Top Ten Tips For Photographing A Cock
Before I write this, I must stress that I am not a professional photographer, I am only an amateur snapper...BUT I am a creative discerning woman and a keen observer of photographed cocks. May I, at this point, remind you boys that if you post your cock publicly you should have the grace to accept that either gender may see it and accept all praise graciously.
I would like to thanks the boys in the [info]show_your_cock community, along with some private contributors, for providing me with the inspiration to compile:

Scarletdemon's Top Ten Tips For Photographing A Cock

1) Hygiene. This may seem obvious, after all who would be stupid enough to post pictures of a smeggy cock, right? But it is important to make sure that any HANDS in the picture are clean too. No matter how magnificent your rigid todger may be, if the hand you are holding it in has dirty finger-nails, that is all I am going to see...and I won't be inspired to let any part of you near any orifice of mine, thank-you very much. Likewise any clothing shown should be clean, which leads me to...

2) Undies. If you are posting a picture of your erect member, the chances are you want people to think of it in a sexual context. Creating an erotic mood in which to show off your cock is much enhanced by a good choice of underwear. Black, grey or white undies create a subtle backdrop that looks relaxed and not distracting. Calvins add a touch of class. However, those orange and brown paisley nylon Y-Fronts that your Nan got you for Christmas are messing with my eyes and camouflaging your dong. Be sensible.

3) Foreshortening. The nearer to the camera something is (head on) the bigger it looks. Nuff said.

4) Two Hands. If you can pull this off (no pun intended) it IS impressive. I saw a picture of a guy with BOTH hands clasped one on top of the other round his cock, with the head poking out at the top. Nice. On the other hand I have seen guys grabbing their more modest offerings between thumb and forefinger and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g them to make them look longer. Ouch. Relax guys, if you're not happy with reality, put it away.

5) Background / Location. I suppose if you are posting pictures of your cock, there is a fair possibility that you are living alone. Let me add a woman's touch to your pictures right here and now...Try to present a tidy background to your pictures. Don't have piles of dirty plates, empty beer cans, washing drying on the radiator, or your visiting blind Grandmother, in the back-ground of your cock pictures. It's a turn-off. One man I saw held his nudger in front of a giant Yucca plant, which was quite artistic...but all I could think about was how he grew such a magnificent...plant.

6) Cum Shots. Always nice to see a happy ending. Cum dribbling down your fingers is cute...but the disturbing picture I saw of a guy's cum all over his OWN FACE was just...well yeah, disturbing.

7) Sequencing / Drama. Extra brownie points to the guys who produce a sequence of pictures, starting with unzipped jeans and ending with a celebration of their "white wee-wee". Always good to see someone working with a purpose, attending to detail and applying themselves to the task in hand.

8) Shaving. Whatever. personally I like men to look post-pubescent if they are showing me their cock. If you ARE going to shave don't do it ten minutes before you start taking pictures it looks really "Ow!" and not at all sexy.

9) Variations On A Theme. Wet from the shower, in black and white, sporting the odd piercing, tattooed, tied up with a ribbon...Most of us appreciate a little effort to present a man's pork-sword in a creative and imaginative way. Indulge us.

10) Shadows. I have saved the best 'til last. Guys SHADOWS are your friend. An engorged wang casting an imposing shadow across a guys body or wall is breathtaking. I'd advise anyone to go for this effect in at least one picture. A word of warning though, if you are photographing outside give midday a miss...the shadow will be practically non-existent and you'll get a sun-burnt knob.

Have I forgotten anything?

You called yourself an "amateur snapper"...

Good tips for the boys in the field, BTW.

Does the word obsession mean anything to you? I blame the three large babies you have ejected for your need to examine penises in this way. Perhaps you could create some kind of rating system and give points out of ten for lenght, girth and dirty washing in shot, therefore finding THE ULTIMATE COCK SHOT OF ALL TIME.

I prefer a nice arse myself. Or a cup of tea.

More than one boy multiplies the end value of the shoot. Multiple boys equals multiple goodness. They don't even have to be touching . . . just in the same room or the same shot.

You should check out suicideboys.com if [info]show_your_cock is such a hit. It costs money, but the content is unrivaled.

Um, no, I think that was a pretty comprehensive list. I am thankful that certain shots are fairly impossible to obtain. I won't share the mental imagery that goes with that grateful thought.

I saw the cum on his face guy. Blech.

I think I must be a cock-snob, because I can't go to communities like show your cock, because I can't stand all the ugly ones or the hairy beast men.

Once I have finished:

1) building my computer (read upcoming post)
2) getting said computer up and running
2) building my bar
3) installing my home theatre
4) working on that "world peace" thing

Then when I have 5 minutes where I am not running my tail off or sleeping I *will* take some pics. ;P

Both insightful and hilarious: Thanks for that! And the tip on gender issues is something a few guys definitely need to hear.

Personally, I like grungy fingernails and trashy guy stuff like empty beer cans lying around, but I love your post even more.

And reading the word "pork-sword" here was one of my favourite LJ moments in a long time!

;-)

Cheers!

Hmm, my favourite tip would be to get a beautiful woman to body paint your cock for you (and your chest and belly for good measure), and then for you to pose naked with her and two other beautiful and scantily clad women, one of whom is sticking her tongue longingly towards your ear...



Be warned, in such conditions it is impossible to avoid getting an erection!!!
