses he assumes in her imagination, what better opportunity to orchestrate his positioning? Click, and she has a memento to launch future fantasies.

But what if she wants to be in the picture with him? Self-timers don't really allow for good focusing, framing, and shot composition, do they?

The solution is simple --- a professional photographer to ensure good lighting, good backgrounds, good focus, and everything else that will make for a sexy, arousing visual captured for the couple's future viewing pleasure.

As the originator of the thread invited both actual and fictional scenarios, perhaps the readership will enjoy http://www.literotica.com/s/justins-starring-role . . .

Most of all the right, and a will model.....that is the most important

that's the worst photoshop job i've ever seen...

My ex was a photographer and I loved when he photographed me.

 

[AdjectiveNounVerb]

I wish I had the artistic skill that would justify asking women to model for me, so I could create something beautiful with them as the subject. I'd prefer to be a painter than a photographer, though, but either way I don't have anywhere near the skill I'd need to do it.

Erotic photography is a true art form. Being comfortable enough to show off your body, in a clean way, is the height of sophistication and a big turn on. Subscribed.

Great subject, I have long to be a nude model for a female photographer but I have never found a willing photographer.
