vrfanservice Kay Lovely was shot before River Lynn, so yea less lights than we had for our recent Ava Sinclaire shoot; we lit Ava up like a Christmas tree so shadows shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Don't get me wrong, like I said, I don't want or expect clinical white light for each and every scene. "Atmospheric lighting" (maybe a better term) is nice when done very well. The Haley Spades scene mentioned above or POVR's recent Christmas scene with Anny Aurora are imho good examples of such a really good execution of atmospheric lighting.
My main issue with the recent release are the shadows on (important) parts of the female's body. Imho that's simply something that should be avoided in general in VR porn. If you con't care about them, good for you, but that doesn't mean that they made the scene better in any way, so there's not reason that they exist (from a viewer's perspective).
I know that photographers always strive for a realistic lighting but realism imho isn't the most important thing in VR porn by a far stretch. We're not talking about mainstream non-adult movies here but about porn. Being able to see the girls perfectly is the first and most important task for every porn photographer imho. There's imho this false "trend" in VR porn to become as realistic as possible but that's a dangerous path since you're selling dreams and fantasies and not reality. Truth is that reality is often pretty disappointing and bleak for many people, especially in terms of sexual activities and experiences. Hell, many people only have sex in complete darkness, so much for reality...
So yeah, I value the will to experiment and to find new cool ways of shooting stuff and to put the beautiful girls in the right light, in the truest sense of the word. But there are some basics that shouldn't be forgotten on the way, like not casting shadows on the girl, especially not on penetration and not for a longer time. That's at least my take on it.
And by the way, I'm a die-hard Witcher fan (like really hardcore) but the Witcher scene on SLRO never really made it for me, partially due to the very dark lighting (and I don't like cheap cosplay stuff in general). 😉
@vrfanservice
Thanks for the extended insight into your production process and into your reasoning for filming. Very insightful. And keep up your good work, I've enjoyed the hell out of many scenes you shot in the last years.👍️
