Just had to chime in with yet another endorsement for the production crew of AbbyWinters videos. Of course the models are genuine, lovely people, the mood is relaxed, the heat is genuine but it all has to come together - and it can't all 'happen in post'. (As in, "We'll fix that in post-production").
The microphones,, the quality photographic equipment, the camera placements, the lighting, the room dressing, the clever and creative premises for getting the folks undressed and into sexy-mode - they all have to be right at the time the camera rolls or you end up with what happens to so many similar efforts - it falls flat, the model does not connect with anything or anyone, you can't hear what's going on, the lighting and color balance are wrong to the point of ruination with green or purple skin tones, and the vibrancy of cardboard in a dumpster.
The folks who setup and shoot the AbbyWinters videos (and photo sessions) have all gotten considerably better at their chores in the past year. These folks know what they are doing and bring out the very best of the subject model - to everyone's advantage.
To my eyeballs - there appear to be four main schools of erotic photography: 1) The "Me-Too" team - where they try and determine "What's Hot" and just do more of the same (as in "Monkey-see Monkey-Do") with no thought given to what actually makes a video 'hot' - and consequently, miss the mark in much the same way a smile doesn't register as a genuine smile if the eyes are not smiling along with the mouth.
2) The "What I Like Is What's Good" guy - Here we see the same video blocking and script being shot over and over again - regardless of who is in front of the camera - the guy is basically making the videos for himself. The model is pretty much just a prop in this guy's fantasy. Here we see my LEAST FAVORITE shot - because all sense of the model as a human is lost to the hyper-focus on the genitals - and as a consequence - what seems like acres of featureless inner-thigh, save the sight of bruises, acne, warts and pimples. Because of copyright problems, I had to search thru AbbyWinters video to find this frame - my point is that there are videos where they hold the camera on this shot for minutes at a time - and you have to ask yourself, "What am I looking at?"
BELOW: Example of World's Least Erotic Camera Angle
3) The "Technical Excellence Will Make This Fabulously Erotic" - with hollywood-worthy make-up, dramatic and exotic lighting, bizarre camera angles and lens treatments where the end result might as well be the world's most gorgeous toaster-oven - because all notions of any sexuality have been trampled and eliminated by way of the over-riding attention to the technical details.
4) The "Last Week I couldn't SPELL 'pornographer' - This Week I ARE One!" Noobie gets the idea to buy a camera - find women willing to go in a room and be paid to let guys 'do-stuff' to them - roll the camera and make a ton of money in the high-paying, fast-growing, dynamic world of XXX films. There is a tremendous amount of material from these vidiots who could make Scarlott Johannson look like a total schlubb.
So - when AbbyWinters consistently brings videos with vitality, good production values, real sharing of sexual energy and lots of creative spark, you have to admit that's quite an accomplishment.
