Fleshbot
Regular readers of Fleshbot know that there's been no shortage over the years of fancy photographer types who have set up their camera on the edge of a porn site to record their impressions of what making a dirty movie is "really" like, and although some of their efforts have turned out better than others most of the results are generally pretty much the same. Not so with the work of Dennis McGrath, however, who has recorded the on-set goings-on during various Porn Valley productions over the past several years. Even if no less an eminent authority as Fleshbot Crush Object Kimberly Kane Herself didn't call it "the most realistic look at what it’s like to be on a porn set in the valley I’ve ever seen," McGrath's photos are noteworthy for the way they seamlessly blend the workaday aspects of the skin trade with those occasional moments of sheer, unadulterated hotness that make all that tedium and standing around worthwhile.
As occasional visitors to porn sets ourselves, we can definitely say they're the next best thing to being there—minus the crafts service table and the smell of melon-scented body spray in the air.
