Can’t help ya there, but if you’re in TX and want to make some art that may hang in a gallery or online, lmk!
(I do check ID at photo shoots, for obvious reasons)

Do you have one that does the opposite? I’m pretty sure 80% of my “followers” are bots or inactive, based on lackluster engagement. I’d rather kick myself off their feed, I’m not chasing counts.

My IG is dormant, but I’m happy to see more independent models joining here!

I think we’re talking about the same place, basically above the nude part of Baker Beach? I’d love to see yours too!

Very true! I appeal, it takes forever for them to human-review, but I haven’t had an appeal denied once they do.

But at least our accounts aren’t shadow-banned or suspended because of it!

Thanks for sharing! Always looking to follow more art models here, even if they're way too far away to collab with!

Always love a beach shoot!

I *really* wish both photographers and models would trash Meta for good and join BlueSky. Really, the whole experience here is so much better

I've shot there before too! It's a lovely location, and I really dig how you captured the stairs here. If you're interested, I'll post a few. It was fun dodging the tourists :)

I love this one! The back lighting, the movement in the pose, the styling. It's low key giving Helmut Newton

le sigh... why is it that when I finally see excellent art models popping up here on 🦋, they're too far away to work with?
March 30, 2025 at 1:29 AM
Well done!
March 30, 2025 at 1:25 AM
Both! I love seeing work from fellow creatives here without the censorship or fan-service focus.

Every social media platform has pretty much forced me to ignore follower counts and engagement, since I don’t have time to play their games.

But at least here, my unseen shout outs to the universe can be authentic and uncensored!
