Turn offs in pictures

[Next Gen]

When you can clearly see a light stand in the background of the shot.
(I work in video production so carelessness like that is huge pet peeve of mine.)

& sorry Next Gen, but the shoddier the better for me (& I'm from the audio/video/film/radio/tv/broadcast industry too), ... but something authentic, something that's "felt", "from the heart" etc.

I love a light stand, love a camera being knocked onto it's side in the heat of passion, love giggling when they realise they've fucked it up etc etc... passion & proper sex, including the funny bits, fanny-farts n'all ('queefs' in the US...? ... or is that just South Park?!), beats plastic boobs & flawless lighting for me every time. There's no bigger turn off than a woman who takes herself too seriously!

... I should probably just clarify there: I don't find fanny-farts sexy in the slightest, just to say that I find a woman who can't laugh when everything goes wrong deeply unsexy...

... ergo, what I suppose I'm saying is: laughing = sexy; pouting & posing = unsexy.

If we exclude some extreme fetish things (« scatt pissing »…etc) to focus/concentrate onto classic EROTIC photographie ; the most important things have been highlighted in relation to girl’s look (Fake breast, tattoes are ugly).

But to me a Beautiful NATURAL model is not enough to make the JOB: Make her look SEXY and have her POSING PROPERLY. From my point of view there are indeed two other missing factors threatening softcore erotic photographie nowadays:

- Unstylish / unsexy clothing/lingerie (sophisticated / modern / extreme / gross / casual) … see the dawn of shorties, boy shorts, low rise thong at the expense of real classic string thong…)
- Action scenes, gymnastic poses, transition shots (girls in the way of doing something)… at the expense of proper sexy pose… (poor photographie shots).

I think that the problem/question should actually be transfer to galleries or photosets rather than to a single photograph as it is the final end product we wanna watch… which bring us back to scenario and the debate of ACTION into photographie. The STRIP sequence (PURE NUDE is to be banned as it is not GLAM) into photosets brings two kind of risks: making foul taste mistake regarding the outfit and falling into ACTION, hardcore oriented shots as the model strips down (“Glamcore”)…

Most do not understand that the action (strip story) is therefore represented through the serie of photos and not into individual images, highlighting the female body’s attribute with a natural pose (softcore). Photographie = pose = softcore, it requires technical, artistic and erotic skills/senses…

Tattoos are pointless and ugly for me: a clear #1 turn off.

For me piercings are the number 1 turn off, i even dislike regular jewelry (and metals in general), so you can imagine how intensemy hate for piercings of any kind is...

I've never much cared for women spreading their pussy lips as far apart from each other as they can while posing for the camera, like, to the point where it looks painful for the woman.

I enjoy looking at pics of women fingering their pussies, but those typical "pulling two pieces of lunch meat apart" pics just don't appeal to me.

So many women I'd like if they didn't have tattoo's. There are a few so hot that have a couple of tattoo's that I'll watch them anyway, but it's usually very difficult. And the more visible the tattoo's are, the worse it is for me. It's like spray painting a beautiful piece of art.

turn offs? that's easy I don't want to see any dick, I come here for the soft core-girl stuff

smoking is an absolute turn off no matter what in life. I find is visually disgusting as well as the smell. So a woman smoking in a nude shoot is just plain trash in my opinion. Gross.
