Yesssss my Mamiya 645 AFD is finally here and working! Very excited for fine art nudes on medium format

Braden Nesin @hellapositivepinup.com · 21/09/2026

Finally made some progress on updating my portfolio, hopefully I'll finish Phase 1 this week and then I can get cheap 4x6s printed of everything so I can work on sequencing for Phase 2. Haven't done this since 2019 whoooops

Let’s look at some art.

Muri is a Chilean tattoo artist and illustrator who comes to Sweden every summer to run the laundry at a dance camp, just like I come every summer to run the bike shop, because this dance camp has a bike shop. Anyway I love her very much and I am so stoked we got to make some art this summer.

Braden Nesin @hellapositivepinup.com · 11/09/2026

My last shoot of my summer in Sweden was with Muri, one of my favorite people on this entire planet. We had about 45 minutes of good light left to work with by the time we got up here but I think we made magic anyway

God I love those colors. The skys in Sweden are divine. Jenny is catching some wind in her hair, sitting up on the cliffs overlooking the Baltic Sea in Sweden as the sun starts to rise, it's probably around 3:30am

Cell phone photo really doesn't do this print justice. Once I'm done with this shoot I'll digitize them all properly #fineartnude #nudemodel #nudephotography #blackandwhite #bnw #blackmodel #analog #film #35mm #nudeportrait #darkroom

We found an abandoned brick shack in the woods and decided to get weird with it. We brought in a bunch of random party lights, and I wrapped a sarong around my strobe to try and match the colors a bit while lighting Jenny's face with it. Get weird

Jenny found that jacket at a loppis, sort of a second hand store setup outside of someone's house, at the start of camp, and it got so much mileage. We had to be super quiet during this shoot because we were outside of a bunch of houses at 4am, all whispers and gestures and working fast

So I tend to think black and white is stronger than color, unless the colors are gorgeous. Love the purple against the muted yellow-green here

Two takes on the same idea. Vera holds the mystic orb while I shoot from inside the abandoned brick shack, then Jenny does while wrapped in lights while I shoot from outside. I love getting weird with my friends

I spent basically the entire summer wanting to play with this cute lil red shack with green chairs out back of the house I stayed in, finally got a chance in the last week. Along with the purple lingerie and umbrella I love the colors going on here, as well as Jenny's laugh

Hey MSP, I am trying to come through at the end of October, anyone wanna make some art while I'm there?

Went with Xiao to play with reflections at Secret Secret Secret Lake a couple weeks ago, a lil spot just outside of camp that's pretty special to me and my friends there

Makeda at the Lighthouse #2. Dialing it in, only took two test prints. Love this film stock, RPX 400, apparently it's the old Agfa formula, which was my favorite back in the day. Anyhoo hmu if you want a print

It does feel nice to be back in the darkroom. Literally my first test print from this roll, might go a hair darker but fuck, I love this photo of Makeda. Gonna do a run of 5x7s, hmu if you want one

Every time I think about bringing the blog/Patreon back I remember how my entire life became hustling for new subscribers like plugging holes in a leaky sieve, working so hard just to keep things from shrinking. I miss having regular income though.

This lil shack was in the backyard of where I was staying for most of the summer. Took until the end of camp before we finally found a chance to play with it. This was shot probably five am or so, we danced until about 3:30 then got to work. I already miss Herräng, what a crazy fucking place

From I think my first ever kink shoot, probably 12 years ago now give or take. The incredible Norine, who saw my burlesque photos and got me my first boudoir gig, then continued to work with me until I left Chicago.

Full night's sleep in my own bed, killer home-cooked breakfast, two coffees roasted myself...and I am depressed as hell missing all my friends. Post-camp drop is so real after living and working alongside some of my favorite people in the entire world for nearly two months
