Sanctions are an important measure that the Australian Government must enforce on Israel to aid in stopping the genocidal war crimes and atrocities committed against innocent Palestinian civilians, on Palestinian land.
#sanctionisrael

What an incredible turnout in support of Palestine 🇵🇸
Right around Australia, people marched through their cities and towns in huge numbers. People from all walks of life gathered together, united for Palestine!
The depraved inhumanity of genocide cannot be ignored!
#sanctionisrael

It’s symbolic in the sense that, when has any verbal or non binding action done anything to stop Israels genocide. Sanctions Now.

And so they should! Our government has totally lost the plot. Most things coming out of the Middle East stem from Israels unpunished genocide of Palestinian civilians.

In the wilderness with Sarah.

The beauty of a #nudeportrait is that it doesn’t need to be considered art to hold meaning, but it can still be art. What matters is that it respectfully captures and portrays the human in frame, honouring them as their own unique person!

We made a bunch of great photos together!

I love the contrast that can be achieved through working with direct sunlight. The way it interacts with human skin is stunning, capturing the reflective and detailed nature of our largest organ. This photo of Rose evaded me for months but it is one of my favourite nude portraits of her.

If Australia cared about racism, the voice to parliament would have been successful, if Australia cared about racism, our government would have taken action against Israel’s genocide… It’s pretty clear that racism is running rife here and around the world 😕

We both suffered from the freezing cold, clear sky conditions. Kaysea more-so, but the pleasant warmth of the sun was our reward for our commitment to the location and creating during winter!

A nude portrait of a young woman with dark, shoulder length hair in, black and white. Posed standing and side on to the viewer, her body faces into the light creating highlights along her front and shadow down her back. Her closed eye gaze is directly towards camera, slightly to the right. Her upright, strong pose has her chest slightly pressed out, shoulders back and has her viewer-facing hand on hip, creating a triangle with her arm, through her elbow to shoulder. Her other arm rests by her side, mostly obscured from view. Her legs are straight but due to her side on position her front leg is fully visible while the furthest is mostly obscured but providing stability by a slight positioning to her rear, making the heel visible. Clear blue sky which is darkened by the black and white edit contrasts the light reflected by her skin as she stands atop a rocky platform beneath her feet. Shadowy trees in the background break up the lighter sky to the left of frame and along the lower 3rd of the frame. The frame is in portrait orientation and the woman fills the full height of the frame, but only occupies the middle most left hand quarter of the horizontal frame.

There are positives and negatives to both the summer and winter solstice. I love the long, light days of summer and the warmth but winter provides a different light, free from the intense, damaging UV rays that radiate and harm our skin.

It can absolutely be worth it, one of my favourite nude portraits is also under very similar conditions! Although digital. It was almost a photo I didn’t process due to the seemingly harsh conditions. It helped me learn to love bright sunny days 😊

Btw Instagram has burned me for the last time, from now on all my content will be posted here and on my Flickr. You'll be seeing a lot more of me!

Beautiful #nudeportrait! The emotion is heart warming.

Well said!

I recently decided to try appeal the various inaccurate content labels that had been wrongfully applied to my account and posts.
It’s with relief that both my account and posts are now all labeled as non-sexual nudity (artistic), as they should be.

That’s progressive and democratic social media!

Memories of two years ago with Kaysea. This image was a hidden gem! I left it predominantly natural, with minimal editing.

Instability in the world is something none of us needs. End the invasion of Ukraine and the Genocide of Palestine.

These stains on humanity can only bring us all down.

If it looks or sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!

Probably, spam… Be careful!

At f/1.4 I missed the focus on a bunch of photos. I can only imagine how much nicer it could have been but this moment is my fave of a bad bunch. It could be more out of focus and still be alright 😂

Availability of diversity in commercial photography has probably really only been a thing over the past 10 years, less so before then. Even now it seems pretty limited and still mostly conservative. Nude diversity is a whole different thing and mostly still hiding on conservative platforms 😕

That's incredible to hear! It must be a thing then because I have spoken to a young woman with a similar family connection to having posed nude. I can imagine it would be very empowering and normalising to have a supportive parent.

That's life, isn't it!

Thanks for sharing 😊

Incredible! When I read your previous post about Nicole in 1994, I wondered if she would have continued with her modelling or how her life panned out after doing a nude shoot.
Globally, we don't see nearly enough representation of women beyond the ages of 30!

Such incredible nude portraits! Absolutely love them 😊

💯💯 🇺🇦

Yep! 🥳

Celebrating the public release of Flashes! Back to Nature, with Kaysea.

Single image, for sure! Groups are alright for happy snaps. Art looks better when it stands out.
