Black, white and Denisa. With @denisastrakova.bsky.social from our recent shoot in Ottawa. Experimenting with black curtains and light. These photos are also shared on Instagram with no issues. I'm labelling them "Artistic Nudity." Let's see what the BlueSky bot does.

A shower of tulle surrounds Serafina (not currently on BlueSky) as she parts the curtains for a better view. #fineartnude #artisticnude #notsexuallyexplicit

A few weeks ago I participated in a Naked in the House competition organized by @modeladventurer.bsky.social. Each photographer had one hour to shoot with a surprise model (@kalopsiahhh.bsky.social) in a surprise location (artist's studio). ... Continued in comments.

"Pulling together" with @jaybanmodel.bsky.social and @modeljorge007.bsky.social, from our shoot last Saturday. #fineartnude #notsexuallyexplicit

The ghost whispers her secret, then casts her spell. With @modeladventurer.bsky.social and @lucyartmodel.bsky.social. #fineartnude #notsexuallyexplicit #ghost #motionblur

"All hands on deck!" With @alexiafx.bsky.social at a scenic lookout along a hiking trail in Ottawa. #notsexuallyexplicit #fineartnude #artisticnudity

@muirinafae.bsky.social poses under some paper lanterns. From her recent visit to Ottawa. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #notsexuallyexplicit

An anonymous photo of a pregnant model from many years ago. I was experimenting with shadows on the figure from a venetian blind. I think this worked well.

Four photos of Aly, a full-figured life drawing model in Ottawa, when she was 8 months pregnant. #artisticnude #fineartnude #nonsexualnudity #notsexuallyexplicit

Another photo of @minhly-model.bsky.social in Gatineau Park (Québec, Canada). I've titled this "Rock Garden."

From a shoot in Gatineau Park with @minhly-model.bsky.social several years ago. I call this one "The Light at the End of the Tunnel."

Time for an abstract bodyscape. With a local model (not on BlueSky). #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #bodyscape #curves #abstractnude

Already blocked three accounts with porn (e.g., closeup videos of explicit sex) that reposted my art nudes. See the note in my bio. Who's next? I don't have a problem with erotic images that are tastefully done.

Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (with only 2 senators, of course) and plans to use economic force to pressure us. The tariffs weren't really about fentanyl and illegal border crossings. Canadians say "No fucking way!" and many are boycotting US goods and travel. #Canada #NoTrump #boycott

Reflections of @lilithetch.bsky.social at Studio Bon Soleil in Toronto. Her expression suggests the title "I Dare You." This one probably does qualify as erotic, so I won't complain about the labelling. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #reflection #mirror

More photos from the abandoned paper mill, this time with @gingerox.bsky.social. She was on the concrete floor and I was on a landing above her. Lots of burn & dodge to clean up dirty splotches from rolling around on the floor. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #abandoned #urbex

The scariest photo I have ever taken (details in alt text). My assistant and I both recommended against this, but @denisastrakova.bsky.social was confident and really wanted to do this pose. She succeeded beautifully. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #abandoned #urbex

Another photo from the abandoned paper mill, with model "Flora and Fauna" (Instagram: @florafaunauniverse). #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #abandoned #urbex

Over a 7 year period before Covid I made 20 visits to an abandoned paper mill in Quebec and worked with a total of 26 models. The mill has since been demolished. This is called "Ray of Hope" with local model Sandy (not on here). #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #abandoned #urbex

Another photo from a recent double shoot with @modeljorge007.bsky.social and Flos Lunae (IG: @flos.lunae.model). This one is more suggestive than the previous posts, but still an art nude. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #suggestive #studio #doublepose #twomodels

Two more photos from a recent double shoot with @modeljorge007.bsky.social and Flos Lunae (IG: @flos.lunae.model). #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #studio #doublepose #twomodels

Regarding alt-text for photos: It's useful for vision-impaired people to have a description of photos that accompany a textual post. But do vision-impaired people really browse art nudes to read the detailed pose descriptions? On my last post I described lighting details instead. Thoughts?

