I’ve talked about Herself Pics before. It’s a simple, naughty and hot concept wherein the porn producer gives a girl or couple a camera for the weekend to shoot pics of themselves. I love that site, it’s fun, voyeuristic and hot. Now it seems like renowned German photographer Uwe Ommer has taken up on the same idea. Supposedly it was inspired by busting in on his babysitter. Check this out:

“Inspired by a babysitter he surprised in front of the bathroom mirror shooting pictures of herself with his Polaroid, photographer Uwe Ommer decided to put together a book of erotic self-portraits by inexperienced photographers. Arming participants with cameras and basic technical instructions, Ommer asked them to photograph themselves in any way they pleased—liberated, so to speak, from the voyeuristic eye of the photographer. Some chose to use mirrors as they captured their portraits, while others braved the camera without the help of their reflections. While many subjects required no intervention by Ommer, for others he acted as “ghost photographer,” helping them with the lighting and setup; in both cases, the models were free to indulge their inspirations in any ways they pleased—from sexy and provocative to romantic to simply being themselves. The cast of self-portraitists includes a wide range of personalities, from students to artists, actors, stylists, dancers, models, musicians, teachers, and more. This highly original book gives us a rare glimpse at the way everyday women see themselves—or wish they did.”

I’m all for it and I will buy this book. But I do wonder if this was just a flash in the pan original idea inspired by the babysitter or whether Uwe was actually checking out Herselfpics? I’ll tell you one thing, while you will see stunning photography in this book, and much of it highly erotically charged, you probably won’t see self pics of anal dildo masturbation like you will here…

BTW, there is another outstanding site about to be launched in the same vein; you will only know about it from me so stick around andkeep returning. Hopefully before Xmas, this might be the best new amateur site yet!
