Shooting "Looking Back"

I have started to look back at my work as I press into something new. I look back and smile. And I wish to bring some of the ideas about these shoots to people who care to listen. I love this it was after a very long day of shooting, just pure smut for profit... I shoot work in groups of 5 to 10 models do all the photo shopping and such and then sell them. This was really at an end of one of those work benders that pull out bout 40 or so sets. I was shooting solid for about two weeks, for many people that is a dream naked women stretched out pulling their clothes open and giving you their sexiest... But for me it can be painful. Every shoot is a love affair between my models and my camera, but for me to do my job well I must feel in my heart that love is for me. And so at the end of every shoot when the door closes is a small broken heart. I think my work is about love and beauty: forming a lust that is built out of that and not just pure sex something more emotional and deep. Something that hurts when it is gone even if it is all just fake and in your head. But this shoot was nice I wanted something more fashiony and fun, something sexy but not trashy. We spoke as I shot... I tend to talk a lot not sure why I talk better to people I don’t really know than those I do. Sometimes shooting is more like seeing a shrink. We talked about love, sex, and emotion in ways and a depth that few couples could ever speak and we did not even know each other before this day. I guess at times that is the amazing thing about what I do it allows you to be so real, everything is already out on the table why not tell the truth, the way we feel about the world, our selves, the things we really care about... We spoke with such truth and honesty... And then like that she was gone never to speak again. And this is the way that my days roll by... It has moments that are so great and it has dark moments that you know how alone you really are.
