Sex in Photography

[Yemme]

How much of a role does sex play in photography? Are photographers using their talents to get laid?

Are definitions such as this true in essence?

GWC- a) Guy With Camera
b) One who poses as a photographer in order to photograph nude or semi-nude women and then masturbates to his own portfolio.

Nothing posted by Alpha in that thread is true
That said you do get to meet loads of chick which think highly of your big lenses.

Everything by everybody in that thread is just a laugh.


Hmmmm..... (me wonders why this question)

Yup, it's true... Whip out that big 'ol lens and watch the ladies' jaw (& pants) hit the floor. If you're not having this affect on women, I suspect you might need a bigger lens.





OK, seriously (feels weird being serious now...) - most ladies I've met don't know what half the crap in my camera bag is. It might work on a female photographer (kinda doubt it...), but you better have a bigger lens, or at least a bigger sensor than her.

There's plenty of women on here, maybe one of them will tell us if we can score chicks by having big glass, lol!

I shouldn't have to point out the obvious here, but it's not the size of the lens but the magic behind it.

I have to agree here.. I have had some guys take some pretty sexy/drool worthy photos of me with just a p&s camera. So it totally has to do with the magic of the photographer and his ability to make the subject look damn good!

Yeah GWC is a very real problem (?) in photography. Not quite sure if they are getting laid and not sure if they are talented. If you want to discus a real and interesting topic let us discuss Sex in Photographs. Not porn, but the idea, vision and or feeling of sex and what is sexy.

Contrary to popular belief no one cares if you have a long lens these days. Kind of like owning a Hummer (the SUV) once it was popular now it is quite laughable.

so my lens cap is a condom? and my lens hood? i've heard some of the cheaper lenses creep a bit, too.

I do not understand, what this thread is about!?

See that's what I've been telling all the girls but they just don't believe me

Had they a shorter one I would have named myself.

OP - Yes. GWC is actually an accurate term. Just check out www.modelmayhem.com (NSFW) and you'll see plenty of people that are there just to get laid.

Yeah, and just look what happens to people like that: http://modelmayhm-8.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/080725/12/488a025119187.jpg
