Simply by Tomás Harrison New Mexico, 2024 I know, I stink at updating/sharing. But, now and then. One of the more straightforward simple poses/setups we did but sometimes simple is ok, eh? #artnude #figureart #malemodel #artmodel #nudeinnature

Into Questionable Light by April Alston McKay Nevada, 2025 I have a back, too lol! Our backs sometimes don't get enough attention in visual arts but there is a lot going on there. This was a fun challenge trying some different lighting. Not all worked, some did #fineartnude #figurenude #nudeart

Light Trap 📸 April Alston McKay 👤 Avid Light Nevada, 2025 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. #fineartnude #nudephotography #malemodel

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 👏👏👏

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. #hauntseason #hauntedhouse #laurelshouseofhorror

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.

Lots to Think About Painting by @banditalady.bsky.social from recent online draw/paint challenge based on reference image by Chris Lutton of art models Ava Ette and Avid Light @avidlight.bsky.social #figuredrawing #figurepainting #watercolor #lifemodels #artmodels #couple #duo #nonsexualnudity

By Thin Threads 📷 April Alston McKay August 2025, Nevada 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 ;) #fineartnude #fineartphotography #malemodel #artmodel

By Annie Machk from one of my model reference images, selected by "theotherfiguregroup" on IG for their Sep 30 2025 challenge. #figuredrawing #artmodel #lifemodel

Carry by CAL Photography with Ava Ette (IG @ava_ette). MA 2023 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 💝 #fineartnude #duo

Without Chromatophores by April Alston McKay Nevada, 2025 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 #fineartnude #artmodel #artnude

Semi-random throwback; red chalk drawing by Shandy S. based on my long pose during an online workshop taught by Rob Liberace. Does anyone remember that pandemic thingy anymore? This one was "way back" about 5 years ago. #lifedrawing #lifemodel #onlinemodeling

Life Within by April Alston McKay, Nevada 2025 #nudeart #figureart #figurephotography #fineartnude #malemodel

Lounging Friends by Denise Vitollo From online 2+ hour pose with New Orleans Drawing Group a couple years ago. Honored to be part of a model panel discussion with NODG this Thursday! #lifemodel #catmodel #onlinemodeling #nodg

Safe Edginess by April Alston McKay Nevada, 2025 From challenging (for me :) but enriching work with April. Title added by me (sorta fits my vibe both in this pose and generally lol) #artmodel #nudeinnature #fineartnude #fineartphotography

Still with you by CinCin F. from live modeling session a couple years ago. Yeah ... too long. Not all of us have forgotten. Not all of us agree with sucking up to a murderous expansionist dictator. Well, either VP or DT or any such personalities actually. #ukraine #lifemodel

The Sides by April Alston McKay Nevada, 2025 #fineartnude #photography #nudeinnature #malemodel #artmodel

"Welcome Back, Students! Where were we ... ah yes, we can resume our re-education program to make sure your attention and praise are only for JEBEDIAH!" One of my versions of The Teacher at Laurel's House of Horrors, 2024. MUA: Katie L. Costuming: Bliss #hauntedhouse #bodypaint #scareacting

Warming Stone by April Alston McKay Las Vegas, NV area, Aug 2025 It was a little more than just warm ;) but creatively cool place and way to shoot #figurephotography #malemodel #artnude #fineartnude

"You don't like the show anymore and want to EXIT? Hahahaha it's just back there behind my colleague. She'll be happy to help you find the (permanent) EXIT!" MUA: Angelica K. 🏛 Laurel's House of Horrors, 2024 Another random TB to my theater usher doppelganger Leo. #hauntedhouse #bodypaint

Clean Routine By Frank C. from wide view of my long pose during online life modeling with New Orleans Drawing Group a couple years ago. Semi random portfolio share. Looking forward to reconnecting with NODG for a discussion this Sep. #lifedrawing #lifemodel #figuremodel

Blue Hour Wasteland by Tomás Harrison, New Mexico 2024 (film image) It seemed like the temperature was dropping a degree/minute as the sun dropped behind the mountains and the wind picked up...chilly! But worth it for the magical blue light in the burned-out mountain ridges.

