porn-ification exemplified

[joeoppedisano]

my directorial debut.

my old roommate and girlfriend forever, Colton Ford in his inner battle between porn Colton and blue collar Glen, who he really is.

as someone who sees everything as beautiful, even when things are really definitely not as they appear, to me...when something exquisite comes along and eclipses all the other suns that shine brightly all the time, you know it the second you see it. for it fascinates you. excites you. makes your brain go in a million other ways and every thought becomes a process and it falls directly into place. somehow, everything just works out. and in a way you become obsessed with elevating it higher every time, you see an angle that at first glance you’d missed, now you have it, and all is bliss. if I searched for something that would push me to places I'd never dreamed, I wouldn’t find it, not at first, until the time was right and it was ready to be revealed. you can push and pull, either way, because the one who’s pushing is leading you astray to outer regions, somewhere lost in space...shooting stars fly by at lightning speed whizzing past your face. but you stay calm, you keep your cool, you can finally breathe, all the questions are answered, you won’t be fooled. this creature that’s got this power indeed is also kind, together you will both succeed.

let me just tell you something, Miss Thing’s...I seen a lot a men in my days, worked with em and made em even more iconic. and when I see a face I feel has the potential I see when I look in his eyes, that right there is the model for me. it’s nice to discover something out of left field, that gets you back to the old you. Jamie Ewing. yeah, now, THAT’S a face.

How fortunate am i to have gotten to the point in my life where...I'm content. I'm happy. And who can ask for more than that!

[joeoppedisano]

lost touch with my soul...I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go. lost sight of my dream...thought it would be the end of me. I thought I'd never make it through, I had no hope to hold onto, I thought I would break...I didn't know my own strength. and I crashed down, and I tumbled...but I did not crumble...I got through all the pain, I didn't know my own strength. so find my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive. I picked myself back up, hold my head up high. I was not built to break, I didn't know my own strength.                found hope in my heart, I found the light to light my way out of the dark. found all that I need, here inside of me. I thought id never find my way, I thought id never lift that weight, I thought I would break...I didn't know my own strength. and I crashed down, and I tumbled...but I did not crumble...I got through all the pain, I didn't know my own strength. so find my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive. I picked myself back up, hold my head up high. I was not built to break, I didn't know my own strength.                                                         there were so many times I, wondered how I get through the night, I thought I took all that I could take...I didn’t know my own strength. and I crashed down, and I tumbled...but I did not crumble...I got through all the pain, I didn't know my own strength. my faith kept me alive. I picked myself back up, I hold my head up high... I was not built to break, I didn't know my own strength.                       I was not built to break.

HOW TO LOOK LIKE A JOE O. SUPERMODEL (LOL)

This morning on Facebook, I had a chat with a really cute, sexy guy in Denver. our conversation went from just nice and casual to business, as I'd love to get him in front of my lens...and so, it became kind of a cool interview, and my questions and answers are ones I give to all my models, so...here goes...

Nolan’s questions for me...interview style

(N) Love ur take on the male erotica A lot!

(Me) well, I always thought that u shouldn't give it all away, all the time. I want people to look at my work and imagine, think, get aroused and make their own fantasies about whats happening, or could happen...next         thats why I hate porn.  it bores me

(N) And that's exactly what i do w ur work! Love its nasty dirty sweaty men! Manly men

(Me) the brain is a very powerful tool, and its always better to leave it to the imagination, that way, each image has a personal effect on each viewer lol why ud be good to photograph

(N) Awe thx! Coming from u thats an honor!

(Me) and ur great to shoot because ur what I look for now...the next generation of whats sexy. the style, love the hair, tats, piercings. more modern than my classic older guys....which u will eventually become, only with a twist

(N) Awe thank u so much ur making me blush! I wish i was closer or u in Denver! I dont have a body like the men in ur photos though

(Me) thats ok....real men don't really have bodies like that either...thank God for Photoshop...lol

(N) Hahaha

(Me) thats why my models love me so much, I make em better. than even they are...I have guys say to me...wow, do I look like that? and I say...no...but, in this picture u do...lol I also make my guys go on a strict workout regimen for a month, ask them to sleep well the whole week before no alcohol or drugs, manicure, pedicure, facial...swear to god, they think I'm nuts till they see the outcome. I'm easy to work with cuz I'm fast n know what I want, but its what happens before the pic is taken that everyone balks at...but they do it...cause they know...lol       what do u do? in the medical profession?

(N) Wow well i would def listen to everything u said and follow it before if u ever shot me! Im a nurse 

(Me) nice pics. but with proper light, pose and execution, ud be perfection...  I started reworking a series of pics I have been doing to look like sketches or cartoons, u remind me of one model...porn star...I forget his name, but, lemme find a sample.           nurse...see, I knew u were smart when u said u liked my work...lol.    

