The more personal part of my photography, the vulnerability of the naked self, and others too.
ICYMI, my nude art #retrospective (1984 forwards) is in an ongoing thread: https://bsky.app/profile/allablur.bsky.social/post/3lbou4sdlzk2c
Folds and creases (2005)
Although I took this image in Dec 2005 (with the others reposted below) I created the quartet as a standalone artwork in 2006. I spun each image by 90° because it was appropriate in that context.
This is as each alone should be.

From dusk to dawn (2005)
Three months on from that last post and, if nothing else on BlueSky, I want to keep this #retrospective thread moving. To make continuity easier, replies are turned off.😊
I think the concept is self explanatory - for guys this happens.

When I signed off from BlueSky 2 months ago I mentioned that I was busy on Flickr - for there I feel more free to post the full range of my photography. I also did some creating in those 2 months, first for a while, a nod to my erotic self.

Another spontaneous mirror selfie.
Well, it was that on 4th July.

Ashcombe Bottom (2017)

I've not been looking for shots taken #onthisday for a while. Yesterday came up blank, today did better.

Kingston (2004)
When in Kentish Town I was able to produce this style of nude in a huge window - and on film of course. Now, in a new home with normal windows I was pleased to be able to create similar images, now with digital help.

If the mask fits (2004)
This is the exhibited photo referred to in the post in the thread below. I consciously went for colour because it can be too easy to put something into B&W and call it art.

With the painted lady (2004)
It was not until 2004 that I truly started to recapture the art in my images. These are two images from a series - one of which was later exhibited at a London exhibition.

And in 2013's Mayday was the first occasion out there for me walking naked, along the South Downs Way, under the guidance of the one and only Will Golden, who sadly would have had undetected Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in these images.
Truly an experience to remember.

In 2017 it was more serious, stylistically driven self portraiture.

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday
It seems that I was indeed busy #onthisday in years gone by. In 2023 I was casually naked in socks around the house....

Out today with @allstars1618.bsky.social on a first nude hike of the season in the South Downs National Park.

Falling leaves (2011)
Also 14 years ago #onthisday and still out with Jess but in the 1st photo trying to create something all by myself. As art, not a great success but I was obviously enjoying some humour out there!

Fog on Bignor Hill (2011)
It was March and cool, and a few minutes earlier there were glorious views of the South Downs.

Self portrait (2002)
After the weirdness of 1999 my nude photography took a break for a while. We upscaled to a new house in the leafy suburbs of London which had no opportunity for a darkroom. But digital happened - this would have been one of the first casual snaps on my 2MP Nikon point & shoot...

And this is my photo of The Clash from that crowd at the anti Nazi league concert in Victoria Park. My aim was a bit off but it was bouncing out there!

Went up to London today to the Tate Britain Gallery and ‘The 80s: Photographing Britain’ exhibition. I was expecting a full array of documentary photography, which I got, but not art photography including a resplendent golden painted penis and Works by Wolfgang Tillmans. 😍
