Many of my favorite BDSM photos were taken with a cameraPhone. My iPhone is the only camera that I took to MAL, IML, Folsom, and the October Atlantis cruise.
Cameras change the mood in the room. The bigger the camera the more it changes the mood.
When I started going to the suspended animation lessons I made the conscious choice not to bring a big camera and not to have my cameraPhone out for long.
At the suspendedAnimation lessons I haven't been taking time to compose shots or re-shoot for lighting or focus. It shows, but not breaking the mood of the scene is more important.
