Great photography Rex. And you're right. it breaks out of the norm. Nice art work.

I really like the second one but the framing of the first seems off a bit. I see the bumps on the left but there is no balancing curve or anything on the right; it looks truncated a bit.

Great tones and conversion.

Hi so Im pretty new to this forum and I wasnt sure exactly how to start my own, but the question I have is pretty close to this topic so Ill just post it here.
Quite recently and several times in the past I have been asked to do nude male shoots. As a female photographer, I generally pass up these types of shoots. Because i question the motives, safety and i want to stay away from porn shoots and keep my work genuinely artistic. Recently Ive been asked to do a male and im considering taking on this shoot but he wants to do it errect. any ideas on how to keep this classy and should i be concerned or stay away from people approaching me for these types of shoots.

Also nice job on the photos!

IMO, this guy went by classy about ten minutes ago.
This just sounds wrong.
And, unless this guy is much, much more virile than I am, there is one one r in erect.

Well thank you.

Yeah, I'd be wary of a situation like this. I mean, you can be somewhat artful about it. I'm not sure classy would be the right word, since I don't think I can picture a situation where an erect phallus is classy.

I can provide you a link to some people who do erotic fine art nudes if you'd like.

However, as Traveler said, the way you described this sounds a bit...bad. I mean, I've had friends who do nude modeling for life drawing classes, but I've never had one ask me casually ask me to shoot those specific shots like that. It sounds like the guy might have an ulterior motive, especially if you don't personally know him.

If you do decide to do the shoot, be sure to have someone else there with you. If you can't find anyone who would be comfortable with it and if you're not comfortable with it, pass it up. No reason in putting yourself in a potentially dangerous situation just because a guy wanted some photos of his boner.

Nudes generally are not considered sexual, but since he wants specifically to do it erect, it sounds as though he sees it as sexual. Offer to do it, but tell him you'll have a male assistant with you. See if he's still interested.

There can be some outstanding erotic art where a male is erect (for instance, a post above cited Mapplethorpe). But here's the deal...you've passed up shooting male nudes (for a bunch of reasons) and now someone is asking you to shoot a concept that--unless done very well--will be porn. This concept he's asking for is best done by someone who has a lot of experience shooting art nudes or erotic art. Otherwise, you're going to feel tawdry and/or unsafe and you're going to produce work that is soft-core porn. That's not a statement about your work or ability as a photographer. That's the reality of shooting a concept where the margin for error (between art and porn) is small...much smaller than just shooting a nude (male or female) that is artistic or porn or just boorish. That's my advice.

Give it the 10 foot barge pole treatment (no pun intended).
Even as a male photographer I wouldn't consider a request like this, even if I knew the subject and was absolutely sure of his motives. I wouldn't want my good name associated with images that could be considered as porn.
If you are a young and attractive female my instincts (as male of mature years with some knowledge of my fellow males) are that this person's intentions are less than honourable. i.e. 99.9% chance that he's a perv.

An erection isn't necessarily porn. It is pretty necessarily sexual, I'm not really seeing any way around that.

Still, it could be commentary. It could be erotica. Fine art's gonna be tough, but not impossible.

If you're interested, I'd dig pretty deeply into the guy's motives, and I'd make sure there's a chaperone. Honestly, when people of opposite sex who don't know one another are working together for the first time, there should always be a chaperone if possible. It just takes bunch of possibility for bad things, but much more likely, misunderstandings and social difficulties, off the table.

Don't buy the "shoot one erect cock and you've ruined your career" theory one bit, though. This isn't 1898 any more. Maybe if you live in a very small conservative town, or work for a church, or something. But outside obvious special cases, nobody gives much of a damn if you shot a bunch of orgies last year. It's a porny world.

Without judging the artistic merits, I am reminded of Mark Twains humorous observation concerning naked men. "Clothes make the man, a naked man has no standing in society."
