| /u/cans-of-swine Thats a man that loves his job. |
| /u/opuFIN If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life |
| /u/BritishGolgo13 Don't love your job, job your love |
| /u/mrbofus So... pimp out your wife/girlfriend? |
| /u/MaGoodenough That's can't be it, redditors don't have wife/girlfriend to pimp. |
| /u/InfiniteCrunch Agreed, Pimping is a street man's gambit. Redditors just 'powercuck' at best. |
| /u/BLAZEtms My dad used to say the same thing He loved crack though, and never worked a day in his life |
| /u/buadach2 A young man looking at a young woman's pussy is about the least perverted sexual thing you could think of. |
| /u/thederevolutions And he's pretty handsome so I can see how he weaseled his way into this job. She's smiling nearly as much as him. |

| /u/BobbywiththeJuice Gooning pioneer. Jaques Biederer jacks betterer |
| /u/Top_Agency1370 In two years we must celebrate the Original Gooner Centennial |
| /u/Bob-Bhlabla-esq This exact wording when I saw that face! He never worked a day in his life! |
| /u/Wakkit1988 Dude probably worked really hard. |
| /u/Phillip_Graves He didn't love his job so he made created a new job that he could love. And keep copies of. |
| /u/TwiggyPom https://giphy.com/gifs/cVcEjPSe8O47e |
| /u/PuzzledExaminer He was definitely happy... https://giphy.com/gifs/rfLAnHKzt1PIUiZNPR |
| /u/Regumate When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. |
| /u/SexOnABurningPlanet What if you love not working? |
| /u/HighDefinitionCat You never work a day in your life. |
| /u/uncultured_swine2099 "Photograph me like one of your French girls" |
| /u/VapeRizzler I bet he was so confused when an entire market opened up around his fetish he somehow tricked people into participating in. Jokes aside, I wonder why he started this. For art? Free speech? Some kind of protest? Or what we all think? |
| /u/Evepaul Erotic writings and drawings have been produced for centuries, and he was only the first photographer to specialize in erotic photography. It's simply a matter of economics, he came at exactly the right moment where the cost of producing the photos was low enough and the audience which started to prefer photos to drawings grew enough to make it viable to specialize in it |
| /u/onarainyafternoon > he came at exactly the right moment |
| /u/UsedDragon Let's be real...he just wanted to beat his meat to fresh material. |
| /u/Village_People_Cop Man probably got thrown out one too many chruches touching himself looking at the frescos |
| /u/AJM_1987 I recall hearing long ago that every new medium/technology is used for porn. There's plenty of erotic sculpture, drawings, writing, etc. to be found throughout history, & more recently photography & video, now AI, robotics. Wouldn't be surprised if the future gives us neural implants that let folks dial up mind-blowing orgasms with the twist of a dial. Humanity is horny af, always has been & always will be. |
| /u/BonCourageAmis Simply incorrect. Erotic photos were being printed in the 19th century and sold as "French postcards" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic\_photography |
| /u/twentythreeskidoo That's funny. Guy invents a new photographic method and basically the first thing people do is take some nudie shots |
| /u/_Ocean_Machine_ And before that, people made sculptures and paintings of people in the nude. We humans really like looking at hot naked people. |
| /u/sabertoothdog I was thinking, man that took way longer than I would have thought |
| /u/WeirdistBuilds Well, what it says is that he was "the first photographer to specialize in erotic photos". There was absolutely junk shots before then, but those people were just dabbling. |
| /u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge 1928? They had pornographic films by this point |

