Terrific locations and results from this collaboration. For some reason I like when the making of an image was both more and less difficult than viewers probably guess :) Hardly any editing here.

Gotta love blood red and black together!

There are like so, so many better and more urgent and productive ways to spend a quarter bill. Unless personal vanity is more important to you than other humans or your country. Does anyone actually believe the $ will all come from DJT and donors? We'll end up actually paying for it as always

AI-images do not arise from the struggles, triumphs, joys, and wounds of the human heart. So there are no AI images in this book! tinyurl.com/yrv9brbf Model Society is dedicated to human models & photographers. Discover The Nature of Human Beauty! Artwork by @poorxphoto.bsky.social & Kyotocat 👏👏👏

It's my honor to be included, in an image by April Alston McKay, this very non-AI very actual-human very beautiful book that celebrates the human<>nature connection!

Awesome work and cool to see you also worked with cal.bodies -great stuff! I should be home (near Tucson) early Dec. -- DM or email if you need a contact or stop in southern AZ on your tour. Safe travels!

You're left handed like me (and many of the best creatives lol)?

I can hardly wait to see her again - the beautiful Miss Laurel of Laurel's House of Horror in Maryland! She's so dreamy, and, well, only a little blood-splattered! Next weekend.

Coming soon: The Human Form in Nature: A Fine Art Photography Book Nude Art Models and Photographers Celebrating Human Beauty in Nature

This exquisite book of nude models in nature has been a refuge. While the news spirals in the background, we’ve assembled hundreds of pristine life-affirming images that celebrate humanity and nature as one work of art. FOLLOW THE KICKSTARTER. We’re launching tomorrow.

Powerful pose and compo!

Woah really love that! Great pose and epic feel

Part of the point is to give people some hope they are not alone, voiceless, or overwhelmed. So they do things like, you know, vote.

Omg all those extremist terrorists lol

Very cool!!

Thank you for that sentiment :)

Yup that's the episode we're trapped in.

It was hot, and a little adventurous for sure. But not too terrifying, thanks to April's pre-planning and experience -- so we could collaborate and create a lot, with only minimal fear ;)

Hey if I can do it, you sure can :) Sure, especially for nude art, bias towards young and female is common. NOT universal! As others said, you're beautiful AND there is beauty at every age. Hey I'm 800% older, a guy, and not a body builder but there are at least a couple folks following my work :)

Beautiful work by both !

Gee no one saw that coming eh?

Oh I think removing all the skin would def help slow down time for the eve. Like, a lot.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I was def tired and hot a lot (and tbh sometimes a little nervous lol) but so worth it. I was pretty confident April wasn't tryna get me kilt or maimed, but indeed composing a couple of the most epic sets :) Honored to see Model Society has featured some

Really love the color contrast and iconic look on this one !

Super love the combination of pose and lighting in this

Revisiting collab we pulled off well considering we hadn't worked together and were both hit with life life drama at the time! We let that influence posing, some.

Loving AZ but do miss east coast creative friends 💝

Without Chromatophores
by April Alston McKay

Title by me inspired by reflecting different hues from the different natural light angles and cliffs. Chameleons use chromatophores to match surroundings; did best we could without relying on that or edits

Always beautiful work. I'm used to both "ew, old" *and* "ew, a dude" lol But I figure it's a good day if that kinda BS is the worst people have to complain about online (and, we're still here to deal with it sukkkas :)
