I thought it would be great to introduce you all to the man behind some of the best spanking content on the web today, the Cameraman. He was Clare Fonda’s partner. Let me know what you think.
How did you meet Clare?
I met Clare while shooting a party at a club called The Chateau, which I believe is no longer open for business. She was looking to get into spanking videos, and I had lots of equipment and could make it happen.
And how did you start working for her?
I shot a lot of scenes for Clare from the time we met, doing at first videos that we sold, then starting web sites. I would say I was more of her partner and that we worked side by side, but she was definitely the face of the sites.
So you were into the spanking scene prior?
Working with Clare was my introduction to the spanking scene,
but I did do a few random club shoots – mostly other fetishes.
You took over all her spanking sites?
How can you leave this behind?
It was a little traumatic when Clare and I had lunch about a year ago and she told me that she was planning to pull out of the sites. She had other things she wanted to do and never saw spanking as a long term career. We did have 12 great years together. Now I am running the sites myself. Clare is doing great..I just blogged http://www.spankingwiew.com/ about what she has been up to.
Tell us more about the sites and what they each have that is unique?
I am managing a number of sites that I feel each offer something a little different. A brief comment on each
http://www.girlspanksgirl.com/ is my top selling site. It has 3 sections –
1. Discipline spankings – which are harder and more traditional.
2. Sensual spankings – which are more fantasy-like
3. Erotic – which combines spanking and sexual situations.
– has a nice mix of sexuality and lots of hard spankings as well and shows girls in tighter outfits and often naked. (some m/f spankings here)
– if you like schoolgirl spankings – with young sorority girls, at a religious school (nuns), so there is that element too – it’s all here. Lots of hard spankings and paddlings.
is the first spanking soap opera, as far as I can tell. It follows the lives of (usually hot chicks) people who live in an apartment complex and often at their places of business as well. Stars and recurring characters make it unusual. (some m/f spankings here)
– models are interviewed about their childhood spanking experiences and they are re-enacted. Very revealing and yes,
spanking is still used as a form of punishment. Learn all about it here! (some m/f spankings here)
– new site that is growing in popularity, it is my only “star” site as it is driven by a single lady, the amazing Veronica
Ricci. Her character bounces from job to job, spankings always follow. She is an amazing switch, therefore one of the few who could pull off a site like this.
– clips store that has elements of all sites – and exists for those who like to buy clips directly without joining sites. Many exclusive scenes can be found here.
That’s a ton of material you pump out. You know we are all jealous of your job. So tell us more about your day to day. Are the shoots fun? Or just another day at the office?
The shoots are mostly fun, but also a lot of work. I typically light and shoot everything myself. Occasionally Veronica Ricci helps as a crew person – as she is a good shooter as well. So sometimes I can enjoy what I am
doing, but there are also moments when it’s all about getting the shots in time, as models are paid for working in time slots.
With the internet offering so much content, how hard do you have to hustle to still make a living shooting spanking content?
I have so many sites because I do for the most part make my living this way. I work every day for the sites – whether it is shooting and/or editing and/or updating, answering emails, doing publicity etc. etc.
Do you shoot other video’s?
I have occasionally shot scenes for other sites, and medical productions. Also work on low budget indie films a few times each year.
Your big shoot of the year is always the Exclusive Education films. Will that continue?
Last year I shot Exclusive Education 7 without Clare and I definitely missed her, though I think it came out pretty great. This year I just shot EE8, but did something a little different – shot it in France – and the girls are on a field trip. Last week, I shot the set up for the field trip. So this is a massive production – but I really wanted to try something that still used schoolgirls, but with a different twist. I should have it up by late July on Girl Spanks Girl (if not sooner). Maybe next year I will try another variation -like cheerleaders or a slumber party or a camping trip…. (suggestions?)
Let him hear from you his twitter is in the interview. How tough are those to put together?
The big schoolgirl shoots are very challenging to put together, as you would imagine. Lots to coordinate and it is a large expense. I do it because I want to offer the occasional massive production that you won’t find on other sites. I strive hard to be the best, to offer the greatest spanking sites. I sincerely want members to be able to get great entertainment
and dazzling productions with a variety of spanking styles, something they won’t typically get elsewhere.
Who are your favorite spanking models?
