So I know I am in the minority but I actually think there are not enough closeups in porn.
Obviously Mike Adriano does a lot of closeup work. Any one else?

I'm not yet convinced the outspoken majority are as annoyed with closeups, as much as with closeups that linger so, for too long. As for the broad consensus of what constitutes "too long", I would presume to speculate any shot lingering 10 consecutive seconds or more within macro-distance, breeds discontent.
I've long since abandoned interest in mainstream porn for such very reasons, constricting creative license, and a stubborn grip on formulaic production.

There are many factors that play important role in a hardcore porn scene. One of them is by definition the closeup shots. And I am saying by definition, because if they weren't the proper closeup to confirm the hardcore nature of a scene, we wouldn't talk in this forum at all. We would talk in more softcore forums about movies like Emanuelle or the ones which are played in playboy channel. (For those who haven't seen any... are normal hardcore scenes carefully censored without any trace of hardcore element). Beautiful and sensual close up shots are an important element of erotic pornography and many companies who are specialized in eroticism give
I certainly don't believe you are a vast minority, prophetman. I have read many other members posts here claiming the same thing with you in many different topics. Besides, I don't believe people who like anal or vaginal gapes, others who dig POV style movies or scenes which a closeup shot is important to their ... fetish (like the ones who like furry pussies for example) would imagine a porn scene without the proper closeups. In fact I could responsively state that in all fetishes a good close up shot can make the big difference.
Whoever believes that shooting a porn closeup is easy is totally mistaken. Like all the pornographic factors it has its own secrets and there are many techniques and ways to be shot (1/3 techniques, zooming alteration etc..). For me is an art. A very important one indeed. A smart porn director should definitely give proper attention on how to shoot great close up shots, if he wants to be successful. Close up shots can be applied everywhere from blowjobs - imagine a nice erotic shot as the woman lips are surrounding tenderly the penile mushroom - to any kind of penetration shots - Picture an instance where there is a nice low angled closeup of a large cock as it slides in a woman's hole stretching it wide. (In the previous example I would also like to spot the starlets facial expression during the act as a background frame if you can follow my thought)
On the other hand I also do not support excessive use of closeup shots against wider ones. For me the proper use of measure is the best recipe to great porn .
Finally. I strongly believe that every view has its own role in an adult scene. Close up shots, wider shots, POV shots, penetration shots and yes even softcore shots.

I like close-ups very much... especially when there is some dirty talking involved.... like "love to lick your dirty shithole" That kind of stuff.

^^ You don't need a bunch of extreme close ups to be able to see that people are actually having sex. But, I agree it is an art. Unfortunately, some people don't have a mastery of this art and things get pretty boring, gross, and confusing pretty quickly.

A some point a close up in porn stopped being when a camera zooms in closer to the action and became a medical examination of the performers genitalia. I have no problem with the first one but I truly have no desire to be so close to the performers that I'm able to count their body hairs or worse see inside their asses or vaginas.

best porn scenes are erotic at same time, showing the bodies of the girls and guys fucking but not close ups. Its not erotic to see close ups of dicks going in and out of pussies and ass holes or to see the guys hairy ass holes and balls in front of camera

Some of it is just poor editing. I want a mix of angles, close ups and wider shots, etc., mixed together well so you get a visually interesting mix. I like seeing someone's facial expression, but not when it goes on so long that I think I'm missing something I'd rather be seeing.
That's one of the big drawbacks of webcams and amateur videos--that static camera shot gets tiresome after awhile no matter what's going on.

In general I would agree, but I do like a long, slowish initial penetration shot. If you've been building up to it, it's as satisfying as slipping into a warm bath on a cold day.

^ agree with Lucy. I like close ups but I also like to see the whole thing.
The expression on the girls face,etc. Variety is good :)
