Foot Fetish?

Viv’s little feets.

Over the years of shooting boudoir photography (especially in relation to my Patreon), I’ve had LOTS of guys ask me more specifically for feet shots. I’ve also had a lot of guys assume that I have a foot fetish. I’ve even had guys send me very explicit photos of sexual acts with their partners feet (they must have been thinking; one of us! One of us!). So today I thought I’d delve a little deeper into the subject.

I’ve always been more into a natural look with my photography. Natural light, backlit shots and minimal photo editing. Part of achieving a more natural look has been to capture more of a “girlfriend experience” (GFE) vibe; lots of eye contact and big smiles as opposed to a high class Escort in french lingerie, Louboutins in a bourgeois hotel kind of vibe. IE: Keeping heels off the bed works for the vibe I’m mostly going for.

But do I have a foot fetish?

I’ve recently had an Escort tell me that a foot fetish client of hers thinks I’m doing it all wrong (he loves being stepped on, so to get it right I’ve apparently got to start shooting feet from a lower perspective). But I do like to give foot massages. I think footsies under the table over a fancy dinner date is cheeky fun, but the one time an ex-partner tried to give me a footjob we just ended up cracking up and we never went there again. 100% I appreciate nice feet with natural or French nails, but I’m definitely turned off by some of the foot imagery my fans have sent me (cum on feet? NO thanks!).

End of the day I’m not opposed to a bit of fan service (so long as it’s within limits!). The models I shoot that use my content to generate an income on their OnlyFans know that the foot shots are much sought after, and the times I’ve invited my patrons to PM me shoot suggestions I’ve had requests for more feet shots. So for now, I’m more than happy to oblige!

Monday Morning Rant


#mermaidpose

I finally retire my 2014 Sony a7S and replace it with an A7IV. I also rant about a busy (and positive) week in general with 3 apartment inspections and making the move from Patreon to DeviantArt.

EDIT: Accidentally somehow cropped off the intro to this video! Apologies! I’m talking about a feature I wrote on ZEN Blog and my personal blog about Sex in Art, which was inspired by thoughts around my recent Instagram ban and Patreon suspension.

I can’t change the video out I’m afraid (YouTube would create a new URL) so I’ll just leave it as a learning lesson to perhaps start reviewing the videos I make BEFORE I upload them!).

Sony A7 IV

a74
Chunky boi!

Dropped in to digiDirect this morning in Bondi Junction Westfields (fuck I hate that place!) and picked up my new Sony A7 IV. Guy behind the counter was like woah! You not been in here since 2015!

The new A7 IV has a really nice and comfy grip (much more ergonomic that the one on my a7S). Looks like Sony did an Apple on me though, the camera came with a battery, but no charger!

New camera time?

Sony’s Real-time Eye AF feature can automatically detect and track the eyes of animals as well as humans.

Nick sent me the video I posted yesterday about how awesome the original Sony a7S is (watch the video, it’s conceptually awesome!), and it gave me some motivation to put a little love into my camera. I decided, that after all these years of use, that I was finally going to remove my scratched up lens filter which has been stuck on my camera since I bought it in 2014. At some stage I must have dropped my camera and it bent the filter ring making it impossible to screw off.

I watched a few YouTube video tutorials where people were hacking their lenses with pliers, screwdrivers, hacksaws and even band saws. I also looked at some expensive tools, but end of the day I just used brute strength to unscrew the filter and amazingly it came off! I had tried SO many times in the past, and thought about taking it in to a camera shop to take it off SO many times (I’m SO lazy!), but last night, it just popped off!

I took the opportunity to order a new filter (mainly to protect the lens), and I was left feeling pretty excited about potentially taking much sharper and clearer shots now that my scratched up filter is no more.

Thing is, after watching the video Nick shared with me, the YouTube algorithm served up a few reviews of the much newer Sony A7III and A7C cameras, and the few videos I watched went to town with showing off how amazing eye tracking technology is on these cameras. I shoot locked in at 1.4, and I very often miss focus on eyes, so what I do to compensate for this (once I find a shot I like) is take a few shots “just in case” some of them miss focus. Buying any of these new cameras with eye tracking would absolutely be a game changer for me in nailing the shots I’m after with much more confidence.

