The cookie jar
Added 2024-01-23 15:00:01 +0000 UTCI’ve talked about making some, erm, "self-pleasuring" images with The Endless Sinner for some time, and even though I can't show them here we both wanted to shoot them,
I didn’t want them to, in any way, resemble Met art or regular magazine images, though.
So I did some experimentation both with light and movement, long exposure times, and moving the camera closer during exposure.
The light is direct sunlight through a Lee Opal diffuser filter and then flagged off to create a more selective light.
Bonus material is available for the Photographers and Vault tiers on Discord which puts this text in context.
Don't know how to connect your Patreon with Discord (or set up a Discord)?

2024-01-23 21:53:55 +0000 UTC10 years ago I remember loving Met Art, then about 7 years ago I picked up photography and started learning a lot more about it. Now I look at their photos and think that's way too much skin smoothing, it looks so plastic and fake, did you just learn how to use photoshop!? It's funny how preferences can change. I love your take on it.
