"Scrapyard Daydream" This is why clothes should stay in the frame. An outdoor nude inherently crosses societal boundaries, but the presence of the dress creates a story where @tiffanypichon.bsky.social has found a clandestine spot to luxuriate with the sun on her skin. #artnude #intimatephotography

Cool monochrome of a nude woman reclining deeply, basking in the sun, atop two tractor-sized tires, in a field strewn with machinery and construction supplies. Her sun dress is also draped over the tires, behind her shoulder.

"Aspirational" I don't know if people tend to hate these stylized portraits, but I like them. Taken as the sun set, the high ISO lent itself to artsy post-production. I asked Kayla if the tattoo was aspirational, or if she had posed for Playboy. Her answer is the title. #artnude #intimatephotography

A woman with multicolored dreadlocks, mostly turned away from the camera, lowers her white shorts to reveal a red Playboy bunny tattoo on her right hip. She is stood in front of circular bale of hay that is as tall as she is. Draped onto the hay is a red-and-white checked blanket, as well as her discarded top.

@isagabriellaaa.bsky.social has just joined Bluesky, so give her a follow.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I told Isa I feel like removed clothes should remain in the frame. No title here, it's just spicier than the variant I put on IG, but not as spicy as many from the session were, so I'm not posting more explicit images of the model than already exist on this site. #artnude #intimatephotography

"Crumbling Empire" Things move along so quickly that I usually end up posting only one shot per session. Revisiting my train shoot with @lucymagdalene.bsky.social from a few months ago, I realize how badly I'm shortchanging myself, and her, and you. #artnude #bnw #intimatephotography

Black and white nude of a woman with long blond ringlets posed in the window of an abandoned, defaced train car. Rust, graffiti, and peeling paint intermingle. The word "Empire," embossed onto the side of the carriage in block lettering, remains legible through the decay.

"The Off-Road Less Taken" @jademariemodel.bsky.social demonstrates the trouble you can get up to once you leave the well-worn path. Processed to make it feel a bit like a faded postcard. #artnude #intimatephotography

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

"Apron" I found a really nice apron in a artisanal shop: once size fits all, straps that crisscross across the back. It's nine-tenths of the way to being a dress, except it doesn't close in the back. @alicetakeover.bsky.social demonstrates why I was wise to purchase it. Studio: Raccoon Creek.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

"Thirsty" A day late on @mandiimonarch.bsky.social's b-day, I see from other posts, but if you hang tight for a day or two more, I may finally be through editing this fun, silly, naughty session from nearly a year ago now. With @riahjolynn.bsky.social at Raccoon Creek in New Jersey. Happy belated!

A tall redheaded woman stands topless in a short black skirt, delicately wiping an eye. Seated beside her, a blond woman in a white dress adorned with a cherry pattern, her head at the chest height of the redhead. She is sat with hands folded in her lap, eyeing the redhead's bare breasts and licking her lips.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

"Remembrance Stone" I should do more composites. They often transmute into something so much more evocative than the original frame; this one feels like a vague grasp on a memory. With @haleyvalentiine.bsky.social. Using a detail shot of the wall that surrounded us. #artnude #intimatephotography

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

"The Relaximist" I'm prone to inventing a portmanteau for use as a title, or, in this case, just making up a word. 'Relaximizing' was coined as the opposite of 'maximizing,' and birthed the title here. Again, I present a sexy alternate to a cover I designed, though I do like this original. #artnude

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

"Deep Declaration" There's many ways to say 'I love you,' but when you say it on the waistband of a pair of panties, it really makes an impression on you—while also making a noticeable impression on her. Model: @anamolly.bsky.social #artnude #intimatephotography #redhead

A blue pair of cotton panties with 'I love you' stitched into the waistband is pictured in close up, with red pubic hair spilling over the top. The woman's hand is pinching and tugging slightly at the waistband.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

"Carrion" Another re-imagined album cover using sexier imagery. I thought I'd share the new cover, my original photo (of @kristyjessica.bsky.social) it uses, and the more standard cover it theoretically replaces. Sometimes I like my original covers, but here it was hastily done, and... meh. #artnude

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

"Follow Me" It was suggested I apply to join Model Society, which I did, and I went through my archive to find the required submissions for review. I'm curious if they'll accept my style as compatible with their mission statement, though. I'm kind of guessing not. #artnude #intimatephotography

