One of the Pornstars group members with the most prolific record is without a doubt the very intriguing
Aria Horan. If you don't follow her flickr yet, you are in for a real treat...and a trip into the sexual side of SL like no other.
The sheer amount of pictures in her stream is overwhelming. You will find there, as you can see scrolling the post, plenty rough and hot 'action' shoots, but Aria loves also to play with a raking light and portray lovely beauties. In fact, just the other day she started a
new album of her
'Shemale beauty' series after the
previous one racked up nearly 200 photos.
In fact, I am going to cover her series in the next future, but this interview she kindly gave me last month covers her approach to what she calls, as you can read now, 'combat photography'! It's the very evident passion from her sex photosets that made me learn about her and follow her on flickr.
Without further ado, here's Aria Horan and her relationship with SL photography and eroticism in her own words. Enjoy her words, and of course the photos, mixing some of Aria's favourite photosets with some stunners she did this past month !
- Your photosets have a lot of 'energy' about them: I imagine they are taken during actual 'sl sex' situations, am I wrong? When taking snapshots, do you think more about the sex, about how the photos will turn out , do the two things clash sometime?
" First of all, thanks for the compliment: I like to think my photosets have energy, and, yes, you are right, it’s all ‘combat photography’ – nothing planned, nothing staged, all on-the-fly. I did a staged shoot once and it was the most boring thing I think I have done in SL – basically being sat on a poseball and adjusted for ‘that perfect shot’. Never again. Sex should be about action, passion and fun
.
As to what I think about when having sex and taking photos? Hmmm. I carry a DSLR around with me virtually all the time in RL – never know when a non-sexual photo op will rear its head– so I long ago stopped consciously thinking about framing and composition, lighting, how the eye reads information, lines, rule of thirds and all that Photography 101 stuff – which more than a few people who post so-called porn in here would do well to learn (there is a difference between holiday happy snaps and *photography*) – I guess I have developed ‘eye’. I just move the camera round and shoot.
That’s another reason I call it ‘combat photography’ – there is no time for overthinking things when you are in the heat of battle. Or in heat. So I am thinking about the sex, the camera thing kind of takes care of itself. That said, I am usually not in control of the menu so I have to play it by ear. Or eye
I also studied film years back and try to incorporate a few basic principles from that in my work as I like to try and provide at least some semblance of a narrative: using establishing shots to provide some location information and after that get close into the action - you can fill in background detail with the closer-in shots. No-one wants to watch porn like you are looking through the wrong end of a telescope. Or do they?"
