www.nite.art Richmond, VA–based portrait and art nudes photographer. I’m always looking for models to collaborate on photography projects. I photograph everyday life, both mundane and uniquely abstract, because for me there’s no other way.

Developed 4 rolls of film from four different cameras. Sharp images are from Mamiya C330 and Nikon n80. Two leicas were hit and mostly miss. It still looks lovely, even oof, but either I cannot focus properly anymore, or lenses are out of alignment. Lab scanned well, but flat, so much processing...

I really liked the work of W.Coupon, and he passed away recently. I decided to do a tribute and make some images closely matching his style. I am looking for models for short sessions, both in clothes and, optionally, without them. DM me if interested. Sessions are in Richmond, VA area.

Thank you Evernote, I wanted to leave for years because of bloat and over-complication of the app. Now you practically doing it for me. Buy, burn and die. "Your Evernote Personal account will transition to the Evernote Advanced plan on September 16, 2026 at a price of USD 249.99 per year."

I have been lucky enough to try most of the fanciest cameras made today. For non-specialized photography, there is nothing better than the Fujifilm GFX. All those Leicas and Hasselblads are a pile of half-baked turds and compromises that happen to make images. I hope I saved you a bunch of money.

What do you do with a thousand meaningfully different images from the same session and there is nothing to cull?

Maybe I should just crop really tight, for IG-safe version of this session.

Ukraine's air defense network remains one of the country's greatest military successes. But the air war is changing. As Patriot interceptor stocks remain limited, Russia is increasingly relying on ballistic missiles to inflict greater damage on Ukrainian cities. euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/04/u...

For the next few months, I am going to photograph in the style of William Coupon as a tribute to my favorite portrait photographer.

It is hard to justify AI spend if you did not plan to hire all the people it "replaced".

Had the pleasure of working with @collibrina.bsky.social in a truly unique space. Culling these will take a while because there is nothing to cut. Every frame is perfect exactly as it is.

A studio session with @melancholicmodel.bsky.social. Erin's instinct for movement and form made the work effortless, and genuinely enjoyable. I walked away with many images I really really like.

Nice to have a willing model for a pinhole day, who can handle rain, wind, and cold with enthusiasm and humor.

Some pictures from Sony creative space on the road event in Richmond, VA. They gave everybody A7V with 28-70/2.0 or similar lenses. It was fun! Camera is a dream for all manual exposure people like me. It is still super inconvenient to hold and viewfinder was sluggish and not very good in general.

Meg Eubank in B&W. I struggled to edit this session for several reasons and tried a dozen times to finish it over the last year with different approaches. And then Evoto released new presets that hit just right! After all the creative suffering, it was almost a one-click "retouch" job.

Leica Q3 vivid look + Godox iT32 with CTO filter. I don't know what they were smoking there, these colors look very weird to me, but I like them in the same time. It does not work every time though. Some pictures were meh with the same settings. Would you be interested in prints from this session?

From a recent session with amazing @bexlaw.bsky.social
A b&w photograph of a nude woman leaning against a brick wall, her back turned toward the viewer. Sunlight falls across her body, with shadows splitting her back into two distinct halves.

I usually don’t do frontal views in your face, but this one felt just right. Anyone want this as a print?

A few pictures of my house in NJ. I spent a few weeks there alone while getting it ready to sell. I did a few sessions with models, but the empty house itself also gave me plenty of chances to take interesting photos.

Playing with light and shadows is my favorite game.
A nude woman poses in front of the window and cast a strange shadow on the wall. Window has blinds and it creates stripes of light on the wall.

I just came up with a formula for B&W grainy pictures that I like, and I hear it’s out of fashion. Oh well, at least nudes have been in fashion since humans discovered paint. Pentax P645 120/4 with a tilt adapter at 10 degrees on GFX camera.
A nude model with her body mostly out of focus, using a tilt lens.

Is this a good time to start re-using Soviet Union times political jokes, or do we go straight to telling them in the kitchen to the closest friends in a lower voice only?

Just a few everyday pictures… What resolution/size do people use when they post their pictures here on Bluesky? What is your thought process? I saw a few models’ images with 3000 pixels or more on the long side. It is more than enough to make a high-quality print out of it. #photography #photo

I have 35mm lenses for every camera system I have. I have lenses that cover 35mm as well, and those are most used :) I don't need another 35mm lens. Except, maybe, ... I bought another 35mm lens.
