I think that now porn is getting so much more exposure than it used to via mags, we need to freshen it up some. All the guys mentioned in this thread do great stuff, but how much can you see before it all starts to run together?
A few years back I worked on non-porn with an Israeli called Micha Kirshner. I once gave him the job of photographing a car tire - by itself - in a way that would let the pic sit across a double spread of a style magazine and not be out of place. I really thought it would be tough, but he did it in a couple of hours. One of these days I shall ask him if he wants to do some nude stuff.

Jayeff! Well just cause a guy shoots nudes or porn don't mean he ain't an artist with a camera. Far from it! Fine art worldwide begins with either nudes/sex, monsters and religion. Goes all the way back to caveman days. We haven't changed much other than the tools.
Sports photogs are not that much different. They have to capture the action and the emotional content. Tough but I've met and worked with the best. Believe you me, some of the photogs and models I've seen in porn/adult could hold their own with the mainstream any day of the week.
