Concern about photographers profile

[ThePhotoRebellion]

...But in the photographers credit at least he's not hiding anything - as someone else said.

He is hiding, he has separate websites.

...some rather explicit also some bondage photos.

You're telling me that you would be okay letting this guy photograph your child? If I had kids, I wouldn't take the chance.

...You know, I've had sex with adults. I've also had the odd bit of kiny stuff going on too.

You had sex with adults when you were underage? or you're still underage and have sex with adults? I'm confused.

You have to ask yourself, why does this person enjoy photographing "boudoir" and "bondage". Why?

ummm..... have you had a bit too much caffeine today?

Bring it down a notch.

Where in the world did you get the idea that ferny is a minor?

I wouldn't exactly say that's hiding.

He obviously does a wide range of subjects, which is perfectly fine . . . but if he were to put both the children and the racy shots on one website, how much business do you think he'd get? I doubt he has them on seperate websites in order to hide something devious.

Self expression? Who knows.

I know a very wonderful woman from this very site who does boudoir photos . . . and I'm quite certain I've seen her post pictures of children from time to time, too. Are you saying she's a pervert? Because I can tell you with 100% certainty that that's not the case.

If you have this much of an issue with this photographer, go elsewhere, but don't try to purposely find ways to nab him as some sort of a pervert.

That's how perfectly good people get perfectly good reputations ruined for no reason.

Self expression?...

That's not really an answer. I know that you can't answer why he photographs "people" in bondage, I'm not expecting you to. But if you shoot bondage and that's your answer, I would say that it's pretty lame. People shoot bondage because it get's them off.

@Corry - You're telling me that you would let your children be photographed by a photographer that shoots "Bondage"?

@runswithscissor - can you post his website? or are you really the "Bondage" photographer in question?

...find ways to nab him as some sort of a pervert.

PERVERT
NOUN:
a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.

If you polled a 1000 people, 900 of them would consider a person who photographs "boudoir" and "Bondage" as a pervert. It's not normal behavior.

Here's a generic argument but it's true. Most females have different intentions when photographing a nude body than does a man. Females usually have more innocent intentions, where males usually have self intentions.

Don't judge others by your own standards.
People can take all sorts of pictures for all sorts of reasons.
Money, for example.
Sex sells - more money is made on the internet from porn sites than from all the other businesses put together.
I've taken explicit sets for mens' magazines in my time and I found it less erotic than doing the laundry. I was doing it for the money - and so were the girls.

Now please excuse me, I have to gather firewood. I've just seen someone with a wart and I know that means they are a witch.

People shoot bondage because its what there good at, get paid for and is their line of work. People don't flip burgers because its gets them off. As Hertz said, it sells. Simple enough. The problem has been solved, a new photographer was sought after, imo this thread is only going to blow up.

Sorry, but until you actually perform this survey, or find one to show me, I'm calling BS on that one.

As Hertz said, don't judge others by your standards. You have no idea what is in the heads of 1000 people. You know what's in your head, and you might have a good idea of what a few other people think . . . or perhaps not even that. I can gaurantee you there are people you think you know who enjoy things you think are 'perverted'.

Boudoir photos are quite commonly done, too. Housewives have them done for thier husbands. Aspiring models might have them done. Or maybe someone who just wants to feel sexy might have them done.

And as for your definition of a pervert . . . what sexual act is this photographer performing?

He's getting paid to take photos. That's not a sexual act.

How can you say he's doing it to get off? You've read his mind? I've wished I had the talent and courage to shoot nude or boudoir photos before, and I can gaurantee you I'm no pervert.

This should really be in photographic discussions. It is a great topic. It's all about you... How you view what is art. You feel like this is someone you don't want to hold/have an image of your child then don't choose him.

I you appreciate his artistry for what it is then please choose him as your photographer. Many people who wear lovely frocks are freaks in the bedroom and I'm sure they've kissed your children on the cheek on a regular basis.

It's your money and your call.

@runswithscissor - can you post his website? or are you really the "Bondage" photographer in question?

Ya see... now why do you have to do that?

I was nearly ready to stand over by you... maybe offer some support... but you go and do that.

Like Hertz says: It's a job. I have done just two boudoir sessions in all my years, and I gotta tell ya, it was a lot of work. Not at all sensual.

Here's the other part of "It's a job." .... I don't take just any job that walks in my door. Sure... nearly all, but not every single one. The last time I told someone that "I'm not the guy for your job" was a mother wanting fashion/glamour photos of her 6-year-old. I just won't do this sort of work. My personal feelings are this verges on exploitation, if not completely crossing the line. I hope this says something about me. I know some might feel I'm wrong, but I'm fine with that and don't believe they're perverts.

So I do feel a bit like you do. If someone has carved out a niche in the world of bondage, I think his/her values are out of whack. I don't know about what their personal life is like. I just think they're taking advantage of a sad situation and wouldn't do it myself.

So, when I saw that you were first to respond to this thread and asked "are you the photographer in question?," I thought... well that's a bit queer. Now twice more in the same thread you've made innuendo... once again at the OP and once toward ferny.

This is not an effective way to argue a point. It just make you seem desperate.

Why so much passion about this? Did this happen to someone you care about?

................running to my prop room to see what I can scare up for some bondage pics...could be some extra $$$:lmao::lmao:

 

[rufus5150]

maybe contact him and/or meet to to get a first hand feel for him yourself.

This was a brilliant choice of words, Mike. Well played. Well played.

Self portraits? You know how to PM me.

 

[Joves]

Id call and talk to them. You may ask about the other shots. If they are good at potraits then it isnt like you are going to use them for day care. Then I would kind of wonder about their photos but, otherwise you will be there or, I would hope you would be.

 

[ThePhotoRebellion]

The purpose of my posts were not to offend or make personal attacks on anyone. I was voicing my opinion.

@runswithscissor - can you post his website? or are you really the "Bondage" photographer in question?

Comments like the one directed at runswithscissors are written with harmless sarcasm. Do I think she is the photographer? maybe. Do I think she is a she? maybe not. I do find it peculiar that this was runswithscissors's first post and now "she" has vanished? Yes.

@Cory - If someone is perverted, they're perverted, so it's not really an opinion, it's a fact. It's not by definition, it is the definition and bondage is a form of sex act.

Let's say "boudoir" wasn't even mentioned. Maybe this photographer shoots "Bondage" and kids portraits, then what would be your opinion?
