Without doubt the American public views professional adult photographers as sleaze incarnate.  But I see them as the true artists of today.<\/p>\n

Forgive me if in my previous post I have seemed to be condescending towards the professional adult photographers shooting next to me. Some of them were, I believe, far superior to me for doing studio photography. Certainly those professional adult photographers had much more experience doing it than I did. Furthermore, they made their living this way, whereas I did a bit of everything\u2013doing the writing, shooting pictures, polishing up my images, doing web site work\u2013so I found myself a jack of all trades yet a master of none.<\/p>\n

\"at<\/p>\n

But as I mentioned in my last post, the best of my colleagues were oftentimes put at the greatest disadvantage when it came to doing the best stage action photography. And the most highly paid of those professional adult photographers were the ones that were at the greatest disadvantage.<\/p>\n

I could shoot a thousand pictures in a single evening of entertainers doing their shows.  And edit the images myself using a graphics arts program.  Then send them directly off via internet to whoever I wanted to.  For instance Xtreme Magazine or the Pure Talent Agency.  And I could even show off my pictures to entertainers on my laptop between their shows right in the night club.<\/p>\n

But the best professional adult photographers near me had to send their negatives to the magazines they were shooting for.  Or have them developed elsewhere.<\/h3>\n

Which was a slow lengthy process during which they gave up control of what their final output was to become. Most of them wanted the latest digital pro cameras but found themselves stymied by the outmoded technology victimizing them.<\/p>\n

Later these same professional adult photographers would be capitalizing on the new digital high tech with a vengeance. One of them would later start carrying around not one but two Nikon D-1 x\u2019s just like mine.  While another, who I had a huge amount of respect for, was just starting to get into digital by the time I was moving to Thailand.<\/p>\n

But whenever I start thinking back of the professional adult photographers shooting near me in all those night clubs I keep fondly remembering him. He was a real pro, who made a good living by his photography alone.  Whereas I was making my living farming of all things and was only doing my writing and photography as a lark. I remember back a long time ago before I knew better ogling all those erotic fully naked glossies in the magazine he was shooting for.<\/p>\n

Back then I could visualize the professional  adult photographer who actually did the work. He was dark headed and slender with a muscular build  And he had beady eyes because only someone like that could produce such pictures.<\/h3>\n

Later, I\u2019d find myself working side by side with him, and not just once, but many many times although never enough.   Another photographer took the picture of me lying across the sexy woman.  But I never met her before nor would I ever see her again.   She was just one of many entertainers I would meet at Nudes-A-Poppin.<\/p>\n

There are a hundred female and male entertainers all around me in the swimming pool area where Sunday\u2019s shows are being performed. The Nudes-A-Poppin pageant is a two day affair with the competitions being held on a large outdoor stage next to the pool.<\/p>\n

If you look closely you might be able to see a fence on the perimeter of this pool area. There is a crowd of paying customers just outside this fenced in area. I think it costs them $50.00 a person to get into the Ponderosa Sun Ranch. Ponderosa Sun Ranch is a nudist colony, but one weekend per year it hosts the Nudes-A-Poppin festivities.  I am within the fenced in perimeter.  Which means that I\u2019ve not paid a dime to be here for one thing.<\/p>\n

The customers outside the fence are allowed to come onto the Ponderosa Sun Ranch property only on Sunday.  After they pay their $50 admission fee.  The rest of us have been here since 6:30 on Saturday morning.<\/h3>\n

On both Saturday and Sunday mornings our day starts off with entering a small outbuilding on the property where we will spend the next four or five hours doing our release work. There\u2019s only four or five professional adult photographers in the building.  And I\u2019m one of them.<\/p>\n

Bob Ferguson is standing next to me. He\u2019s the guru among us.  He\u2019s the old pro.  So if we have any questions, he\u2019s the man we will ask. The entertainers will start entering this outbuilding from around 7 a.m. on.  So we have to be here until 11 or 12. Since there are to be no competitions until Sunday, this leaves all of us free to simply wander around the place taking pictures or just getting to know people.<\/p>\n

Bob will be our fearless leader. All the entertainers know him.  After all he\u2019s been shooting their pictures for years and has developed quite a following. The more prominent among them have visited his private photography studio at least once.<\/h3>\n

He\u2019s far from being the beady eyed, dark headed predator I had imagined when I used to ogle his stimulating pictures in “Cheri Magazine”. His hair has long ago started to grey, and he\u2019s probably not as slender as he used to be. He is soft spoken and very accommodating.<\/p>\n

One cannot help liking him. Upon entering this small building all entertainers must produce at least two id\u2019s which will verify who they are and that they are over 18. There are four or five people working for the Ponderosa Sun Ranch who are here to assist the entertainers and to make sure that all the release work gets done properly. There\u2019s a row of several long tables where the entertainers now sit. Here they have to fill out their paperwork.<\/p>\n