(N) I remind u of a porn star! Haha smart me do love ur work

(Me) (sent him a reworked photo) what do u think? I'm just playing with em so far

(N) Id change the tone color

(Me) well I haven't even gotten to that yet..lol, its a long process, and these are taken off my computer to my cell phone and. transferred back to computer...just fucking with em...but ur right

(N) Epp sorryI used to do photography   Didn't mean to come off as harsh

(Me) oh please...trust me, I hate yes men, and love when people r honest....so, thank u

(N) Well im very honest ha. Damn i wanna do a shoot w u. 

(Me) well, I aint going anywhere. I kinda retired from shooting porn-shit, I'm teaching now. art for people with disabilities...I love it, but miss shooting my boys

(N) Awesome thing ur doing now! I bet they love it!                Well Daddy id love to be shot by u..dressing me up or down telling me what position u want me in! Even some porn stuff is ok w me. Only live once!

(Me) well, exactly, so, seriously stay in touch n if u ever get out here, let me know

(N) What ya wanna see me do shoot wise handsome

(Me) I dunno...thats a whole series of interview questions I have for my models before I can shoot em...im a pain in the ass...I tell ya, I put my models through hell...lo

(N) lHaha well id gladly comply! Haha for u i would! Youre one of my favorite gay erotic photographers

(Me) 1. whats ur image?        how do people see u when they look at u now?                                              2.what would u like ur image to be in 5 years?                                                                      3.what character from a movie or t.v. show do u admire and want to be when u grow up?                                                                                                            4.what r ur limits?                                                                                            5.thats to start with

(N) Limits as in?

(Me) like...some people can't do nudes cuz of work, or...some people won't do...certain things. u need to be completely comfortable, and I don't ask anyone to do anything they aren't into, so I like to know at what point do we pull back

(N) 1. They see me as a put together confident nurse, sure of myself at work, introvert independent man out of work. 2. 5 years ago...so meek yes Sir no Sir people pleaser....just coming into my own skin...horror movie loving band short cargo shorts man 3. I want to me like Booth from tv show Bones and a mix between...David from Six Feet Under. 4. Limits, scant, blood, fisting.

(Me) how would u like people to see u in 5-10 years

(N) Distinguish in my work, settled....see me how?   Scat*

(Me) thats ok...lol, I knew what u meant....LOL. but I mean, when u walk down the street what would u like to be the thing that goes through peoples head...like....Strong, professional, distinguished, masculine, punk, rockabilly, farmer sexy...like...what image would u like to portray

(N) Strong processional distinguished dilf masculine punk mixed w rockabilly...sexy nasty kinky man

(Me) ok. cool, so, how, given the characters u say u admire and urself...what would u be wearing on any given day as that persona...like, should we push the rockabilly punk a little more, exaggerate that so people would be shocked but turned on when u, the punk-hot nurse walks in the room...I was a fashion editor for Vogue before I was a photographer, so...for me...the "look" we create is most important

(N) Exactly the hot punkish nurse inked nurse! That's how patients families see me now. And im super kinky 

(Me) maybe shoot u after work, so ur not in scrubs, but the stethoscope could be cool with an interesting pair of leather motocross pants with high studded boots, no shirt, maybe instead of a harness, make a shoulder pad, like asymmetric on one shoulder that is hooked together with leather or rubber straps that cross ur chest, the hair is perfect, the stethoscope is just there on ur neck or we use it wrapped around ur forearm and make a gauntlet....stuff like that

(N) Sounds good to me! W a jockstrap showing?  Or cockring showing?

(Me) no....I use an athletic supporter (cup) inside ur crotch so it always looks bigger, let the viewer just imagine what they want, we don't have to be so obvious....maybe for another look, but, I start dressed and complete with an image and we go from there

[joeoppedisano]

u better go

[joeoppedisano]

in the heat of the moment, when breath was gasps and skin was wet, millions of things went through my mind, all of which I truly meant. I imagined being there with you, just the two of us, and we could do almost anything that crossed our minds, we felt so solid, two forces born to bind. I never guessed that there could be a time so unlike what my fantasy dreamed up in my mind. but here we are only moments past, where did love go? I thought for sure we’d last.

[joeoppedisano]

I'm sorry...not to sound fucking obnoxious, but...don’t anybody tell me I aint the best fuckin’ men’s photographer...ever. did that sound obnoxious?

waking up this morning felt different. it wasn't hard to get out of bed, I wasn't depressed that I have nothing really to do today, which usually makes me start an endless ADHD ritual of smoking, watching random documentaries and complaining interiorly. but not today. something changed. something’s different. something feels natural and normal in a way it hasn't for years.

maybe this is it.