A woman on a long dirt-and-gravel path flanked by long grasses throws her last item of clothing, a white cotton tank top back toward the camera as she walks away.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

"Luminous" Is it wrong to be jealous of light itself? The setting sun finds @zoecwest.bsky.social with such resolute purpose that her skin tone is reflected onto the surrounding trees. #artnude #intimatephotography

A dark-haired woman is illuminated from behind as she stands between two rough-barked trees. Her pink floral sundress has been unfastened and dropped to her thighs.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

"Commuter" A slight variation on the setup I envisioned, so I'm giving it a slight variation on the title I intended to give it: The Commute. @lucymagdalene.bsky.social gave a little manspread into the aisle of the train, which made me laugh. #artnude #intimatephotography

Nude woman with long blond ringlets sits on an abandoned, graffiti-covered train, reading a newspaper, a leather satchel in the aisle at her feet.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Realizing I never threw an @ivysublime.bsky.social shot on Bluesky. From the end of 2025. Love to work with her again. #bnw #artnude

Black and white photo of a woman in a spaghetti strap, flapper-type dress. She is perched on rounded couch with her legs tucked behind her, and a hand resting on her knee.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

"Shredded" A quick something from yesterday's shoot with @mighty1earthling.bsky.social. It's kind of fun to get something with the express purpose of wrecking it. #artnude #intimatephotography

Woman standing in front of a stone retaining wall wearing a severely torn-up patterned dress.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

"Just Heels" It's tough to express a layered thought process in the limited characters available, so I've bailed on it after half a dozen attempts. This is from September of 2025, with Inna. #artnude #intimatephotography

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

A Mighty Earthling has landed on Bluesky at @mighty1earthling.bsky.social. Great model, cool person. You can give her a follow. We've got a session coming up next month; meanwhile, here's one from our session in November of last year. #artnude #intimatephotography

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Recently posted a shot I took with Sandra last fall, because I was only just getting around to editing that session. After a three month moratoruim from shooting, here's a fresh one with Sandra taken this very day. What a jewel she is. #artnude #intimatephotography

Nude woman loosely wrapped in a gauzy white lace fabric.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

"Memory Loss" Mom was suffering from dementia when she had the stroke that ushered her to death. As the picture guy, I took possession of the family photo albums, some of which had met catastrophic water damage. Before I disposed of them, I photographed some of the pages, which felt poignantly apt.

A close-up of a page from a photo album. Several mounting corners are visible, their pictures missing. Moldy spots of black and orange blossom from the paper. The one remaining photograph, a black and white head shot portrait, has been ruined by streaks of water and additional mold, heavily obscuring (though not completely) most of the facial features. Just the hair and a single eye—looking directly in the lens—remain relatively untouched.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I've taken so many window light photos, I decided I needed to add 'window' to my Lightroom keywords. Pretty late in the game to make such a retroactive decision, plus scanning the archive has me stopping to edit shots that catch my eye, like this shot of Sandra in Philly last year. #artnude #bnw

Black and white shot of a nude model in window light, partially shielded by lace drapes. The figure is down a narrow corridor, and the light only makes up a sliver of the frame. A lamp and a bicycle are visible in the darkened foreground.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

"Smother Me" Another image worked into faux album art. It was years before I made the connection that my affinity for the square was probably due my deep love for album graphics. #artnude #graphicdesign #bnw

Grungy black and white portrait of a woman, cropped from forehead to top of thigh. Her hands are gathered at the top of her sternum as she gazes down at the floor. It has all been fashioned into album art, with the words "Smother Me" floating in the negative space near her waist.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Slowly making my way through old photo sessions. I don't know if it's just winter, but I've been moving like molasses through my lethargy, despite severely limiting new shoots. I found this one of @meghanclaire.bsky.social and @astridkallsen.bsky.social intriguing, despite being a misfire. #artnude

Two nude models at a weathered door.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

"Flit" I like to make faux album art for my playlists. I've been doing it since the 90s. Had to crop in a lot for you to notice the focal point of the title—the butterfly—that happened to be in shot with @astridkallsen.bsky.social in this relic of a tub on a hot summer day. #artnude #graphicdesign

Nude woman reclining in an outdoor, rusty claw-foot bathtub. The tub rests on a concrete pedestal; a sheer, embroidered white garment hangs over the edge of it. A butterfly rests in the greenery behind her, where it has replaced the dot on a letter 'i' in the word "flit" as a title. The same word is rendered twice in stylized Morse code down the left half of the image, both as a visual juxtaposition with the painterly rendering of the image, and to provide censorship to limit the nudity.

