Erotic photography? What is it?

A pretty girl in a gossamer dress frolicking in the forest. (no, that’s called softcore)
I can’t define it… but I know it when I see it… . (try again)
Webcam video of me and my roommate reading poetry in the nude. (ummm. probably not)

So what then…

Most niche categories are pretty easy to define and have well established borders. We can easily imagine foot fetish images, gay content, pregnant content, even broad categories like amateur. But erotic photography is different. It means different things to different people. It crosses over into other niches. I have seen some really beautiful gay, fetish, pornstar, even POV erotic photography. It changes and evolves with trends in beauty, fashion and technology. Are implants still beautiful and erotic? Does big hair and make up still impress? What about HD video, without it are the scenes really high quality enough to matter?
Probably no on all counts.

So if erotic photography is largely subjective, reaches across virtually all genres, and is continually evolving, how do we define it and more importantly how can we capitalize on it?

Not to worry – define it with two words. Quality and Innovation. Now apply these two words to your favorite niche and you likely have Erotic Photography. So in truth Erotic Photography is not a niche at all, but more a philosophy, a methodology. Something that can, and should, be applied to anything you are promoting.

When you think about erotic photography drop your pre-conceived ideas, think outside the box and start pushing the boundaries of your chosen niche. If you are a photographer get creative and try something new. If you are an affiliate search harder for content that is truly innovative, truly Erotic Photography. Your consumers will love it, you will make more money, and you will be contributing something positive to the current glut of hum drum content we are currently all buried beneath.
