"Thirsty" A day late on @mandiimonarch.bsky.social's b-day, I see from other posts, but if you hang tight for a day or two more, I may finally be through editing this fun, silly, naughty session from nearly a year ago now. With @riahjolynn.bsky.social at Raccoon Creek in New Jersey. Happy belated!

"Remembrance Stone" I should do more composites. They often transmute into something so much more evocative than the original frame; this one feels like a vague grasp on a memory. With @haleyvalentiine.bsky.social. Using a detail shot of the wall that surrounded us. #artnude #intimatephotography

"The Relaximist" I'm prone to inventing a portmanteau for use as a title, or, in this case, just making up a word. 'Relaximizing' was coined as the opposite of 'maximizing,' and birthed the title here. Again, I present a sexy alternate to a cover I designed, though I do like this original. #artnude

"Deep Declaration" There's many ways to say 'I love you,' but when you say it on the waistband of a pair of panties, it really makes an impression on you—while also making a noticeable impression on her. Model: @anamolly.bsky.social #artnude #intimatephotography #redhead

"Carrion" Another re-imagined album cover using sexier imagery. I thought I'd share the new cover, my original photo (of @kristyjessica.bsky.social) it uses, and the more standard cover it theoretically replaces. Sometimes I like my original covers, but here it was hastily done, and... meh. #artnude

"Follow Me" It was suggested I apply to join Model Society, which I did, and I went through my archive to find the required submissions for review. I'm curious if they'll accept my style as compatible with their mission statement, though. I'm kind of guessing not. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Luminous" Is it wrong to be jealous of light itself? The setting sun finds @zoecwest.bsky.social with such resolute purpose that her skin tone is reflected onto the surrounding trees. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Commuter" A slight variation on the setup I envisioned, so I'm giving it a slight variation on the title I intended to give it: The Commute. @lucymagdalene.bsky.social gave a little manspread into the aisle of the train, which made me laugh. #artnude #intimatephotography

Realizing I never threw an @ivysublime.bsky.social shot on Bluesky. From the end of 2025. Love to work with her again. #bnw #artnude

"Shredded" A quick something from yesterday's shoot with @mighty1earthling.bsky.social. It's kind of fun to get something with the express purpose of wrecking it. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Just Heels" It's tough to express a layered thought process in the limited characters available, so I've bailed on it after half a dozen attempts. This is from September of 2025, with Inna. #artnude #intimatephotography

A Mighty Earthling has landed on Bluesky at @mighty1earthling.bsky.social. Great model, cool person. You can give her a follow. We've got a session coming up next month; meanwhile, here's one from our session in November of last year. #artnude #intimatephotography

Recently posted a shot I took with Sandra last fall, because I was only just getting around to editing that session. After a three month moratoruim from shooting, here's a fresh one with Sandra taken this very day. What a jewel she is. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Memory Loss" Mom was suffering from dementia when she had the stroke that ushered her to death. As the picture guy, I took possession of the family photo albums, some of which had met catastrophic water damage. Before I disposed of them, I photographed some of the pages, which felt poignantly apt.

I've taken so many window light photos, I decided I needed to add 'window' to my Lightroom keywords. Pretty late in the game to make such a retroactive decision, plus scanning the archive has me stopping to edit shots that catch my eye, like this shot of Sandra in Philly last year. #artnude #bnw

"Smother Me" Another image worked into faux album art. It was years before I made the connection that my affinity for the square was probably due my deep love for album graphics. #artnude #graphicdesign #bnw

Slowly making my way through old photo sessions. I don't know if it's just winter, but I've been moving like molasses through my lethargy, despite severely limiting new shoots. I found this one of @meghanclaire.bsky.social and @astridkallsen.bsky.social intriguing, despite being a misfire. #artnude

"Flit" I like to make faux album art for my playlists. I've been doing it since the 90s. Had to crop in a lot for you to notice the focal point of the title—the butterfly—that happened to be in shot with @astridkallsen.bsky.social in this relic of a tub on a hot summer day. #artnude #graphicdesign

Flashing back to last summer with @kristyjessica.bsky.social as I was scrolling through past photoshoots to see if anything would be cool as faux album art. #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

After working through a highly conceptual, post-process focused project with @anastasiamaye.bsky.social, we had time left over, so we played with the idea of high fashion posing in a low fashion outfit. A sweet bonus from burning clock, letting her move as she wanted. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Good Morning!" Starting off strong in 2026. I was able whittle my vision down to a palatable two words: imperfectly sexy. Like when that cute nightie you wore gets twisted around while you sleep. Relatable, human, but still adorably sexy. Model: Lavish Crystal #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

Happy new year! Haven't put up a photo in a while. It felt a little weird cross-pollinating my comments on a local radio event, so I let my account sit for a bit. This is Mighty Earthling from November of last year, right at my house. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Naughty Seamstress" Assembling a year-end review for that other platform, but it's hard to find IG-appropriate stuff from some sessions. I'm cooking up plans for next year, and I'm hoping @mandiimonarch.bsky.social and @riahjolynn.bsky.social will be part of them. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Joie de vivre" This was the last shot I took during my session with Sandrah. I love that a woman in her 40s decided to start jumping on the bed. I snapped it, looked at it (since you never know what you'll get in energetic poses), and said "Yup, that's the one." #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

"Peeks & Valleys" Mostly I threw this up here so I didn't forget that I thought of this title for it, which made me laugh. With Kristy Jessica (@kristyjessica.bsky.social)in Utah. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Panties In A Bunch" The lovely Inna, from a shoot at a Philadelphia riverfront apartment. I love to take shots that are elegant and empowering, perhaps even insightful, but I've had fun this year with shots that acknowledge that a nude woman is also just so sexy. #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

"Thermodynamism" Not really a word, somewhat surprisingly, but an apt portmanteau. The desert is chilly as hell in the morning. In the golden glow of first light, is @kristyjessica.bsky.social absorbing the heat, or generating it? And how about you—getting warm? #artnude #intimatephotography

"Pistols At Dawn" @kristyjessica.bsky.social throws some shapes at daybreak. Kristy herself is a pistol (def. 2: a notably sharp, spirited, or energetic person — Merriam-Webster); and, doubled up by her shadow, that's how we arrive at the title. Aren't I clever. #artnude #intimatephotography

Though I just shot with her this weekend, my mind wandered back to this composite from my previous session with @mandiimonarch.bsky.social last winter, making this part of the series revisiting my archive. If you're gonna be haunted, it may as well be like this. #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

"The Welcoming Angels" Between Matisse's "The Dance" and "The VVitch" lies this disorienting image, shot looking downward into an arced mirror embedded in the earth at Sperlak Gallery in south Jersey. Featuring @astridkallsen.bsky.social and @meghanclaire.bsky.social. #artnude #intimatephotography