This will be really difficult for me to answer as many spanking models are also my friends and I wouldn’t want to leave anyone out. I am sure you can figure out by how much I work with Veronica Ricci, that she is one
of my favorites. Also Kay Richards (aka Kymberly Jane). I can name Christy Cutie as an up and comer who I love to work with and she is growing into a bigger role in the Sorority site. And Snow Mercy is always amazing. Missy
Rhodes shoots many fetishes, but is an outstanding spanking model. Okay so I guess I did name some of my favorites. There are lots of great ones out there! Thankfully.
How do you find them?
There is no set way to find a model. I mean you can go through an agency and find that rare gem (like Anikka Albrite). I met Veronica Ricci on a film shoot. I just shot someone yesterday named Raine, who I met at
a party. She was amazing and I predict will be a big spanking star. Sometimes I seek them out through fet-life – which is how I connected with Missy Rhodes and Christy Cutie. Kymbely Jane answered a Craig’s List ad when she was 21
and Clare named her Kay Richards that day.
How about I give you a model’s name and you tell me a bit about her?
Veronica Ricci –
Brings amazing energy to a scene. Can take and give super hard spankings. Quirky sense of humor. Will do anything she can to make a scene sensational – and wants to get spanked so hard she is left with marks.
Exlusive to my sites for spanking. Creative and beautiful. Wow, right?Sarah Gregory –
I consider Sarah a good friend with a big heart. She is aspanko through and through. Secret: she has an amazing voice – if you see her ask her to sing a show tune:

Kay Richards
– One of the funniest people I have ever met. She could go up on stage and just read the phone book and bring down the hosue with laughter.Madison Martin
– Another one with an amazing singing voice. Also a great dancer. No one can shake a booty like her!

She is rising up the porn ladder so quickly I think it will be harder to get her to shoot spanking scenes. She can spank surprisingly hard.
Kayla Synz
Love her as top though!
– She shot out quickly with us. Once she got connected with Playboy she didn’t want to shoot spanking anymore.
Snow Mercy
– I believe she is the top domme in the biz. Tall and beautiful. She also has a PhD and can teach science in college.
Anyone else we should be on the lookout for?
I mentioned Raine. Be on the look out for her. She’s a keeper.
How often do you shoot?
It varies but probably averages out to be about once per week.
Take us through a typical shoot, (are any typical)?
There is no typical shoot. Sometimes there are 2 models and it is a 3 hour shoot. Sometimes I shoot all day and there
are multiple models (this is more typical).
What happens if a model is a no-show?
f only 2 models are scheduled and one is a no-show, it is a disaster. It has happened. If there are more than 2 models, I can do something to adjust, but that is not without complications. If you see the Cinderella spanking story on Girl Spanks Girl up now, you will notice that there is only one step-sister instead of two – that is because the
second step-sister was a no-show.
Do they ever have attitudes?
Most of the spanking models I work with are friendly, or at least professional. Ocassionaly there is a negative attitude. But never had to fire or spank any model for attitude.
Seems like mostly it would be a fun day, how long does it take to set up and shoot?
Takes me about 45 mins. to set up the shoot and about an hour to pack it all up. The shoots run from 3 to 6 hours.
I rent locations. It is work, but yes, mostly the shoots are very fun. No denying that. Certain models can make it even more entertaining – the light-hearted but solid worker types.
We love strong women spankers. Did you stop shooting Clare Spanks Men?
ah Audrey, how we miss you and your paddle….
I tried to stop running Clare Spanks Men because I am not too interested in working with dudes (often adds a weird dynamic to the shoot), but I got a lot of emails rom fans to keep it open and as long as it continues to do well, and it has, I will keep it going. I shoot mostly a volunteer guy for POVs – that doesn’t show his face – and focuses on the women spankers but I try to do some shoots with a guy who will show his face for those who like that too. I used a guy
named Logan recently and am searching for a new face-showing dude.
Hello, did you hear that? Time to contact the Cameraman. If you twitter, message him.: @thecameramanCFW
Thanks so much for giving us a few minutes of your time. Tell Clare “hi” and we miss her. And keep the great content coming!
Someone's Gonna Get It 
Thanks for the interview!
Are you kidding? Thank you!
Nice to get to know a little bit about “the man behind the camera”!
