When Artsy Becomes Fartsy

Sometimes pornographers just try too damn hard. Like why do we need the addition of the still life bowl of fruit in this shot?


Is it to draw some tactile impression of peaches -- other than her proffered bum? Or am I supposed to be impressed by the number (& size) of bananas? Maybe it's just supposed to suggest this is classy, not trashy. Whatever it is, it's not working for me.

I've often wondered how they chose props for those. That looks like those 1970's shoots that were called Swedish Erotica; though I never knew if they were shot in Sweden, or even Europe for that matter. That site has many other shoots that look similar though, with unusual props that look more like they were used for a furniture advertisement or a piece for Better Homes & Gardens. Maybe the photographer combined two different sessions in one locale - probably not though. The woman having her butt rubbed looks more interested in that fruit bowl than anything else though.

All Mark Wank wanted to do was take pictures of fruit but the low quality of his over sex friends meant that every time he took out his camera, people would get naked. He's trying to capture the inherent ripeness of the peach and some tart is stuffing her ass in the shot. Poor Mark had to sell his ruined photos to pornographers just to afford to buy more film. Instead of becoming famous for his unique love of fruit, Wank's name is forever associated with trashy porn.