| /u/Jarkundo They both look so happy and that makes me happy. |
| /u/Relax007 The word "polite" comes to mind, which is not something I'd normally associate with this sort of thing. |
| /u/sledgesloth You've just put into words what has been my comfortable confusion. |
| /u/Hairy_is_the_Hirsute Dude was raking in the bush! |
| /u/Captincorpse Not a single phone in sight, just two people living in the moment |
| /u/Stack_Canary They look like the same person with different hair |
| /u/avaliador69 Let's get down to business, where can I find the photos he took? |
| /u/PauseAffectionate720 Ironically, Wikipedia. 🤣🤣🤣 |
| /u/Iliketogrowstuf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Biederer?wprov=sfla 1 |
| /u/Tendas "Oh, interesting, I wonder what they got up to later in life-" both brothers died in 1942 |
| /u/robothawk Not just died. Both were murdered in the holocaust at Birkenau |
| /u/foreverflyingsparrow Fuck Nazism. Think of all the photos we could have had |
| /u/_Ocean_Machine_ Think of how far ahead the field of erotic photography would be had these trailblazers not been stolen from us. |
| /u/SpacemanSpiff61 You know, I'm not exactly a BDSM person but it just never occurred to me that that genre existed 100 years ago. Not saying I didn't think it existed, just never imagined it being around either. |
| /u/nick2473got Every fetish has existed for centuries or even millennia. The idea that porn invented stuff like BDSM, anal, facial ejaculation, etc..., is pure nonsense. This stuff has been around since ancient times. |
| /u/iamapizza It's even dumber than that. Every generation thinks they've invented porn and nostalgia. |
| /u/3031983 I had someone try to persuade me that's trans is brand new because of trans pornography.... |
| /u/Individual_Sir7827 Erotic whipping is sometimes called the English Vice and it's been around for centuries. |
| /u/Unknown_author69 Imagine this guy loading his trunk full of kink to travel in his t model ford, city to city. |
| /u/GloomyIndividual3965 "A woman spanking another woman with a violin bow, a notably unconventional implement" Sometimes the editors hit a home run. |
| /u/geoantho https://preview.redd.it/5tiq3zehjxqh1.jpeg?width=562&for mat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f354b92b1338d941b498e89d0233823d92 66ad4 |
| /u/Good4nowbut honestly there's some phenomenal asses in the wiki gallery. fair play |
| /u/Pedsy Violin girl. God damn! |
| /u/Pudddddin I don't know why I doubted this, but boy was I spectacularly wrong |
| /u/kangourou_mutant Commons has even more: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Biederer_Stu dio |
| /u/MaGoodenough I'm a bit iffy by the lack of pussy representation in these photos. Still the guy was a pioneer... |
| /u/khizoa Home boy's clearly an ass man |
| /u/kangourou_mutant It was supposed to be erotic, not pornographic. The difference is the pussy I think ^^ |
| /u/guhut15 Ya it's even a bit blurred on some of the photos where you would see it. |
| /u/SleveBonzalez I was like, it's weird that both brothers died in 1942 when they were fairly far apart in age. Then, I got to immigrated to France and I literally said out loud, "oh." |
| /u/nick2473got I love how stuff like this instantly disproves the ridiculous notion that internet porn is what created these kinds of fetishes. These pics are from the 1920s and they're doing full on bondage and S&M stuff. Clearly human beings have always been into freaky shit. |

| /u/oranke_dino At the same time the appeared the first photographer in history who specialized in taking photos of people, who are taking erotic photos. |

| /u/Pipe_Memes He seemed to be a big fan of spanking. |
| /u/Embarrassed_Emu1615 And some fine arses. |
| /u/trolleyblue Man was not expecting them to both die in concentration camps. That's super sad actually. |
| /u/LavenderPig "Trust me, this is going to be huge in 100 years. If only there were fans of this now" |
| /u/OrionShade And look how far we come.. now we got Korean shemale furries jizzing eachother in the ass and eating the result. Standing on the shoulders of giants. |
| /u/The_Oliverse No, I've definitely heard that one before. |
| /u/Am_Deer Can we get a shout out to the guy who specialized in photographing the guy who specialized in erotic photography? Odd specialty but hey |
| /u/Excellent-Quarter969 Nah, he's the boring af photog |
| /u/foremastjack "It's called photojournalism Carl, and it's a respectable career!" |
| /u/mynameisnotsparta The gallery section is NSFW and informative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio\_Biederer |
| /u/JlwRfwkm first nude photo: 1839 first camera: 1816 I thought, that doesn't sound quite right, continues to read: First camera takes eight hours of exposure to produce a photo. First commercial camera was 1839. That makes more sense. |
| /u/GuacamoleFrejole And the photographer who took this photo is the first in history to specialize in photographers who specialize in erotic photos. |
| /u/flowingdropofcrisis Why did someone take a photo of him taking a photo |

| /u/platypod1 I refuse to believe that the first person who ever used a camera wasn't also the first person to specialize in naughty pictures. |
