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.

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

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

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 🤷‍♂️

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

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

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?'

Real strict at your Nunnery, huh?

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.

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

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

finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d (1 reply)

You're the one came up with the idea.

Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1d

I didn’t invent scrolling in public.
