An amazing pose. All credit to Perrin, who I don't think is on this platform #yoga #bwphotography #fineartnude #boxset

A couple years ago, @danehalo.bsky.social was kind enough to work with me for a few minutes after another session at the studio I helped manage. I loved that big mirror. #fineartnude #artisticnude #nudenotnaked #reflection #mirror #redhead

Selections from my Box Set.

YouTube video by Standart The Man Who Shot Beautiful Women | Erwin Blumenfeld

It’s on YouTube: youtu.be/CF1GTkoQ5mk?...

Have you seen the documentary about him, The Man Who Shot Beautiful Women? That’s quite good.

I just finished the autobiography last week. He deserves to be much better known.

Another motion study with @viviancove.bsky.social, showing my current iteration and the same crop with only the LR adaptive B&W profile added to the RAW file. Inspiration from Edgerton and Muybridge. #motion #bwphotography #monochrome #fineartnude

Thanks!

@viviancove.bsky.social lit by stroboscopic speedlights. One edit is tweaked by various Lightroom masks to balance the body and arm exposures, the other is a version without the masks. #bwphotography #motion #artisticnude #fineartnude #nudenotnaked #stroboscopic

I'm assembling a portfolio of 15 photos to apply for a gallery membership. I'm trying to decide which of these 3 should be included. Decisions, decisions... #artisticnude #fineartnude #bwphotography #nudenotnaked

Making some new work with @innabgnyc.bsky.social, trying out some simple ideas and thinking how to build upon them. #artisticnude #fineartnude #bwphotography #nudenotnaked #silhouette #profile #portrait

From 2017, with @whitney-masters.bsky.social, the only time I've worked with her. I hadn't checked out this corner of my archive in a long time, so it's nice to find one like this. #fashion #abandonedspace #colorphotography #fucktrump

Dig the contrasty look.

From 2010 with @katlynlacoste.bsky.social, edited today to try out some textures, trying to make their skin look like stone. #fineartnude #nudenotnaked #artisticnude #nude #texture #bwphotography

I came across this image from 2012 in a box while looking for photos for our walls. The sheen is from yet another tortured tone curve and a bit of color grading. The model is no longer active. #fineartnude #artisticnude #nudenotnaked #monochromatic #solarized

Picture a tone curve shaped like an m, with peaks at roughly 1/4 and 3/4, and a dip at about 1/2 of the span. I tweaked the exposure on her face to avoid some distortion there that I didn't care for.

Thanks! The effect is a tortured tone curve.

An image from what is still one of the very best sessions I have ever had. It's a shame I never managed to work with this model again. #fineartnude #solarized #nudenotnaked #artisticnude #nudeyoga #yoga #monochrome

Two treatments of the first photo I took for my box series with @katlynlacoste.bsky.social, whom I've worked with since 2008, longer than any other model. I dig the attitude Katlyn shows here. #fineartnude #nudenotnaked

What is @iamkatriella.bsky.social's story here? #fineartnude #bwphotography #nudenotnaked #boxset #ihatehashtagsforonethingI'msureAIusesthem

I made this wreath about 40 years ago from pruned grapevines at the house I grew up in. With @iamkatriella.bsky.social at the old studio. #bwphotography #highcontrast

AI has its uses. #livingingtrumpistan #fucktrump

The goal was intimidation.

Lovely.

Box series image with @anoushanou.bsky.social. There is a wonderful variety of looks and feelings in every one of these sets. #fineartnude #artisticnude #nudenotnaked
