Some Crass Photographs
Someone asked if erotica photographers were afraid to take a picture with a girl with her legs spread:
JM Darling St. Lucie River, Fl 2009
Kenn Lichtenwalter Brooklyn, NY 2009
George Pitts Manhattan, NY 2010

Was there some meeting of erotica photographers where they decided that they would never take a picture of a woman with her legs splayed out?
Is that considered crass? Do you consider that sort of photograph crass?
The question is interesting to me, as I don’t think I’ve shot with a photographer who didn’t shoot at least some of these photographs. I...

George Pitts
I should start by saying, that the past three photographers I’ve worked with have asked me what its like to work with George. He seems to have maintained something of an air of mystery to people, or maybe its just that he looks so cool in his portraits.
They all want to know if he really wears a tie to his shoots. The answer is, yes, yes he does. And that’s awesome.
To answer the...
Kenn Lichtenwalter
I shot with Kenn Lichtenwalter recently. He was a staid and polite gentleman. He didn’t talk or direct very much. We shot around my flat in Brooklyn then went out into the street to an abandoned stairwell he knew of while JM Darling looked out for passersby. At one point he stopped, looked up at me from where he was shooting and said “This is fucking wild, Sovereign.”
I like...
Nathan Appel
I shot with Nathan Appel yesterday. We’d been talking about getting together for awhile and circumstances put us in the same town for a minute, so we decided to meet up and make something happen.
I got a tour of his central coast town and we sat down at a conglomerate coffee house to have a little chat about what we might like to do.
He was feeling a little under the weather, which...

What are your measurements?
Which ones?
My IQ is 134.
I can’t remember what I got on my SATs, but it was painfully unexceptional.
I graduated highschool with a D average.
When I go to Victoria’s Secret I order the 34D.
When I buy jeans I look for the size 9.
The tag on my underwear says 6.
The Vans I’m wearing are 8 1/2.
If you want to buy...

which female models to you want to do G/G with?
Dors Feline and Alexandra of Godsgirls.com, and Jessie Lee and Asphyxiah of Burning Angel are on the top of that list. There are a lot of girls I’d love to pose with, but if we’re talking about ardour, then these ladies are on the top of the list.
Also; if I got to do something with Darenzia, Dita Von Teese, or...

what’s more powerful?
lust
or
love
I think of them as being two points on a circle, like masturbation and sex…they kind of beget each other, like the ourboros. So I guess what you’re asking is, is the head or the tail more powerful.

you work with jm darling alot-is he as sexy as they make him out to be?
He’s tall, dark, handsome, speaks six languages, has traveled to sixty countries, and is full of masculine grace.
Our friendship precludes me from being too ardent in my answer, but I’ve managed to talk him into posing for my camera a few times. Some of those pictures are on this blog. You...

if you were deeply in love with someone, could you remain committed to them or does your free spirit override monogamy?
I’m not sure that commitment and monogamy are mutually exclusive. My first impulse is to say that monogamy seems unnatural. I mean nearly anyone that’s been involved in scandal, has been involved in some form of adultery, which leads me to...

Are you a lesbian?
I’m unpredictable…or incredibly predictable, depending on how cynical you are.

So you seem to be working through many of the respected erotic photographers: what are some commonalities they (or we) share?
The commonalities you all share is that you have cameras, and you take pictures. I’m more struck by differences. George Pitts will share ten emails with me before a shoot arranging costumes, hair, makeup etc. He asked me once if I thought I would ever have...

@jmdarling directed me in a small film for a gallery showing in NYC a few months ago and its posted on the front page at the site on the above link. You should click through and watch it. I’d almost forgotten it. It went over quite well at the show from what Mr. Darling told me. Warning: This is VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
Enjoy.

I missed this while in Belize, but photographer George Pitts took my picture back in November and posted it recently on flngs.com.
You all should go check it out.
I worked with him again last night. It was pretty amazing and epic. I can’t wait to see them and post them for you.