Three photos from a double shoot last weekend with @modeljorge007.bsky.social and Flos Lunae (IG: @flos.lunae.model). #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #studio #doublepose #twomodels

Welcome @modeladventurer.bsky.social to BlueSky! Here are some photos from our first photoshoot a bit more than three years ago. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #NOTsexuallyexplicit #outdoors #nudeinnature #femalemodel

Another two-person bodyscape, with that circular backlight again. With Ciara (www.instagram.com/modeladventu...) and Christiana (www.instagram.com/christiana_o...). #bodyscape #duo #backlit

Two person bodyscape with Flos Lunae (www.instagram.com/flos.lunae.m...) and Carmen Ortega (www.instagram.com/carmen.model...). We'll see how BlueSky labels this one. #bodyscape #duo #backlit #Notsexuallyexplicit

More Sarah Marzipanned, this time in the studio. I don't think I need to describe how this was lighted. 😉 #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #backlight #sensuous #NOTsexuallyexplicit

It's not often that I find a wall of glass in the middle of a field, but when I do I take advantage of it. With Sarah Marzipanned (retired from modelling, unfortunately) a few years ago. #fineartnude #artisticnudephoto #glass #reflection #NOTsexuallyexplicit

A little while ago I had the opportunity of collaborating with Photographer @roywhiddon.bsky.social in this concrete yard. I was a lot of fun and a cool day. #nudephotograpy #nudeart #fineartnude #artnudephoto #artisticnude #fineartnudephoto #nudemodel

I think I posted my earlier shot of Liv Sage just before she joined BlueSky, since I couldn't find her account to tag her. So here is the Ikea lamp again, this time tagging @livsage.bsky.social. I've only used this lamp with two models, but I might try it again sometime.

Posing by lamplight, with local model Alexandra and a Japanese lantern-inspired floor lamp from Ikea. #fineartnude #lamplight

"Persephone Dreams of Spring." Based on the Green myth, with Liv Sage (Instagram: @asmallwoman). Nice to share some of my older work here without having to obscure body parts. #fineartnude #greekmyth #persephone

@jaybanmodel.bsky.social in the studio. A simple but expressive pose. Those hands ...

I worked with Vox Serene a couple of years B.C. (Before Covid) and we had fun playing with a shipping pallet and shadows.

This shot was inspired by the classic myth of Leda and the swan. We did a slight variation on the theme. The look on the bird's face inspired me to title this "Cock Unsure." Anonymous model not on BlueSky. Yes, this is real.

Trapped in the evil overlord's spaceship, Minh-Ly (Instagram: @minhly.model) summons her power and presses against the wall of her captivity until it yields to effect her escape.

@fannymuller.bsky.social poses on the inside structure of a geodesic dome.

An experiment with photo-based digital art, featuring @siennahayes.bsky.social. This image selectively blends copies of the original photo, coarsely pixellated along different angles, with the original photo, to yield a slightly ethereal result.

A sensuous shot of the lovely @rileyjade.bsky.social relaxing in an artistic pose on a pile of leaves in the forest.

From a shoot in Gatineau Park (Québec) with Jorge (not on here). I call this one "Fun Guy."

Christmas and the first day of Hanukkah coincide this year. Wishing everyone (religious or not) a happy holiday season, with a special shout-out to those celebrating a Holy Day today.

BlueSky is no longer allowing me to appeal their Adult labels on my non-sexual art nudes. No reason is given, just that the appeal "failed." I'm wondering if there is a limit to the number of outstanding appeals that they allow?

Nature lover @rileyjade.bsky.social expresses her fondness for trees during our last shoot.

Well ... My last post was flagged BOTH "Adult" and "Sexually suggestive" by BlueSky. It won't let me appeal. ☹️ I guess their decision is final. Do you think these images are explicitly sexual?
