If you’ve been following me on social media lately, you’ve probably seen me talking about the fact that we’ve been trying out some new techniques and trying to get more creative with the way we shoot. Today’s update is the first example of a new experiment we’re trying out and it’s called Stroking and Sucking Blowjob in Beautiful Lace Lingerie.
So, what’s our new thing? We had Sophie come in to operate an extra camera to give it more motion. The fact is, no matter how many cameras we have, they’re all fairly static because we have to use tripods. We trust Sophie and she’s committed to all the same philosophies as we are, so we feel comfortable having her with us. It’s something we’ve done a couple of times before, back when we had the office/studio space, but we decided we’d all rather work at home, so it became more of a challenge.
We all really love the artsy look it gives. It adds a lot more motion, but it also allows us to play with focus, with having lots of different shots in real time, being able to use slow-motion for specific actions, focus on my face, my body, on the action and on very close-up attention to detail. If it were anyone else, it might feel less intimate, but Sophie is very good at just keeping quiet, letting us do our thing and making us feel at ease. It felt very natural and I think it’s something we’re going to keep exploring.
What did you think? Do you notice the difference? Do you like the difference? Check out the trailer for a taste, but you’ll see it all in the full video!
Hi Camille! Sorry I’ve been quiet for a while; although I’ve been “invisible,” I have still been following every wonderful step forward with TAOB! Today’s film really intrigues me on a hypothetical level. I have to wonder what it’s like to have Sophie there filming you? I know there’s nothing she hasn’t already seen, and you’re all pros at the job, and she’s a brilliant individual and a close friend… but at the same time, it must be at least slightly different to have a third person in the room. I mean, you’re not “industry” actors on a cheap set surrounded by cold lights and anonymous cameramen. TAOB is all about the intimacy and honesty between you and Mike– real passion between real lovers. I really LIKE this new “active camera” approach, and I think it’s successful and adds an intensified voyeuristic quality to the film– but does it feel any different for you and Mike (and Sophie)? Do you pretend (off-camera) like she’s not there? If she sneezed during a shot, would you say “bless you”? Does your passion turn her on at all? Forgive me for being so nosy and curious. I guess I just like imagining what it would be like for Sophie because she now gets to be one step closer to what the rest of us all dream of– being in the room with your talent and beauty!
(P.S., I realize you basically already answered my questions in your main post– Sophie keeps quiet; you all feel comfortable having her there; etc. So I guess just let me repeat that I like the new experiment, both visually and for the enhanced “voyeur” quality.)
I am so happy that the look is advanced from our new venture.
It’s only very slightly different. With Sophie, as well as with Lilyanne and Max at this point, we’re all in this together like a really closely-knit team. It is a collaborative experience, but it’s fundamentally about Mike and I in the moment, so with any other of our team-members, it would serve to accentuate the creative flow, but not to permeate our bubble. If Sophie sneezed, we might giggle if we were in the mood, or we wouldn’t acknowledge it if we weren’t feeling silly. Sophie is very professional, so she keeps sexuality of any kind off the table and sticks to the creative element. It’s hard to explain our relationship with her, but it’s more like we all appreciate our sexuality, but when we’re talking about or engaging in the actual sex, it’s all kept in professional terms, without being too serious. It just fits quite naturally.
Thanks for these responses, Camille! It’s interesting that although lots of people (like me) seem to have enjoyed the fantasy idea of including Sophie (or anyone) as a sexual participant and not just a camera operator, it’s actually more relieving to know how objective and professionally platonic you all are. The fact that she can be there to enhance the film quality but without distracting you and Mike from the sexual quality is pretty amazing. Keep up the wonderful work!
I think it’s really interesting, too. We didn’t know how people would react, but we wanted to be honest. Professionally platonic is a good way to put our relationship with Sophie. People always assume that porn is all lechery, but it isn’t.
Very exciting! We too wonder how this affects what you both are doing and if it’s different. Hotter? A quicker shoot? So many questions! And SO many people will be so jealous of Sophie!
V+R
I wouldn’t say it’s hotter, because Sophie is essentially like a moving tripod. She’s not instructing us and she isn’t objectifying us, so she’s just helping us get better shots. It takes less time and it actually makes it easier to stay in the moment, since we don’t ever have to stop and reposition things or check out the shots. And then we can have lunch and a meeting after! It’s kind of perfect, really.
I would love to watch your images together with my wife but hesitate since it is all one-sided. Are there any works with your lucky man “returning the favor”?
No, but it’s not one-sided emotionally. I love to give, it’s arousing to me to see my boyfriend’s pleasure. You can even show her this comment if you want.
Hi Camille,
Another lovely video–your photos and vids remain at such a high level of quality. I confess to looking at other porn and with the exception of a few sites, you just keep outdoing everyone, IMHO.
I liked the idea of Sophie in the room with you–added a bit of voyeuristic thrill to the whole thing and I’m sure I’m not the only one to have that fantasy of you with girl or of Mike being a really lucky fellow and having you AND another girl.
But actually my favorite part of the whole shot was when you put Mike’s hand to your breast. I’m still trying to decide if you did it for his pleasure because you know he wanted to or if you wanted to feel it there. Such things to contemplate on a Saturday afternoon.
As always, I think you’re the best.

