Thank you! It was a challenge using the mirror in a small studio - I hung a black backdrop on the right hand side wall to give a dark background behind the model. Kudos to Alicia for finding a pose that works well from two angles!

Thanks! And agreed - I put a black backdrop on the wall to the right to give something dark to reflect.

Thank you! That‘s the one that really stood out for me, but I liked it as the center piece in a triptych.

@anoushanou.bsky.social I had a fantastic session with Anoush this week; here's a single-light portrait from our session. #ModelPhotography #Photography #AnoushAnou #LawrencesView
Model Anoush Anou poses seated at a table, head resting on her hand.  She wears a red robe, and is looking off into the distance as if lost in thought.  There is a wash basin and pitcher on the table next to her.  The background is in shadow, but curtains can be seen that frame her in the photo.

Woman Reading a Letter Model: @aliciadawnartmodel.bsky.social From a great session with Alicia this week. Very loosely inspired by Vermeer's Woman Reading a Letter. #ArtNude #Nude #ModelPhotography #Photography #AliciaDawn #LawrencesView #letter
Model Alicia Dawn poses nude, seated in a chair, reading a letter by the light of an oil lamp on a table.  The photo is low key, with deep shadows, to create a moody atmosphere.

Temptation Models (left to right): Ivory Flame @artemisfauna.bsky.social Cariad Celis Taken in a remote session from the Boardroom Studio in the UK. Backdrop by Framatica Patty Hankins and I had a wonderful time working with Holly, Sarah, and Cariad! And we definitely got some beautiful shots!
Models Ivory Flame (left), Artemis Fauna (center), and Cariad Celis (right) pose against a backdrop of a dark forest.  Artemis is wearing cream and black lingerie, the other two models are draped in sheer black cloth.  Artemis holds a rose with blood on the arm from the thorns, and the other two appear to be whispering unthinkable things into her ear.

Agreed! But I tolerate it since they at least don't delete the post, suspend my account, etc. Still, would be nice if they could figure out that not all nudity is sexual!

Lawrences View @lawrencesview.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
My standard workflow now for posting a nude is label it as having nudity, and immediately after posting appeal the sexual content label that BlueSky automatically puts on it. Sigh.

@viviancove.bsky.social Tri-color gum bichromate I'm diving back into gum printing - had a workshop with @gummbichromate (IG), where I printed this lovely print of Vivian Cove on the California coast. I have a feeling I've got lots of calibration work in front of me to do in my own darkroom.
Three-color gum bichromate print of model Vivian Cove, standing in the sand on the California Coast.  She is nude, with a bright red fabric covering her head and draping behind her.    The gum bichromate gives the print an almost abstract appearance.

@jessaraymuse.bsky.social #Photography #ModelPhotography #JessaRayMuse #LawrencesView
Model Jessa Ray Muse sits in a chair in a dark room, with light from an oil lamp on a desk providing light. Lighting enthusiasts will note that the the lighting is external, but more or less looking like it is coming from the lamp (later I'll post some that are actually lit by the lamp).  This harkens back to vintage Hollywood noir scenes for me.
