Hi All,
I heard of several female directors in adult films with likes of Toni English, but they are still very rare in the porn industry, however what is even more rare is female camera women, does anyone know of any who is currently working? I had seen female photographers taking still pictures in porn but the only one I am aware of is Jane Water during the early 1990s and occasionally in the odd Gonzo films were the actress held the camera for a short period, other than that there isnt any I know of. I be very grateful if anyone knows of professional camerawomen who shoot porn.

Thanks

Just a note, Jane Waters is a man, not a woman, despite the name. At last report, he was shooting camera for Mark Zane.

highlander,

In addition to directing, Mason of Elegant Angel holds the camera for her own videos--Mason's Dirty Trixxx, and the two Lady Felatios. She also holds a second camera in Internally Yours #3 (which she codirected). I believe she also runs camera for Heavy Handfuls #2 (which was directed by William H.).

From what I hear tell, Tricia Devereaux is the camera-person for much of the behind the scenes footage for the Fashionistas, but that isn't confirmed yet--as the Fashionistas won't be available until Jan 6th.

The Buttwoman series from Elegant Angel (which has been an ongoing thing for many many years) features the main female character running the camera for a fair amount of the action also. This includes women like Tianna, Tiffany Mynx, Belladonna, and Layla Jade, among others).

You're right, though, that there aren't very many women who do that. :)

Does Constance Le do her own camera work?

Mike L.

Thanks Mike,
Maybe Tricia and the other women can add further input on this. I am very curious about female using the camera, does she shoot differently from men? More face shots perhaps, do they focus on ejaculation scene more or less, etc.

Veronica Hart does camera work for VCA on occasion, or at least was last year.

yes i shoot my own camera. i've been shooting camera for a couple of years now (under the name "angel k"), before i started directing. i was trained by one of the best in the biz, though i do still have much to learn. a lot of times, we can't tell the difference between my footage and alex's. i wouldn't say there is any female perspective behind my camerawork.

In many of Rodney Moore's videos there is a dark-haired woman behind the camera that Rodney occassionally interacts with onscreen.

Rodney has 2 long time assistants, Frannie and Steviee, who I believe do much of the camerawork.

I do all of my own camera work. I sometimes do second camera for others, but, it's very difficult to negotiate who will shoot what, and having more than myself and the talent on set completely ruins the intimacy that I strive to capture. I prefer to shoot only one camera, and I'm always behind it. I use an old Sony 900 because it gives me a raw, pseudo-documentary style that I love. I also edit everything I shoot myself. I use Media 100. I am a control freak and letting my vision go to someone else would be very difficult.

I have 2 who shoot for me, one stays strictly off camera, her name is Lisa the other is Cori Love. Cori is in fact a very good camera person, she is a natural who shoots with both eyes open and very rarely misses a shot. In one month of training she was better than any of my previous camera MEN even though one had been with me for over 5 years.

Cori is my main camera operator.

Shane used to be the second cameraperson when she wasn't appearing in the scenes in the early "Shane's World" videos (early = volumes 1-18).

Hi Mike,
Does Cori Love appears both in front of the camera and behind? I like to see films showing the camerawoman filming and then it switches to her own camera the actual scene being filmed. Is Cori a performer in adult film too?

Thanks

Hi Mason (are you male or female, sorry I am new),
About the type of camera that is use to film porn, how about how about "high definition digital video"? I believe this is a hand held piece of kit. I recently watched a Spanish art film "Sex and Lucia" and the quailty was fantastic and just beautifully detail surpassing even previous professional studio cameras, I though it would be fantastic if adult films were filmed using this new format.

Mason: both you and William H directed IY 3. Was it a power struggle or did you 2 flow cohesively?

To the person who asked: I do remember a Rodney scene from a while back where the camerawoman got in front of the camera. I don't know if it was an actress playing a camerawoman or vice versa (Rodney likes to blur reality in his vignettes), but you can email him and ask. Rodney@rodneymoore.com

I'm wondering if this was transferred to film in the final process though?One thing I've read about alot of DV is that it isn't actually dirt cheap especially if you want film quality.Of course Attack of the Clones was digital but hey,that guy has too much money!

Well "Sex and Lucia" is a Spanish movie filmed on a budget, according to behind the scene info it was a hand held camera that uses High Definition video and it had a special mention. It maybe expenisive but being hand held I doubt its anywhere near as pricey as a studio camera.

Hi Mike,
Can I ask you about films on DVDs that is shot by either Cori Love or Lisa which you would recommend. Also does any of the films shows the camerawomen doing the filming or behind the scene extras with them at work?

Thanks and Sorry for posting in Christmas morning.

Jane Waters is male.

Toni English, Mason and Veronica Hart are all female.

And yes, Mike, I did shoot 90% of the behind-the-scenes for The Fashionistas. As well as for the Christy Parks scene in Buttman's Big Butt Backdoor Babes 2.

Thanks Tricia,
I like your photo....:)
I am looking to acquire some new titles to my DVD collection that are filmed by women, I be very grateful if you can provide me with a particular title that you filmed which you are particularly proud of and recommend.
Of course to Mason and other camerawomen here, I be interested to acquire DVD titles which you had filmed and recommend.

Thanks

Hello Highlander!

As Tricia posted, Mason (me) is female. And thanks for the camera suggestion, I will certainly look into it. :)

As far as a movie, I suggest you pick up Lady Fellatio 2, "Desperately Seeking Semen." So far it's my favorite. It represents a broad spectrum of female sexuality--from the mild (pretty, cover girl types) to the wild (aggressive face fucks). It contains 13 scenes of mostly all oral (there are however 2 scenes with full sex) featuring 14 girls. If you are the more adventurous type, then hold out for Mason's Dirty Trixxx #2 (or get both!). It's a very intense, and rougher video. It might not be for you, but if you are into this type of sex, I guarantee you'll like this one.

Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me: mason@eaprod.com.

Thanks!

-Mason

Shane did a lot of camerawork on her movies with Seymore. And, to tell the truth, she did a far better job operating the camera than Seymore.

The only problem is that when she was holding the camera, she couldn't be in the scene. I taks Shane in front of the camera instead of behind it any day.

Thanks Mason and others here, I will definately checkout those titles Mason mentioned particularly her involvement in filming and editing are all done by herslf which makes it all that more appealing. Of course I will try others if anyone recommend a particular title filmed by women.
Working with cameras needs experience, some are good at directing but know less about the technical aspect of cameras and others know both, the camera operator may choose to film a certain scene or a particular style based on his/her mood at the time which may or may not appeal to an audience. I dont know if camera operators gets turned on during filming a hot scene, however I be interested to know if Mason and other camerawomen get turned on when shooting a hot scene and does it affect the way they film.

Thanks

Highlander