I’m so glad you caught that little moment. That was me taking charge, which I don’t do that often outside of the blowjob, but I wanted him to give me a little grab like he meant it and I loved it!
And thank you so much for letting me know that our porn still feels special after all these years!
Wow, love that outfit! It had a classey old time look. Very beautiful. The shooting was nice, with the same look as your other videos. Like others asked, was it more arousing for Sophie to be there? Did she want to join you and Mike? Or was it weird for her to watch her boss suck her other bosses cock despite wanting to make wonderful porn? I will say it was a little different watching just knowing someone was filming and it wasn’t just you and Mike. You still had a connection, but made me wonder if you held anything back since it wasn’t just the two of you. Still, it was a great video with nice lighting and great shots of you and Mike.
It wasn’t really either. She doesn’t want to enter the picture, and that’s not the relationship we have with her anyways. It wasn’t weird for her either, since we don’t have a typical boss-employee relationship either. We interact primarily as collaborators trying to change the face of porn. It’s a very creative and idealistic way of approaching it, and she just kept saying that she was thrilled to be involved in the actual making of the content and not just on the business side of things. Even though she’s our PR/marketing person, she has a lot of creative projects in her non-work life and this side of the industry appeals to her just as much. It all sounds kind of crazy, but it’s just a way to get better shots and use our time more effectively with someone we trust to do a good job, stay professional but not be cold. We didn’t hold back at all, because that’s not who we are and we felt really comfortable. It was basically like any other shoot, just with a second camera that could move around.
IMO Sophie did not take away from the video, and added a voyeuristic element. The connection is still intact, especially the very ending. Camille you still have that look of love for Mike, and that you love to do that for him. Very emotionally charged.
I also enjoyed the cut, where the music stopped, you stroking mike, in anticipation of mike exploding, and did not, is a nice tease, and great editing. Loved it all, and found myself watching the video over and over. Video is very engaging.
That is so great, Phil! Knowing that you could still see the emotion and that, if anything, her presence added another dimension… Yay! That’s exactly what we wanted to achieve. I agree about the editing, too. This is one of Mike’s favourite things that he’s ever edited. It felt like time stood still in that moment and he was able to communicate that perfectly in the finished video.
Camille, you are just so beautiful. Sex aside, just those portrait shots of you make my heart double beat.
Oh yeah, I hope I don’t get in trouble for posting this here but I figued it was the best opportunity for me to show you this: Nigella Lawson being VERY naughty/cheeky
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/07/nigella-lawson-caramel_n_1134145.html
the video isn’t working for me but oh my god, look it up on youtube or something. Between your post and Nigella, I need to go sit down for a bit.
That caramel sure looks like it could be something else if it was a little more light and creamy. That is very sexy indeed. The video didn’t work for me either, but the photo alone is pretty mind-blowing.
Hope I don’t get in trouble for double posting, but here is a direct link to the video
http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/video-welcome-to-the-nigella-issue
No trouble at all. Seeing her with that ice cream cone and the caramel dripping down her fingers… That certainly got me thinking…
I think the best part of the video is the makeup artists expression as she puts the caramel all over Nigellas face, she’s having WAY too much fun hahaha. Nigella is so cool in my books now.
I think Mike would really have to save-up for a while if yous ever decided to try and recreate this shoot Nigella did, but my god, I think I could die a satisfied man
Haha, I imagined us having his cum in a container in the fridge. Hopefully no one would mistake it for yogurt…
Well the problem that causes me to drift from a site, is the sameness of each and every video. Yes, I also detest
the commercial exploitation of girls. I see these girls who look like their on drugs or performing strictly for the money and it takes away from any attempt at erotica or art.
Your site offers two very different things. First it is not exploitive and second you strive to create a new and different approach to your videos with each passing week.
I love the fact that you do not try to create skits that are far fetched and poorly performed such as “she was at the laundry mat and was washing all of her cloths when a stranger arrived, and she gave him a blowjob, ect.
I also enjoy the fact that your videos are short 5-8 minutes, and that I know that you are going to allow Mike to cum in your mouth.
I think the variety of camera angles are important, I especially like the shot of you knelling with Mike’s cock extend and sucking him, while the camera is in a landscape view midway between the two of you.
As far as Sophie being in the room, this is interesting.
I usually fantasize in still shots of being the photographer, but in videos I assume the role of the male being blown by a lovely woman. In Your videos I take on the role of being the participant in the act getting blown and the knowledge that Sofie being there would certainly be a distraction. I know of one video where you allowed Anna to participate in blowing Mike and I am wondering what will happen with this more intimate participation by Sophie. I believe having a second male or female participant becomes unnatural to me as I have only had one experience with two females at the same time. So, Sophie to me is a neutral observer and I think she may certainly facilitate the beautiful presentation of your videos.
Last, you no longer have a link between your theartofblowjob.com site and your blog. This blog really makes you alive to your subscribers, could you consider re-establishing the link??
I completely agree with you about what makes you drift from a site. I’m the exact same way. I’m so happy that my site provides something different.
Sophie won’t be participating in the blowjobs at all, though. She’s strictly behind the scenes, a neutral observer as you said. She just facilitates getting nicer shots.
For the link, I need to find a better way to contextualize it on the site, but it will be back up.
