List of artistic vagina shots?
A model and I plan to do erotic/arty vagina photos, and I want inspiration. For example, a while back I recall seeing photos of a model using a red necktie and lighting for such a shoot. I have been looking but cannot find a list with this category of photos. Can anyone direct me in that direction? Sep 23 19 12:35 am Link There is a rule against such lists edit and for good reason Sep 23 19 01:21 am Link I will direct you in the direction of a dictionary: if you can see someone's vagina, you'd best be a medical professional Sep 23 19 03:22 am Link Sep 23 19 03:58 am Link POTD 18+ ? idk Sep 23 19 04:07 am Link Dea and the Beast wrote: Womansplaining : Actually giving correct knowledge to the lost and uninformed. Sep 23 19 04:59 am Link Remember to warm the speculum first! I will remind you of a "Friends" episode where Rachel was talking to a gynecologist and he explained, in the terms of a woman that served coffee all day, that sometimes a waitress would go home from the coffee shop and say, "I can't stand to look at another cup of coffee today." There is contempt in repetitive familiarity. What I perceive you are trying to do is to photograph the female genital area between the mons pubis and anus, which is mostly defined on the exterior by the vulva. The vulva is comprised of the labia and the vestibule, which includes the introitus, and urethral meatus. The clitoris is at the anterior end of the vulva. I imagine your goal is to include the opening of the vagina (introits) and clitoris, in some circumstances by manipulation, in your images. It would be best if you were very creative to take on such a task. If you are going to depend on what others have done to guide your creativity, you will be unlikely to succeed in an artistic endeavor unless you are trying to appeal to only those with an unquenchable sexual interest or someone doing a study in comparative anatomy. Of course, with the internet, I suppose you could find a lucrative market of people that are obsessed with women's anatomies. I would also expect that those people would have no compunction about pirating and posting any image you make. If you are trying to avoid making porn (Pornography: printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings), though by definition, that is what you will most likely be creating, you could google the painting, "The Origins of the World" and find that this piece of fine art is still regarded as porn by much of the world. Or check into Georgia O'Keeffe, where she, even if she was painting sexual organs, was appealing to aesthetic or emotional feelings, rather than erotic stimulation. Though sometimes it is not possible to separate the erotic from aesthetic, it is easy to remove aesthetic from erotic. Otherwise, all you can do is add objects around the subject, on the subject, or in the subject and try to come up with clever titles, like by lodging a bottle of aspirin between the labia and calling it, "Honey, do you know where the aspirin is?" or some other cute title. Sep 23 19 06:05 am Link Damn Hunter, have you absolutely nothing to do? Sep 23 19 06:10 am Link Prior to addressing this thread, I sat in a swamp for an hour to photograph a Bittern. I read the Washington Post. I cooked dog food for the next two days, except I still have to go buy a sweet potato, cut and cook that for him, but I wanted to wait for traffic to die down. Later, after the employee comes in and I start him on his day's work, which he is going to really love, I have three over due projects to work on and one current project, but the problem there is the difference between 'want to do' and 'have to do.' Which explains why three are over due. I may have lunch with a friend, but probably not because it is too much effort to get into the city and we will be going to a dinner dance together on Saturday. There is also a hole I need to dig in the yard to collect rain water. It can also be used to make comparisons to other objects when people don't know the difference between something and a hole in the ground. I could map the yard, design the landscaping and stormwater control plan for a shed I want to build. Maybe I will build a garage instead. I could hook the tiller up to the tractor and till under the whole back yard and start grading before I do the design. I know what I want, do I really need to do the math first? But then there are those pesky permits. I suppose I could paint instead of work today. There are a bunch of paintings to work on and many more floating around in my head to start. I don't think I will do the aspirin bottle though. Now that I have suggested it, someone is sure to pounce on that. I could do some more bird photography this evening. I will start carving robins tonight, with my carving group, and maybe draw up some woodpeckers to start to carve on my own. I want to do the five local species of woodpeckers, life size. Or seven, if I include the Flicker and Sapsucker. Maybe it is best if I don't think to big. But we all need to have priorities and this thread was just that important to merit a response. The dog is shedding bad, so i will have to brush him and vacuum, too. Sep 23 19 07:08 am Link I know someplace that has literally thousand of such photos....it's called the internet Sep 23 19 08:48 am Link Sep 23 19 09:22 am Link Hunter GWPB wrote: That would definitely cheer me up when I am feeling poorly!

These pictures in turn will probably be in - and show - the lists you seek. Sep 23 19 12:11 pm Link Labia, vulva, uvula, vagina, volvo: I get so confused!

I said that if there were any photos he liked he could use them as a starting point for his search. Sep 23 19 07:56 pm Link Making a truly artistic interpretation of that subject is quite a challenge. When you ignore the voyeuristic sexual appeal and turn to aesthetics, you are left with a subject that resembles an open stabbing wound more than anything else. Once, when I was looking at a woman's paintings online, I came upon a very colorful abstraction and had to ask her, "Is that what I think it is?" It was. She had succeeded artistically by means of abstraction and use of a wildly polychromatic color scheme that had nothing to do with natural color. I mentioned this painting to a friend who challenged me to try my hand at it. of course part of the challenge was not to mimic what the other artist had done. I gave it a try, still using a degree of abstraction, but going more or less monochromatic. I was surprised when the friend who issued the challenge (and supplied a "selfie" for reference material) independently noticed the same thing I did: that the slightly abstracted rendering of the subject resembled the traditional iconic depiction of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Talk about ironic! Sep 23 19 10:52 pm Link I also wanted to comment on Hunter's mention of Georgia O'Keeffe. People often interpreted her large, abstract paintings of flowers as sexual (yes, I know that flowers are reproductive organs of plants). Her paintings of Jack in the pulpits, for instance, were interpreted as phallic symbols. She, however, insisted that she painted them big "so people would have to look at them," and that anything else was in other people's heads, not hers.

I have never seen any indication that she ever admitted to painting things intentionally to resemble genitalia. For someone that has female genitals on their mind. it is a place to look at flowers in a form which may, or may not, give them some ideas for the depiction of the genitalia in an aesthetic situation. However, a photographer is unlikely to succeed in this without graphic arts. It is still going to be an open leg shot most all of the time. As Liv suggested. Sep 24 19 02:06 pm Link I don't know if this was on topic, but it made me smile.

It was only when the models chose to pose this way. Most models do not pose this way. My photos were not artistic because I was not prepared.