From recent collab with terrific PHX-based body paint artist Carrie Esser, who painted me in a henna-inspired design for online life modeling content (other poses will be provided for artist use) #bodypaint #artmodel #onlinelifedrawing #lifemodel

by Brad Bisbey from my online modeling a couple yrs ago w/ New Orleans Drawing Group (NODG, IG @new_orleans_drawing_group) I modeled with them 3x a couple years ago and hope to again; honored to be part of their upcoming artist/model discussion. They have some great artists! #artmodel #portrait

First time fully bubbled! Bubble installation at ChaShaMa gala (NYC) TY 🙏 co-model Emma for vid (IG paintmepretty_please) Slo-mo replay added by me UV bodypaint by @andygolub.bsky.social et al Added to "Who put this on my bucket list?" list lol #bodypaint #chashama #artmodel #bubbleart

By Angela B. from my long pose for an online class by Susan O'Neill, about 5y ago. 2020...a horrific year in several ways. But the dedication to keep creative arts alive while isolated, many of us with loved ones in struggling to survive COVID, was inspiring. #TBT #lifemodel #figureart

Photo and bodypaint design by Carrie Esser of Phoenix Recent collaboration with Carrie, who created this henna-inspired design for an extra challenge for online portrait/figure artists working online. Also test of my home "pop-up studio" and window light. #bodypaint #bodyart #lifemodel

Rendering by Jessica from my 140 min. standing pose with a bow and quiver a few years back at Hyattsville FDG in MD. Posing there often has some artists at interesting/challenging PoVs. Awesome how this artist cropped and worked with it. Miss Jennie so much 🥺 #figuredrawing #lifedrawing #model

Does anyone -- even 1 single human anywhere -- feel there is anything "sexually suggestive" about this pose, view/composition, or artist's rendering? No shade and I won't be upset, I am just honestly wondering -- because the BS monitor labeled it as such. I'm 20x happier with BS than IG but sheesh

Random back throwback from studio shoot a couple years ago. Dang maybe a couple couple years...time flies #artmodel #figurephotography #malenude

Pastel from one of my long pose at a Maryland Hall sesh a couple years ago, by one of my longtime fave Annapolis area artists Judy Summers-Schwartz. Semi-randomly share from modeling portfolio #lifedrawing #lifemodel #figuredrawing #figureart #atmodel

Instructor's work from my 7-class pose a couple years ago. CUA, Washington, DC. Donal MacManus figure art class Posing for sculpture work is an honor ... and challenge, especially with so much cumulative time in a pose like this. My body took a while to forgive me ;) #lifemodel #sculpture

Undead School Teacher MUA: Hayden Cash Luhrman 🏨 Laurel's House of Horrors, Laurel, MD I'd been called many things in my modeling career but not 'ABC Whore' before this. And I don't know why. I only wanted to teach proper respect for JEBEDIAH which has no "C"! #scareactor #hauntedhouse

Eros Still Searching by Kaffee K. from my long pose at a coop drawing session at Maryland Hall - an Eros theme as it was close to V Day :) I love how she rendered so much detail in parts (e.g. pendant) it gains a 3D look Random share from modeling work in last few years #lifedrawing #lifemodel

The king of wands male model for this piece is my BFF @avidlight.bsky.social #art #artmodel

Possession by Chris Lutton, from duo session with Ava Ette in MA (semi randomly sharing examples of recent years' modeling work) #artmodel #duo #couplephotography #figuremodel

Encrusted Reference photo from pose during themed online life modeling session a couple years ago (semi randomly sharing different types of art from my modeling). Session provided a tough challenge for artists to figure out what to do with the cracked plaster texture on the form. #lifemodeling

by Lisa Semerad from my long pose during a class of hers in Alexandria VA a couple years ago. (what's extra cool was that she drew this while also instructing and helping the students) #lifedrawing #lifemodel #figuredrawing #figureart

Cool treatment by Barb B. from a long pose in Annapolis, MD a couple years ago. Gradually reorganizing years of modeling stuff and figured one in blue media was a good pick for BS ;) #figuremodel #figuredrawing #artmodel #lifemodel

"Thinly Veiled" by Michael McDonald from 2023 shoot near Boston MA (title and cropping by me) I'll never have a huge bodybuilder bod; I've learned to be OK with that. No shade to extremely built models...respect 🤘 Improvement, fitness: great! Obsessing w/ trying to be someone you're not: nope.
