Giulia Bianchini - processed with a new piece of software - Evoto. Initial impressions are positive but have only used it on 3 images so far. I think it did a better job on this image than Portraitpro.

While I appreciate @bsky.app @support.bsky.team for giving nude art a home on social media - CAN WE PLEASE, for the love of all things holy, address the erroneous tagging of artistic nude images as “Adult Content: Explicit Sexual Images”

Not sure if I've uploaded this before but it warrants reposting. A shot from a TFP project with someone who contacted me on @purpleport.com some years ago. Had an amusing shoot as the studio was also being used by someone as their home and he hadn't been informed that it had been hired out.

Beyond the gaze, into the art. Exploring form, texture, and emotion through the lens of artistic nude photography. It's about seeing, feeling, and appreciating the masterpiece that is the human body.

📸I’ll be doing more remote shoots at epic locations in Andorra & Monaco for late June & early July. Maybe even in Italy Isle of Elba in August if there is enough interest 😊 Choose from old buildings or structures, natural landscapes in nature or water backgrounds to get a great vibe for the shoot! 😁
