you should be at a photography forum not a porn forum for those question. photography isn't important here. -bmb

get books on lighting before anything, learn all lighting first.. tungsten, strobes, natural, temparature, intensity etc... this will give you the most basic understanding, then study photography after.

Ask Vid Vicious very nicely, he's a great resource!!

abyss_al · 10-03-2007, 02:58 PM

step one: learn how film works. once you understand how film is shot, captured, exposed, developed, then you can move onto lighting and digital format.

yes I used to take my photography very serious. when I see bad color images and OOF images having the same value as my work it's a bit disconcerting. I do know that the photography has little value in pornography.

always remember this sinclair: no matter how hard you work to improve you product, the very next guy that picks up a camera for $300 a walmart is now your competition. bmb

Point taken. I do however make a huge distinction between my mainstream work where quality drives commerce as opposed to adult where commerce drives the quality. I am sure you recognize this, you are too smart and too talented not to.

actually I never made much money as an artist with photography. only sold a few works. I have made much more money as a writer. -bmb

I agree but not for 3 years. 3-33 days would be enough if you are smart. if dumb ,then forget about it. do not waste 3 years. and yes practice.

iguess · 10-03-2007, 10:40 PM

appreciate all the help!

CheeseFrog · 10-03-2007, 10:47 PM

Just start mashing the buttons on your camera until the pics come out looking ok. That's what I do. In fact, following my handy advice, Jayden shot these with probably under 4hrs seat time with a Canon DSLR:

vidvicious · 10-04-2007, 08:31 AM

Always do a white balance .. depending on the camera the preset white Balance can be off .. giving you Yellow skin ... Look above for an example .. the only pic without the yellow feture is the first one .. because the model was in the shade which is the usual preset for daylight

LiveDose · 10-04-2007, 08:40 AM

Shoot away. The key to photography is understanding lighting and composure. Go and sit at Barnes & Noble and take a look at the photo section.

Have fun...

mikesouth · 10-04-2007, 09:26 AM

"The Camera" by Ansel Adams

THEN shoot away

shooting without having any idea what you are doing is why somany people here SUCK as photographers

shooting porn is a fine balance between being a savy business person and a decent creative photographer.. too much photographer, you most likely dont have the business skills to sell any of your work, being too much business savy and you probably end up as a webmaster..