Bob and I and the other professional adult photographers each have over one hundred releases handy.<\/h3>\n

At this point each of the professional  adult photographers must make sure that someone gives each entertainer a copy of our magazine\u2019s release. A copy of each entertainer\u2019s id\u2019s is made and this submitted to the people in charge.<\/p>\n

My release has a space on it for the id number which is usually the person\u2019s driver\u2019s license. Each entertainer must now completely fill out five or six releases, which include mine and Bob\u2019s. Once an entertainer fills out all her releases and gets up from the table it is our job to shoot pictures of her. Bob might be the first, or it might be me or someone else. But all of us professional adult photographers work together so that the whole process goes like clockwork.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s my turn to take an entertainer\u2019s picture I have her place the Xtreme Magazine release up in front of her (but not in front of her face. She also must show her number which identifies her when she\u2019s up on stage the next day or even if she\u2019s having her pictures taken as she wanders around the place.<\/h3>\n

I enjoy the company of the other professional adult photographers around me and as I have already mentioned there\u2019s only four or five of us.<\/p>\n

Outside the building the entertainers will be meeting a few other photographers.   But Scarlet’s carefully screened all of the professional adult photographers.    Who is the owner of the Nudes-A-Poppin pageant. Either that or it\u2019s her parents who technically own it along with the Nudist Camp.  But one can be sure that it\u2019s Scarlett who\u2019s the ramrod. And you don\u2019t just show up here expecting to shoot pictures. It is up to Scarlett to determine whether you are worthy or not. Her primary criterion is that she has to think that you are able to provide Nudes-A-Poppin with some rather significant publicity.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been here before, the first time covering Nudes-A-Poppin for Exotic Dancer Publications and Xtreme Magazine after that.<\/h3>\n

Looking back on it all, I feel that I was among the elite of the elite. Only four or five professional adult photographers get to do their release work inside the little building.  And I\u2019m working side by side with Bob who\u2019s simply one of the best.<\/p>\n

One can just imagine the prestige a photographer gets with all the entertainers just by being with such a small group. Since there\u2019s no entertainment scheduled once the release work is completed, the other professional adult photographers and I accompany Bob, who\u2019s become our unofficial fearless leader in a pilgrimage about the place.<\/p>\n

For the next hour or two Bob assembles groups of entertainers for group photos. There\u2019s also outdoor games the women participate in. By mid-afternoon most of us are hungry so we wind up wandering off in our cars in small groups to visit various restaurants throughout the area.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how I found Dirty Heather. She had ridden down with two men from Iowa. One of them would eventually end up shooting Pure Talent\u2019s showcases about the time I had finished shooting them.<\/h3>\n

They invited me to accompany them to lunch at the Olive Garden, two girls were with them, so that\u2019s how I started getting to know Heather.<\/p>\n

One thing about Nudes-A-Poppin. It\u2019s held at a nudist colony for one thing.  So the nudist colony\u2019s rules must be religiously adhered to. One of the rules is there\u2019s no swimming in the colony\u2019s pool unless one is completely nude. On at least two occasions I found myself in a group of men and women completely naked in the pool drinking with the people around me. One time it was with Bob and several of the other photographers along with several very well known feature entertainers.  The other time it was with several attractive unknown strippers who just happened to have the hotel room next to mine.<\/p>\n

Now I don\u2019t know if this is another rule or not, but I\u2019ve heard that the Ponderosa Sun Ranch\u2019s property does not allow hard ons.<\/h3>\n

At least not in public. If true, I don\u2019t know what the nudist colony does with the offending member. Does it chop it off or does it expel its host from the community?<\/p>\n

I will say that I\u2019ve never been physically stimulated in a single one of my several visits there as a photographer. Of course we professional adult photographers are always fully clothed at Nudes-A-Poppin. Except when we are in the swimming pool.<\/p>\n

This is not the case with the entertainers. In fact we are so constantly surrounded by all those naked female bodies that it all gets to be very ho hum.<\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t allowed to get hard ons even if we felt like getting them so what\u2019s the whole point? Oh yes. The point is to get as many outstanding pictures as possible.<\/h3>\n

So take a look at the picture at the top of this post again? The girl is one of the very few who\u2019s got any clothing on. I\u2019ve got a lot more pictures of me with my head on the laps of fully naked entertainers. But is there really a difference? Pleasure and Pain<\/a> will be featured in my gun article on the Baikal 12 gauge shotgun<\/a> and I\u2019ve got pictures of me lying all over a fully naked Pleasure, but there\u2019s nothing going on here. And there isn\u2019t with the girl in this picture either.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pleasure. If you want to see more pictures of this mother daughter stripper duo click on this picture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The only thing is although I\u2019d first meet Pleasure at Nudes-A-Poppin, I\u2019d later become good friends with her whereas the girl in this particular picture I\u2019d never see again.<\/h3>\n

