Macro photography and bodyscapes

I like macro photography. Always did. When I was poorer and digital photography was a rich man's hobby I had an old Canon camera and used an inversed nifty-fifty and some expansion rings to try to capture those wonderful pics of bugs. You know, the ones where the compound eyes are in full focus (well, at least part of them) and that bee or butterfly fill the picture. I was spending hours on my knees in the field and bring back maybe two good pics (not really the kind to publish in National Geographic however).

A bit later on I bought my first digital camera (a Canon Digital Rebel, if anyone remembers them) and after some time I invested more than three-months worth of my scholarship into a 100 mm macro lens. That was wow! Not yet to National Geographic standards but no longer far from them either.

After this intro, it may come as a surprise for you that this topic is about dick pics and why I don't like to receive them.

What spoiled macro photography for me was that I once took a macro pic of one of my nipples. You have often seen them, there is nothing special about them, they are quite banal, pink, of average size, they contract and relax normally... Yet, in a macro picture they look awful. Like a cancer. Really, really disgusting. Little innocent insects look like aliens in macro photography, but there is something majestic about them, scary but powerful and impressive. A macro of a simple nipple looks awful. And I guess macro photography of any of our body parts will be terribly ugly.

Ok, dick pics do not really qualify as macro photography, but rather as what is often called bodyscape. Pics of body parts. And I do bodyscape, as a model and as a photographer. I published a number of them in the sister group. All female because it's a group about ladies' elegance and because... Well, they are nicer than male bodyscape pics.

Which does not mean that I like how pussies look more than how cocks look. The opposite is true. I already had C cups when I progressively lost the frustration that I was a girl and didn't have that. And on a nude beach I will look a lot more at women's bodies but a lot more at guys' genitals. A woman looks like she has a badly healed wound down there. A guy has something complex, majestic and enigmatic, with a life of its own, changing in shape, size and position.

Just to reassure any lesbian or bi member, this does not mean that I am disgusted by your genitals. The opposite is true. Let's face it, our joy box is far more efficient at giving us pleasure than guys' joysticks, majestic as they are, give to them, and we are best at touching them the right way. While my experience in sharing pleasure with ladies is more limited than with men, I am in no way against it, on the contrary.

We women are naturally more versatile sexually than men. There is a famous study where people were exposed to tender erotic images, while their skin conductivity was measured in order to gauge their level of arousal. For guys it was clear: straight guys reacted to images of sexy women, gay guys to those of sexy guys. Preciously few were actually sexually versatile. For women it was different: most reacted to a multitude of subjects, girls, boys and even birds or monkeys' love making when the image was nice. So yes, few of us are completely opposed to lesbian sex - except when culturally indoctrinated against it.

Another fine point is that yes, I do like to look at male family jewels in a nudist context but I am not aroused by them and I don't think of sex. They are just cute, nice to look at and rare to see in our daily life so yes, I do look. I need more than that to warm up to sexual feelings or thoughts. Also, of course an erect penis is nicer to look at than a flaccid one (a flaccid one is something meant for peeing, an erect one is something meant to give us pleasure) but I am not in favour of flaunting erections on the wrong beach. I often got in conflict over this with other (male and female) members. It's not the "children can see it" argument, it's just that we are social animals, and if something feels offensive for most members of a group than that something should not be done. And yes, I do know that it is natural, but so are other body functions of ours, which we don't flaunt. And yes, I do know that it can sometimes be involuntary, that's why I mentioned flaunting. Again, it's a question of context and social expectations. Having sex in public in Cap is OK (and yes, I did it too), but a simple erection may be disturbing in another context.

But coming back to bodyscape pics. Most young women can be excellent models. Put them in the right position, with either a very soft light or (better yet) with a back hard light for a contour pic, and half of your pics will be very nice to look at. Do the same with an average young guy and the result will be different. I did try it with my male models and honestly the results of male bodyscaping were disappointing. A guy needs to have something special to be worth the try, big visible muscles or great endowment... I only succeeded to get decent pics with a gay guy, a friend who in fact has a very tiny, thin frame, has visible abs and, compared to his size, he is extremely big.

I also did erotica and pornart. Real or simulated sex acts. Couples and sometimes trios have posed for me while taking directions from me and having or simulating sex. And the result? The easiest to shoot is BJs. Blissful joy as I call them.

You see, a pic needs to transmit an emotion. And for this it needs to tell a story. The viewer needs to fill in some blanks. This is why I don't like porn (although I told the story of an old porn film with a real story and artistic images which I loved): just seeing for minutes in a row a cock pumping in a pussy on a background of fake miauling is not for me. Of course, we are not all the same. I have a girlfriend who likes the opposite, close up sex images and refuses to join me at German spas because she gets so aroused by all those exposed male bits that she is afraid she might do something stupid, like grabbing a random guy by the balls, pushing him insite the toilet and fucking his brains out. Her words. But I think she is more towards the tail of the curve.

Provocative, dominant or shy, submissive and hesitant, the face of a lady offering blissful joy to a gentleman tells a story. If you can see her eyes, so much better. You guys do like us to look into your eyes when we do that, don't you. But it can be just a close up contour pic with some lips or a tongue touching a glans and it can provoke a reaction. I uploaded a number of such pics in the sister group.

Other acts are more difficult to capture on camera in a way which conveys an emotion, tells a story. Which compliments the models. Not impossible, but it takes a lot of thinking and you will still ruin the vast majority of pics.

Now let's make a thought experiment for you guys. Suppose you have in front of you a lineup of 12 naked women whom you can admire at will. Will you look at them? I bet you will. Will you be pleased to see them? Of course. Now suppose that you have in front of you a lineup of ten pussies. Ten women with their legs spread apart and only the vulva in sight, everything else covered. Will you admire that for long? I'm sure that your answer will be yes but I am also sure that you are wrong. I believe that, past the first emotion linked to intimacy and novelty, you will get a bit bored. Sure you will examine each from close for a few seconds but after that?

We communicate with our faces first, body second, genitals last. Why are you on this site? Why are you not happy to see here pics of internet models, as beautiful and sexy as they may be? I guess it's because you find it more engaging to see someone with whom you can establish a bit of a connection. You would rather see my pics, as imperfect as they are and I am, rather than those of Miss Universe.

The same goes for me. I'd rather see a guy I know here with an erection than a dick pic from some anonymous guy. And even if I know the guy, I'd rather have a more engaging pic than just a close up of his cock. Plus, I would rather be at the asking end rather than receiving in my mailbox an unsolicited pic as a surprise. So as said. Thanks but no thanks.

Ok, this topic is getting out of hand in terms of length. So maybe about why I don't cam, no longer exchange pics and I deleted all my profile pics (while I flood you with them on TS) another time.
