A workshop presented by the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture Workshop: Real Sex in Front of a Camera?
A demonstration photo shoot and lecture in celebration of the Seattle Erotic Art Festival.
What are the emotional and artistic dynamics involved in trying to capture something honest and intimate about sex on film? How does a photographer help people feel free to reveal the emotional subtleties of their sexual connection to him and to the outside world? Is it possible for a couple to engage in honest sex during a photo session? What can a photograph show about the intimate aspects of sex to people who don’t witness that sex in person?
Since 1999, David Steinberg has photographed over 160 couples of varying ages, body types, ethnicities, sexual preferences, and sexual orientations with these questions in mind. He will talk about how he works with couples to help them feel comfortable, natural, respected, and safe, and then conduct a demonstration shoot where participants will be able to observe how all the theory comes out in practice, and ask questions afterwards. The models, whom he’s worked with previously, will also talk about their experience of being photographed, and what was important to them in terms of being able to enjoy having sex spontaneously in front of the camera.
David is a 2012 Master of Erotic Art.
When: 1PM to 3PM
Cost at the door: $35.
