Sunday, June 4 -- REAL SEX IN FRONT OF A CAMERA? A DEMONSTRATION
PHOTO SHOOT with David Steinberg

What are the emotional and artistic dynamics involved in trying to
capture something honest and intimate about sex on film? How does a
photographer help people feel free to reveal the emotional subtleties
of their sexual connection to him and to the outside world? Is it
possible for a couple to engage in honest sex during a photo session?
What can a photograph show about the intimate aspects of sex to
people who don't witness that sex in person? Since 1999, David
Steinberg has photographed over 100 couples with these questions in
mind. He will talk about how he works with couples to help them feel
comfortable, natural, respected, and safe, and then conduct a
demonstration shoot where participants will be able to observe how
all the theory comes out in practice.

Steinberg has been photographing couples having sex as well the
transgender women of Divas since 1997. In addition to his
photography, David Steinberg writes extensively about the culture and
politics of sex and gender issues. His Comes Naturally column, now in
its 15th year, is distributed online to over 3000 subscribers
worldwide. His books include Photo Sex: Fine Art Sexual Photography
Comes of Age; Erotic by Nature: A Celebration of Life, of Love, and
of Our Wonderful Bodies; and The Erotic Impulse: Honoring the Sensual
Self.