The original wider version of the previous photo, without the graphic design elements or tight cropping.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Flashing back to last summer with @kristyjessica.bsky.social as I was scrolling through past photoshoots to see if anything would be cool as faux album art. #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

Black and white of a nude woman framed by the light from a window-less window opening.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

After working through a highly conceptual, post-process focused project with @anastasiamaye.bsky.social, we had time left over, so we played with the idea of high fashion posing in a low fashion outfit. A sweet bonus from burning clock, letting her move as she wanted. #artnude #intimatephotography

Studio shot of a woman in a wool-lined, red plaid hooded bathrobe and Ugg-style boots. The hood is up, and she is delicately holding it open, with the robes fuzzy matching belt still bridging over her midsection.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

"Good Morning!" Starting off strong in 2026. I was able whittle my vision down to a palatable two words: imperfectly sexy. Like when that cute nightie you wore gets twisted around while you sleep. Relatable, human, but still adorably sexy. Model: Lavish Crystal #artnude #intimatephotography #bnw

Black and white image image of a woman in bed wearing a satin nightie, twisted in sleep until her breasts have escaped their straps.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Happy new year! Haven't put up a photo in a while. It felt a little weird cross-pollinating my comments on a local radio event, so I let my account sit for a bit. This is Mighty Earthling from November of last year, right at my house. #artnude #intimatephotography

A nude woman sits sideways in an old upholstered armchair. On the wall behind her is a painting of a wrapped ham such as one might find in a butcher's shop.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Do I actually think Blind Melon’s cover of the Schoolhouse Rock song “3 Is A Magic Number” is one of the ten best covers in history? No. But it was on my list because, you know, fun. I have to remember I can just cue it up if it doesn’t make the #xpncountdown one-vote mix tape. But it’s not as fun.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

That’ll have to be the consolation prize that Kirtsy MacColl’s “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby” didn’t make the #xpncountdown (but surely got more than just my wife’s vote). Nice Smiths cover.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Still time for Motley Crue’s “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” to sneak in there. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Nice uptick in Kinks covers in the past hour. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Siouxsie’s Prudence. The last of my picks I expect to hear. On my wife’s list as well. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

I love that Social Distortion could turn up this high on the #xpncountdown, as it doesn’t seem a very XPN song. But then, I didn’t live here in the ‘90s. Maybe it was big.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Mostly I feel music is out there to be enjoyed, but I’m weirdly possessive of Talk Talk, so I hated that cover of It’s My Life when it came out, convinced I would have to share this thing I loved with the filthy casuals. In the end, most people didn’t know or care it was a cover. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

I’m experiencing a little whiplash in going from from hoping my picks make the #xpncountdown to hoping I’m the only person that voted for it.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Run-DMC almost goes top 100 despite being the example of what doesn’t count as a cover. I have to say, I kind of approve, because I mean come ON, but still. Chaos. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Maybe what I really wanted in my heart was 885 ska covers, with an occasional thrash/punk one thrown in. I don’t even particularly like Reel Big Fish, but this is the bash-em-out my expectations were primed for. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

I thought a higher percentage of the #xpncountdown would be like that cover of Come On Eileen—not so much turning tunes into torch songs or frameworks for a prog jam, but just ripping through an old familiar song, where it’s fun, almost independently of whether it’s good.

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Camper! I’m, like, 80% confident this was on my list. One of my 11s if not. CvB forever, baby! #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

David Gray’s gut-wrenching transformation of a pretty terrible (sorry) Soft Cell song should have been higher, because I 100% would have included it on my ballot had I thought of it while voting. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Mystery solved. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Thumbs up for some Quiet Riot, but I did have a fleeting instant where I thought ‘Was Toni Basil’s Mickey a cover?’ #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Robyn! Very nice. Not on my list, but very much appreciated. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Luka Bloom doing LLCoolJ gives me hope that maybe my quirkier choices aren’t quite dead in the water. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

One certainly begins to suspect that the Deadheads who voted gamed the system by voting a straight ticket of Dead/Garcia covers. #xpncountdown

Bryce Napier @brycenapier.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Got a call out of the blue from a friend in Japan I haven’t talked to in a few years while Poolside was playing. Seemed rude to say ‘Can we wrap this up? I’m listening to the #xpncountdown.’ So I didn’t. But oh, how the FOMO built.
