Thank you for the thoughtful comment, Shoshin! I used to rarely create black-and-white versions because I wrongly thought it was a way to make mediocre photos artistic. Now I usually see how most images look in black and white.

Una bellezza che incanta—a beauty that enchants.

Mighty in Minneapolis!

The Mighty Earthling returned to the Twin Cities. It had been 3 years since we worked together, so I was overjoyed to photograph her again. @mightyearthling.bsky.social #modelshoot #model #portrait

Your call. I'm confident the presentation will be amazing either way.

I am really hating 2026.

The smile! Not to take anything away from the outfit, but the smile is quite charming.

A muse for happy dreams.

Thank you, DannyBoy! It's a delightful image of Ayeonna. That smile and pose project a lot of warmth and cheerfulness.

Those mountains in the foreground are no joke.

Luminous ease with Ayeonna Gabrielle.

This image of AG on the settee conveys warmth and joy in large part because of that smile that reaches her eyes.

They're all wonderful. She looks like she is having fun and that always speaks well of the photographer.

I love the third image. That must be some some outstanding chocolate, or Lana is very expressive-or both!

Spot on!

I'm not surprised that you're well read. We wanted to see Meghan Kreidler, the actress who played Lady Macbeth, since we had only seen her as the lead singer for the band Kiss the Tiger. Here she is as LM.

You, too! My bride and I watched a performance of that timeless love story of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Maybe we'll watch something a bit more lighthearted next year.

Beautiful image, Steve! This is classic, but what I think nude photography should aspire to be. Well done!

Happy Valentine's Day, and thank you for sharing all your beautiful posts throughout the year!

You in lingerie more than makes up for the mirror, but, yeah, after one of my first photo shoots, I always asked the host to make sure the mirrors are clean.

Thank you, Joachim! Miss Magnolia radiates confidence in the photos.

Lovely image! After doing nude photography for a few years, I now try to do more portraits, more clothed shots in addition to nudes. I always said if I am doing this just to get women naked then I need to quit or go back to landscapes. But I still believe in the special power of nude photography.

I live in the Twin Cities and I strongly approve your message (and the way it is delivered.)

Here the goddess is Miss Magnolia Muse when she visited St. Paul. #modelshoot #model #nude #artisticnude

I just did. I'm alanpierce774 on IG.

I sympathize. I do only a few shoots a years because of the expense. This fall I got rocked with a few major personal expenses and had to cut back on shooting later in the year. Most models were understanding.

Your expression says it all.

Laid-back.

Hi Miranda! You would be amazing to photograph! Check out my account.

I hope you are right. It doesn't feel like it now.
