After reading this article from the NYT, I really wanted to highlight the recent trend of porn-photography to go old-fashion. No photo assistants, no special lighting, film-photography when it’s not a polaroid. Digital cameras are used only if the photos are processed in post-treatment using films from Fuji, Rollei, Kodak or other brands from the past century ! Jonathan Leder, as a case in point, prefers the polaroid and fixed 35 mm lenses. The models too go old-fashion as well as the  scenes they are shot in. Maybe this is the Mad Men effect striking again. Jonathan Leder is the creator of Jacques, “an upstart adult magazine in Brooklyn that reinterprets vintage Playboy in the age of 3-D porn and GPS hookups.” To me, he deploys much more erotism by beeing only suggestive and soft where other lurk in the obscenity.
