Alex La Cruz, New York-based photographer and director known for his daring imagery, says that his latest project Shot Just For You is a way to redefine the ever-changing sphere of adult content. On the newly-launched membership streaming website, La Cruz collaborated on a collection of 50 highly stylized and intimate erotic films and photo series with a wide range of creatives - from adult performers such as Igor Kolomiyets or our good friend Sean Ford, to burlesque star Gia Genevieve and fashion models Owen Lindberg and Charlie Himmelstein.
To celebrate the launch of the platform, we had a quick chat with Igor (who appears in 10 hot videos on the page) about the scene he found the most exciting to shoot, his favourite kinks, and changes he would like to see in today’s porn industry.
Why did you want to work with Shot Just for You? What do you like about this concept?
I wanted to work with Alex because it seemed like a new, innovative and fun way to create adult content.
Which scene did you find the most exciting to shoot?
I really enjoyed the scene where I had glitter poured all over my body - I felt like a superstar in the night sky, and that I was sexy, cute and hot.

What type of porn do you like to watch the most and why?
I like learning, so porn that has educational value where I discover something I haven’t known before is always fascinating to watch.
What are your favourite kinks?
Being a Dominatrix, a Queen, and being treated like her Royal Majesty.
What changes would you like to see in the porn industry as it currently stands today?
More mainstream media acceptance, the erosion of judgement and an increase in acceptance and approval. Validation and realization that pornstars are not only human beings, but also that their work is not taboo. It is simple, acceptable, elegant and known to all, rather than hidden and treated as something negative. I’d like to see pornstars be observed in the same way as someone enjoying a cup of coffee, delivering french fries, or tending to their garden. I’d like to see especially the modelling industry stop being so judgemental of pornstars and pretending as if they are unworthy of being fashion models just because they engage in the very human act that is at the basis of every porn scene.
Who’s the hottest pornstar of all time?
Allen from Sean Cody circa 2014.
