selling naked

who's to say, that someone wont pay money to see great photos clothed or naked. perhaps, the value in the photos on the internet, would be the option to look at them full size and regular web size as well as thumbnail size. this would and does make it a more adventurous experience. I think people like to look at details, and this fits the model of reciprocity or an exchange of value. I would make good, large works of art, and offer as much quantity as i can, without skimping on quality at all, ever. how often do you see a full sized image available online? I see them sometimes on Deviantart, not many other places. it would be easy to charge money for a view and download of the larger files, and encourage the printing of them as long as the logo was intact, with website url.

i am all for erotic quality in my future works. its only one layer of interest in art, but an important one, to all of us i think, and at times controversial, but i think it belongs in my work somewhere. I think its rare and precious and a high calling to produce great art that has the erotic quality in it.

I've always been learning, and consider myself a student of art. I want to make art, and i've been trying to nurture my path towards more expressive creations.

I think internet advertising is becoming passe for the true artist. it doenst blend well any more, not for me anyways. there are more organic and respectable, while effective, ways to make your art accessible. One is word of mouth and being social. i believe in business cards, beer, bars, and travel for networking. i believe sometimes in collaborations which stir up colliding audiences.

i believe in multi media art as well. this just opens up a whole rats nest of possibility and people eat this up. its just hard to do and takes discipline and structure.

i'm tired of being in the service industry where i have to depend on models who cancel shoots to pay my rent.

i dream of art, creation, freedom, ability to move about and publish my work, and to get paid for some of it and be appreciated for making things that i am proud of, etc. the whole picture, but mostly i want to make art. i wanna make movies. short ones i suppose. funny mostly. i wanna make comedy. i wanna make all my impusive rants that i have with my friends come to life.

i'm not sure one can truly make a living selling naked pictures.

Three Innovative Photos

I have a couple of images i wanted to share that show what i'm playing around with lately. i'm poor... and i do all i can with what I have... its called being efficient, and somewhat neurotic, idealistic, lazy.

This pic was from experimentation with strobes. See a site on this - strobist.com

[100 iso, f8, 1/15 shutter, full flash @ gn74 plus a rosco filter] - I placed my flash inside this table and took a time delayed shot of myself with the flash triggered. I put a green gel on the filter. The effect looks kind of futuristic to me. If not futuristic, it looks like im being visited by aliens from a planet with very nice light diffusion techniques.

I have another photo I'd like to show as well.
This one was done with another lighting technique known as light painting.
The picture was taken at night with a long shutter speed and a moving flashlight was used to illuminate the subject at close range. (35mm camera)

I placed the negative in an 8x loop and in front of my flash. I placed a piece of white paper behind the flash to bound a large white area of light towards me, and then placed a piece of white paper between myself and the flash, and put the digital camera lens up to the 8x magnifying loop and negative and autofocused, and took a flash photo.

I am looking forward to doing more photography of this nature in the near future. Perhaps I'll take advantage of the snow at night to give me more reflecting surfaces to play light painter with.

I want to carry around a flash and leave my camera on a tripod in the open shutter mode while i go around flashing various color filtered flashes all over the forest. It will look as tho the entire forest was lit up like a fantasy land. The ground, the trees, and whatever i find... maybe even the water and a person.

The last picture makes use of a shoot through white umbrella. The umbrella was below me with the convex outside facing up towards my face. I put a tungsten light under it in a special adapter bracket/arm that attaches to the umbrella shaft... and put a shoe mount flash to the right of the camera on a light stand with a home made snoot that controls the light a little and makes a shadowy frame around the subject. I had to try a few times with the digital to ballance the ambient tungsten make-shift soft box with the flash. i ended up ballancing the white for tungsten and allowing the flash to appear blueish like a window light in this one. If this were a film camera, I would have had to use a blue color corection filter over the lens since the film would have probably been ballanced for sunlight.
