Porn. Is. Art.
It’s been a long time since I’ve featured anything from Daring Sex. Honestly, the quality had slumped a little, but apparently their back. This update featured a great sex scene with Cathy Heaven and Nick Lang. It’s got all the things I love – creative angles, passionate expressions and dramatic lighting. And the button-up shirt along with that leather couch give the whole thing a touch of sophistication. It’s all in the details, and this was done right.

This week, Joymii released “Hot Pants” featuring a model that I don’t recognize dubbed Mia D. There is a clear focus on oral sex with that photo of Mia just sucking the tip of her partner exemplifying Joymii’s high quality standards. The photo is full of vibrant color and life, and fits in nicely with the beautiful sex that follows. Mia is absolutely brilliant and for that I think we can overlook the awkward set. Really – why is the chair arranged like that?

Just a quick update to share this photo of Zarena Summers from the Babes.com set “Getaway.” It’s such a simple shot. There’s not a lot going on in the background except for some messy sheets, and the subject is a relaxed Zarena Summers with fellow model Kris spooning. I get a “morning sex” vibe from this picture, though the full photo series tells a slightly different story.
You can see the photos at Babes.com
And do check out my interview with Zarena Summers here.
When you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Although that’s not always the case, it does seem to be the case for pro porn stars who take to producing their own content. Today we’re featuring more from Sandee Westgate and flipping through these stills makes me wonder why I haven’t posted any of this content earlier. Sandee is full of all the glitz and glamor of a big fashion shoot in this one, complete with that brilliant blue dress. Of course this is porn, and things get very sexy. But Sandee and her staff keep things very tasteful and classy which is why this qualifies as ArtfulPorn.

This week’s latest film from Passion-HD is an all-sex sun-drenched masterpiece called Sensual Awakening featuring the natural beauty of Jenna J. Ross. The film is exquisite and the photos are (mostly) perfect. So what’s so great about the movie?
Like all short films by Passion-HD, it’s an all-sex production. One of the highlights is this great point-of-view shot as Jenna performs an intimate and seductive blow-job. The crop is tight on her face with a narrow focus that blurs out everything but her fiery eyes.
Perhaps the best thing about this film is Jenna’s full-body reaction to each sex position. Completely naked, you can almost feel her pleasure as her abdomen tightens and skin lights up.
And then there are the photos, which mostly capture the essence of the film with stunning angles and some incredible examples of sexual penetration can be artfully captured.
As you browse through the pictures though, you’ll notice a funny thing though. Most of the photos are brilliantly lit, draping Jenna and pal’s bodies in contours of light. But some of the photos look like they were taken with an improperly set camera. The result is an amateur point-and-shoot quality that just doesn’t mesh with the other photos. It’s inconsistent and doesn’t do justice to the magic on screen.
But ultimately, this is really great art-porn that maintains our confidence in Passion-HD’s ability to produce brilliant content. This also introduces us to Jenna Ross, and if her other work is anything like this performance, you’ll be seeing her in these pages again.

It seems that Mia Malkova is showing up everywhere I look! There she is at Passion-HD. And again at X-Art. What’s new at Babes.com? Oh look, it’s Mia Malkova again. It’s not just the art-porn sites either. A quick glance at Freeones reveals that she is shooting for just about every studio, even (ready for the facepalm?) BangBrothers. Ugh.
Flirting with the number one position on Freeones, I think it’s safe to say that just about everybody loves this girl, especially Emily Addison who happens to be Mia’s costar in this great lesbian set from Babes.com
Although I’m almost certain it wasn’t him, these photos have a distinct Ron Harris style about them. I think it’s the color that gives me that impression — especially on the one picture where Emily Addison is licking Mia’s nipple.
There isn’t a whole lot of ingenuity going on with camera angles right here, but I am a sucker for those narrow depth-of-field shots. Maybe it’s overused at this point; after all, it’s become a photographic cheat to tighten the depth of field and presto: it’s art! But I think it really works nicely with the bright light and greenery through the window. And then there’ the fact that Mia’s hair makes her look a a little like Six from Battlestar.

After a long hiatus, legendary erotic artist Michael Ninn is back. Known for filming pornographic films with a definite artistic and dream-like style, he raised the bar for production quality and created content that forced the user to wonder if there was artistic merit in porn. I consider Michael Ninn along with Andrew Blake as the forerunners to today’s growing emphasis on art porn. Ninn sold the majority of his production house Ninn Works to Spearmint Rhino and disappeared from the scene in 2008. Now he is back producing brilliant Michael Ninn originals as part of the Met-Art network which now includes other legends like Holly Randall and Viv Thomas.
This set features the now retired Jenna Haze, famous for her seductive eyes and impassioned performances and winner of countless industry awards. She is photographed along side Jayme Langford in a brilliant lesbian themed set that screams of Michael Ninn’s unique style.

Sandee Westgate is a playmate, porn-star, film producer, webmaster and entrepreneur all rolled into one. An early adopter of web-based content, she has created her own brand of classy glam-porn and remains one of the most frequently searched porn-stars on the web.
We got in touch with Sandee Westgate to discuss her experience working with Playboy, the transition to porn and Sandee’s daily routine running SexySandee.com.
First off, let’s start with some history. Your first claim to fame was when you started working with Playboy. How did that come about?
I started with a show on Playboy TV and it took off from there 
One of the makeup artists recommended me for the special edition magazines and they ended up publishing me over a dozen times! I was also on two consecutive covers for them, which was the first time in their history (at that time). Not sure if it’s been done since.
It seems like a pretty amazing experience – what was it like? Read more…
Passion-HD brings Lily Love back for another boy-girl shoot that is just full of gems. I love to see a little personality come through now and then and Lily is full of smiles in these photos. The crew also nailed the lighting rig, opting for a vivid and high-contrast look that makes Lily’s skin tones pop against the background. And what a background - I’m always keen on a nice set, and the stone fireplace, hardwood floors and ceiling beams add plenty of intrigue to these photos.

Sandee Westgate first blew my mind in the preview for Girlfriends – an all lesbian film from 2005 featuring Westgate, Justine Joli and Adrianna Sage. She remains a top-100 ranked Freeones Babe and continues to produce incredible porn on her own terms at SandeeWestgate.com
Case in point, these amazing photos of Sandee getting sexy with her man. It tells the story of a sexually explicit lap-dance fantasy. What makes these photos stand out is the intense color and stark contrast. I don’t know what they’re doing with the lighting and post-production, but the result is an attention-getting photo that leaps out of the screen at you.
Also, Sandee is just incredible. Her movements and expressions convey this I-want-it attitude that you just don’t get from a still photo.
