Abstract
Pornography and erotica have a long history in society. According to anecdotal evidence, erotic photography has been gaining popularity in recent years (Latimer, Mommy’s been very, very naughty, 2007). In order to gain a fuller understanding of erotic photography and the type of clients that participate in erotic photo shoots, qualitative interviews were conducted with eleven photographers who specialize in erotic photography. A descriptive analysis of the typical erotic photo shoot was conducted, as well as a thematic analysis of the role of the photographer. Four main themes were identified including the changing nature of erotic photos, the relationship between the photographer and the client, the erotic photo shoot experience, and motivations. Interviewing the individuals who are actively involved with the production of erotic photography provides a unique opportunity to learn more about how this type of photography and how it can be seen as a reflection of the changing nature of sexuality in our society.