So I started looking at the A7III and the A7C (same camera but smaller). I posted this up on Facebook and immediately got comments suggesting the A7IV. I’m no gear head (I usually only replace things when they break), and had no idea the A7IV even existed! Turns out it’s the perfect camera for me. Insane real-time eye auto focusing, faster, more durable design and longer battery life. At $3.5K it sure isn’t cheap, but my trusty 35mm Zeiss will screw right on and all in all I think it’ll be a great investment for me.

Why you SHOULD buy the Original Sony A7s in 2045

I’ve been shooting exclusively with an original Sony a7S ever since I bought it in 2014. This video from the future suggests it’s going to last me many more years!

Warm welcome to DeviantArt

You know what’s fucking awesome? Getting a personal email from the Marketing Manager and Head of Artist Relations at DeviantArt to tell me:

“Hi Justin. I’m sorry to hear that both Instagram and Patreon have been giving you issues. Your content is welcome on DeviantArt. If you have any issues with anything, feel free to reach out.”

Hallelujah!

Patreon unsuspended my account

After deleting hundreds of photos and impatiently waiting for a response from Patreon I finally (and quite surprisingly) got my account unsuspended.

Whilst the community guidelines are quite blurry on Patreon (understatement as full nudity is allowed), what I cannot and will not post on Patreon from now on are photos where any part of the genitals are in the shot. This means a lot of my point of view (POV) style photos, as well as just straight out nudes from more interesting angles are a no go.

That said, if you do want to see the more erotic and graphic shots, you can find them on my new DeviantArt account.

Sex in Art

With Instagram recently deleting my account due to nudity, and Patreon suspending my account due to posting what they consider pornography, I’ve had time to reflect on what got me here.

When I was a prepubescent boy Dad had a Playboy book of Vargas girls on the bookshelf (I still have this book on my bookshelf today). It features an amazing collection of watercolour and airbrush pin-up girls by Peruvian-American Artist Alberto Vargas. I also had a book of sci-fi art by Chris Foss (I also still have this book on my bookshelf today) that had one single erotic piece in it.

Throughout my teens my mother was a fashion designer and I had stacks of Italian VOGUE magazines at my disposal. I’d rip out pages of photos of nude supermodels taken by some of the greats of fashion photography and plaster them all over my walls and ceilings. Photos of Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington taken by Photographers Herb Ritts, Rankin, Helmut Newton, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino.

In high school I lined up to meet Elle Macpherson (I was obsessed with her!) and I painted a series of oil paintings of fashion models for my year 12 major artwork. At the same time, or even earlier, I was also fascinated by sex in art.

Hajime Sorayama’s Sexy Robot series.

At book shops I’d always make a bee line to the art section where I discovered the amazing surreal art of Salvador Dali, the erotic ALIEN artwork of H.R. Giger and Hajime Sorayama’s sexy robot girls. At the time, Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction was a massive influence on my life and the album featured a controversial “robot rape” artwork by Artist Robert Williams on the inner sleeve (they sold over 30 million copies, but the artwork was banned at some point).

Painted in 1978, this piece by Artist Robert Williams was titled “Appetite for Destruction” well before the band discovered it.

From 2006-2009 I actually ran a very successful website with my then partner called “Sex in Art” where we featured erotic art for many years. Sadly it was hacked at some point, and I failed to get it back online (it still upsets me to this day). You can still view it with Wayback Machine though. Click here to check it out.

As a young professional Graphic Designer I was inspired by the work of Photographer Terry Richardson (I lived next door to a Sisley store in Darlinghurst, and they had massive prints of model Josie Maran squirting cow juice on her face in the window which I would pass every day) and also the Photography of Natacha Merritt (who I would eventually meet in real life in Melbourne where she was a speaker at the 2002 AGIdeas conference. I also interviewed her for ZEN Garage blog in 2012).

It’s been a fun trip down memory lane, and I now more clearly understand how I’ve developed some of my photographic style.
