I think it would be fun to take pictures of a girl as she strips - kind of be an amateur softcore porn photographer. I'm currently considering trying on Craigslist to find models to pose nude for me because my girl isn't interested. I was wondering if there are any amateur photographers out there that have tried anything like this and what it was like...where did you find the girl?

I'd imagine most erotic pictures taken between consenting adults are boyfriends/husbands with digital cameras snapping photos of their girlfriend/wife posing in lingerie / bath towel / bikini or performing various techniques from the age old badger dance. Paying a Craigslist hooker to take dirty pics is a kinda skeezy investment for an end product you can acquire en masse online for free.

If I want naked pictures of a strange woman (novelty), Al Gore invented the Pornoweb. If I want naked pictures of someone I live with... it's because more than their body turns me on.

Real question is: Do you erase them or do you keep them for blackmail purposes when your former s/o runs for President?

It is my general feeling that taking erotic pictures of your s/o is the kiss of death for a relationship.

NO WAY!!! I don't want anyone seeing my fat ass. My parents do and they seem to think it is ok to put them in a box of all our pictures. Smart.

Girls can't be creepers. You can be psycho hose beasts, but not creepers.

Ohh.My.God!! Why would they want to wound someone like that?

I took some of one of my exes, at her request. I used a Polaroid camera if you remember those (you press a button and a print pops out). I left all the pictures with her and she kept them in a drawer in her bedroom and sometimes we would take them out and look at them. I think I'll ask her if she still has them (it's been years) and if I can see them again.

Yes i have boxes of polaroids.................M11

If digital cameras had been available back in '83...

Has he come out of the closet yet?

Only if he asked you to and you didn't.

As far as my own experiences, I've held a videocam while I got a blowjob. Her idea. Loved it, although I would be paranoid about something with my identity attached to it falling into hands I didn't put it in so I'm glad my face wasn't in it. That dichotomy would prolly take an entire thread of its own.

I hate to piss in your cornflakes but I've done a few of these shoots, some of which didn't start that way but ended up as such and I've found it not worthy of the effort or the risk. The internet is already flooded with Guys With Cameras - many of which are creeps willing to misrepresent themselves and their work in the hope of seeing some naked chicks. To counteract the creep factor, many women will ask to bring along a friend who will undoubtedly second guess your every move and annoy/intimidate all of the fun out of the situation.

That is if he/they don't attempt to rob you, stiff you on the price, have you arrested for sexual harassment or rape or some perceived sexual advance, or if the model isn't actually a prostitute or total waste of your time...

This isn't to say that your every encounter will turn out this way but with so many men jailed and labeled predators over situations much less sexually charged, is it really worth the risk? Not to mention that by the time you've covered your ass sufficiently, you've removed much of the "fun" from the situation.

Beg your wife.

the wife and I have done, I've done it with exes.. etc.

we were thinking about having one of those couple boudoir shoots done.. but since most of them don't allow certain things..we'll just use our own camera.

telekinetic

Of course! I've posted some here. I've actually taken a pretty recent set that I haven't gotten around to uploading....or rather, asking if I can upload, hehe.

Done it before, had an ex that liked being photographed and watched. I liked taking pictures and watching, it was a win/win. I've snapped a few "candid" pics at the bar or parties, nothing major.

Always wanted to run a porn site, never got around to doing it.

Got one nice set that has my ex, a girl we picked up, and myself doing "the ol' badger dance" as Cromp calls it. To me it's just bragging rights to my friends that I've done a threesome and they haven't.

Good to know!

Orgo

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I initially chose to ignore it, and found some people online supposedly willing to pose for cash. But after scheduling a time for the first shoot, I gave it a second thought and canceled. As others have pointed out here, I don't think it's worth the risk/hassle/money in the end. Maybe someday I'll get my wife to pose for me, but she's said that if we did she'd want them erased right away...in which case, what's the point? Also, she's good at many things, and beautiful, but likely not a very good model.

With all that, I still think it would be an interesting and fun experience, and feel like I've seen enough porn (some good, but much of it bad) that I could do a better than average job as a photographer producing erotic images.

I have done it several times, never really looked too hard, being in college helped. Mostly friends that wanted to get a portfolio started without spending money. Other times alcohol was involved. Sometimes all it takes is having the equipment and some women just flock to it. It can be a fun process as long as you don't get weird about it.

squeeeb

there was this drunk chick passed out in an alley once....

other than that, mostly friends who let me take pictures, and a friend who asked me to take them as a present for her boyfriend.

so...chicks you know who trust you are the way to go.

Yes, I've taken erotic photos, and yes, I've kept them after the relationship has ended.

The ones of my most recent ex, I have visions of grandeur for on her wedding day involving a projector, a Baptist church full of appalled individuals, and a river of tears and resentment.

Oh yeah, and me with a HUGE fuckin' smile on my face.

I think she would be too self-conscious. She's too intellectual and inhibited to model in a way that looks natural while clothed, being nude would only make it worse I think.

Bear Cub

That's what alcohol is for.

start with a glass of wine and the soft core stuff, for example, get a big plant, or a guitar, or statue like a garden gnome, or something, and have her sit naked, behind it, so nothing (tits or pussy) is exposed. nothing to feel self conscious about. use a blanket or sheet draped over her seductively, then, as things progress, you can maybe get more adventurous.

I did quite a bit of erotic and nude photography a few years back. Initially, I had to find and hire models on sites like One Model Place (don't know if it even still exists), but once I had a good portfolio going (also posted on OMP), the women were contacting me for shoots as TFP (time for prints). Just don't pay the model and then give her the photos--make that clear with her up front. I also made clear in the initial phone conversation that I would have a girlfriend present during the shoot with me (and I did) and they were welcome to bring their husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends. It took it all out of the realm of sleaziness. Doing a really good job of fine art nudes or erotic photography is a LOT of hard work, but it's also alot of fun, especially if the model is comfortable and has experience with nude photo shoots previously.

This is why people take GHB recreationally.

Oh Crompy, you always know the right things to say.




What can I tell you, I always new I was management material.

I wish I had taken nude photos of my wife and I when we were young and fit. Sigh......

Sounds to me like you still have a thing for him and vice versa him for you.

You two should patch things up.

As to the post at hand, digital cameras weren't around back in mid 80 to late 80's when I was at University. I did have a GF that I was quite crazy about and we had taken poloroids of each other. (She kept those of me in her locker at school behind some rather mundane prints. (Kind of funny looking back how kids would decorate their lockers). Anyway, I kept the nudie shots of her in my bedroom at my parent's house, but I had told her where they were hidden lest something happen to me so she could retrieve them before my mother found them.

Well, one day we got into a huge arguement and she tricked her way into my parents home, got the pics and burned them up.

Sad in a way that those photos of a beautiful 21 year old woman are gone forever. But smart for her. (The internet didn't exist back then anyway.)

thesaurosie

I drew a smile on my tummy and took a topless picture. My ex needed SOMETHING to amuse him at work.

aphrodisiac

i once looked up from going at it to see that my lover had grabbed my camera from the nearby table and started taking closeups!

unfortunately they "had" to be deleted the next morning

I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of said erotic photos of me...
