Hands up who doesn't love blowjobs?

Ok. Let me paraphrase that. Hands up any men who doesn't love blowjobs?  Yeah, I thought so! Hold that thought.

On one of my first erotic shoots, we were chatting about the difference between porn and erotica. The model was quite adamant: Black and white tends to be erotica whereas colour tends to be porn. I don't quite agree that it is that, ahem, black and white. But there's more than a grain of truth to it:

At a recent shoot with the gorgeous Curvy Goddess, I wanted to experiment with dramatic, hard light and more explicit images. The model's home studio is maybe 12' x 8' with a black fabric backdrop wall-mounted on the long wall. I've never tried shooting bodyscapes in a room that size, and there was no way I could find space for my studio flash with a 6' strip box. But there was room for a bare speedlight while still maintaining enough separation between model and background to avoid spill onto the background, and still having ample space.

Here's one of the shots from our practice run:

So what does that have to do with the blowjob question at the beginning of this blog post, I hear you ask. Well, I did label the blogpost "practice" ;-)