She was very cute.  But she simply never showed up at any of the adult industry events I\u2019d later be covering.<\/p>\n

But back to Bob. Bob was no doubt one of the finest photographers in the adult entertainment business. He was also one of the most respected. For instance Lolly Tops who appears in \u201cExtreme Guns and Babes for an Adult World\u201d<\/a> with the SKS rifle, used to call me up every week just to see how I was doing and to exchange the latest gossip. But she\u2019d also call Bob up about every week. For one thing she knew Bob could be very influential to an entertainer\u2019s career. He was shooting for “Cheri Magazine”<\/a> and when he wasn\u2019t he was shooting a lot of promo for entertainers.<\/p>\n

Promo is a term for advertisements for adult entertainers that are centered around one or more professionally done pictures. These pictures are usually done in a studio setting where special lighting and props are being used.<\/h3>\n

Whenever an entertainer told me Bob produced her promo, I knew she was pretty serious about her career. I suppose that if someone were to see pictures of me naked in the Nudes-A-Poppin<\/a> swimming pool with all those naked women.    That all kinds of thoughts would be floating around about all the evil things we were doing to each other.<\/p>\n

\"Professional
Shooting totally nude pictures like this is routine stuff for Professional Adult Photographers. Which included me.  I’d be taking pictures like this all day long at Nudes-A-Poppin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The reality, however, was all too mundane. I no longer think of Bob having sex with all his models. I\u2019m sure that a lot of people must think the same way of me that I used to have of Bob. The truth is that it really makes no sense to be fucking one\u2019s bread and butter. All kinds of problems crop up starting with one\u2019s getting a very bad reputation in the adult community. The truth is men like Bob are true artists, which brings us back once more to the Rodin sculpture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The sculpture is of two completely naked figures, one male and the other female embracing one another. Now one could call this pornographic because it goes so far as to suggest a sexual act.<\/h3>\n

But it\u2019s considered art instead. Yet I\u2019ve had my web site removed by IX Hosting a few years ago without any warning whatsoever. The reason given was that I violated their service agreement by showing \u201cadult content\u201d whatever that means. And I showed a lot less of the female anatomy than Rodin and many other famous artists.<\/p>\n

I will argue, however that artists such as Rodin, have performed a very valuable service for the betterment of humanity. Sculptures such as a Venus show the female body in an idealized state.  And since they are idealized they give women something to strive for in a quest to improve their bodies. The same is true for men because with a Rodin sculpture they can visualize men the way the Greeks saw them.  Strong in intellect and body alike.<\/p>\n

A great misfortune for all of humanity would have occurred if great artists like Rodin and Michelangelo would have had adult service agreements imposed on them.<\/h3>\n

I really think that humanity would have lost the measuring rod such sculptures represent that influence mankind to attempt to measure up to the physical excellence represented by the sculpture.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the Rodin sculpture again.  Rodin sculpted the male figure with a sturdy chest.  Without any traces of a sagging beer gut. Its arms are powerful while the legs are muscular yet not overly thick. As to the female, her waist is slender, her breasts ample and firm but not overly large. Her backside is trim and well proportioned. Her legs are firm and nicely tapered. She is built the way women God wanted women to look.<\/p>\n

And if you don\u2019t believe me just use Google.  And see what you can dig up on paintings, frescoes and sculptures of Spartan women. Spartan women were not fat. They were wonderfully slender and beautiful.<\/h3>\n

Now one can say, as I already have that a Rodin captured men and women in an idealized state in his sculptures.  And that in the real world men and women don\u2019t really exist.   But the artwork still survives that suggests otherwise in Sparta.<\/p>\n

What we are stuck with today is the Gunny Sack example, and as long as we are stuck with adult service agreements and strip club closures for their not measuring up to the ill conceived standards of those who wish to hide the human body, we will have lost sight of the beauty of the human form.<\/h3>\n

More than ever, we need more nudity, not less of it while recognizing the true genius of photographers such as Bob, who are the real artists of their time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \\\"Welcome to the Fun House\\\".

clubs preparing his material. Soon after its publication he started up his alphapro web site and took the plunge into digital photography while when it was in its infancy. He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \"Welcome to the Fun House\". Within a month after publishing \"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \"Death on the Wild Side\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely revamped front and back covers.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.alphapro.com"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2dfXw-2m","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":136,"url":"http:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/2013\/04\/04\/photographing-naked-women\/","url_meta":{"origin":146,"position":0},"title":"Photographing naked women–When is enough, enough?","author":"Jack Corbett","date":"April 4, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Ideally photographing naked women can be pure art.\u00a0 As much as a Rodin sculpting the perfect body of a nude goddess.\u00a0 But where should such nudity end?
