Photographs of a model in the shower behind slightly frosted glass. The water is running, creating a dippled effect to the teal light surrounding her.

Candlelit art portrait photograph. The subject is a dark haired woman seated bare chested in front of a painterly backdrop. There is a wooden table to her right with a brace of candles on them. She is holding and slightly strumming a mandolin, a look a far away thoughts on her face.

I barely shoot horizontal format. Which is odd given just how much of an environment you can capture when you do. Social media bias maybe?

Taken somewhere in New Jersey, at the height of Spring.

I love these shots because they are a little bit art portrait, a little bit still painting. I need to do more like these.

A portrait photograph in a still art painting style, of an auburn haired woman posed in front of a window, light pouring in and illuminating her from behind. She leans elegantly to the side against a small table set with summer flowers, in a long russett robe.

Keira Grant. Taken in a converted loft space in Baltimore MD.
Art nude portrait of an athletically fit woman, posed outstretched on a wall by a window. Her arms arc upwards above her head, pulling her torso taught and to the side. The light from the window pours over her side, further sculpting the definition in her muscles.

Reflections on a Moment. With @hexhypoxia.bsky.social in Baltimore, many years ago.

A conceptual photograph. A woman sits on a weathered wooden floor in an unfinished room in front of a mirror propped on the plywood walls. Her gaze down towards the floor is caught in the mirrors reflection, in subtle shades of golden light.

Throwback to 2015 or 2016? Shot at one of my favorite waterfalls in Maryland.

#portrait #photography #nature #waterfall
A portrait photograph. The subject of the photo is a young woman standing knee deep in water next to a rocky outcrop. She is wearing a fitted deep v neck bikini with slits down the front and sides. Her long black hair cascades past her shoulders, caressing her dark skin. Behind her a waterfall spills and churns the water around her.

From a while ago, in an old industrial elevator. With Artistique Physique.

#nude #artnude #fitness #portrait #photography #notexplicit
Art nude portrait photograph of a nude woman in the corner of an old industrial elevator. The wide angle lens perspective of the camera shooting upwards exaggerates and accentuates the well toned and fit physique of the model, who is twisted into the corner in a pose that further enhances her figure.

Was going to post a hard edged fitness muscle mommy pic of Kiera Grant but this soft light window portrait of @tinyvoss caught my eye and wouldn’t let go.

Art nude portrait of the model tinyvoss. She leans against the wall facing the viewer, with soft light pouring from the window behind her and wrapping her figure. Her dark hair cascades down her sides and past her arms, which are cupped over her head and cradling a bouquet of white flowers.

Well, color me slow, but I just discovered that @bsky.app has been tagging most of my photos with the “Explicit Sexual Activity” label. Honestly, Im disappointed. Ive been raving about this platform to fellow creatives as a refreshing alternative to Meta’s heavy-handed censorship and X’s toxicity.

“Wake Up”. With @astridkallsen.bsky.social

#artnude #nude #photography #abandoned
Art nude photograph of a woman standing in a broken down abandoned building. Crumbled debris is strewn around on the ground around her, and the roof has given way, allowing light to pour down on her face and outstretched arms. On a door frame behind her the words “Wake Up” have been scrawled in graffiti.
