Jaques Biederer was the first photographer in history to specialize in erotic photos. This photo was taken in Paris in 1928. : interestingasfuck

Get yourself a man who looks at you like Jaques Biederer looks at genitals

It actually goes further back to 1830s and Dagguerotypes: https://www.all-about-photo.com/photography-article/607/a-brief-history-of-nude-photography-1839-1939

He was definitely not the first photographer to specialise in that. Photographic pornography was invented basically the same time as photography was.

Do vs specialise maybe.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There was porno on freaking cave paintings.

Looks like he enjoys his job....

But who's taking that photo.

The first photographer in history to specialize in photographing a pornographer.

Studio Biederer was managed along with his brother, they produced some work that still looks very.... contemporary. Specially their bdsm shots.

Here's an archive of their work.

Reminds me of modern social media pictures in two ways...

One, someone is taking a photo of someone taking a photo

Two, he's done some trick photography so he can play both people in the photo

Bet he saw some fuzzy beavers.

Nsfw this please

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 17 points 2 weeks ago

Realistically, you shouldn't be looking at this site at work at all.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

Come up with a widely recognized abbreviation for ‘flag this so it’s blurred for people browsing their phone in public’ if it bothers you 🤷‍♂️

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social -3 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe you should take it as a sign that you should read actual books?

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Because I’m on my phone (which has accessibility features to keep me from getting motion sickness) on the bus instead of reading a book? Weird conclusion to jump to

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

ebooks are a thing.

You know, reading text, not unlike this, except it's an entire book.

Or a short story. Have you ever read 'The Tower of the Elephant?'

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Real strict at your Nunnery, huh?

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago

Some of us go outside and don’t want to be flashing what OP described as erotica at whatever children are looking over our shoulders.

[-] ctrl_alt_esc@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

OP didn't describe the picture as erotica. That's a picture of the dude taking those erotic pics.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 weeks ago

Wanting people to unintentionally flash this photo to kids in public is fucking weird.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You're the one came up with the idea.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago

I didn’t invent scrolling in public.
