Your versatility as a model just blows me away. You shoot such a widely diverse set of genres. I like to say that a good model is a chameleon--capable of different looks and appearances and you're the chameleon of chameleons. Damn!
Photographer, DC area, USA I rarely repost, what you see is my work. If I don't give the name of a model that means she's retired or an amateur who wanted to remain anonymous. Also, credit your models.

Oh my, I just love Wyeth's paintings of that window. The one you just showed. Another of the nude on the bed napping. Another of the old dog asleep. The mood he evokes. Damn you've got good taste in art Dave.
It takes a good eye to see the possibilities.
Thanks. One of my favorite models and a great person--just a big heart. I've shot with her 20 times. She's moving to Spain.

And the same to you.
Amazing. And lovely.
Beautiful
Nice use of shadow and light
Excellent!
I'm a sucker for reflection shots and that one's a beauty. Well done.
Thanks
A good person is not someone who has never killed or destroyed. It is not someone who has an absence of sociopathic elements. It's because you control them. And because you act for a cause, not based on a whim or urge. And because you feel remorse or pain.
Yep. You couldn't be an operator without scoring high on that. But if you didn't feel any conflict, if you didn't feel any remorse, if you didn't feel the need to self-medicate--that's what would be scary. (post continued below--damn Bluesky's character limits).
Wow that's lovely
Very elegant
Gorgeous!

I agree.
Lovely work. More please.
Very similar to the feel of a Renaissance painting
"My behind is bigger"--you made me laugh Jia. I'm so happy for the two of you.
Of course you miss it. It was an adrenaline rush. And you were part of an elite team of operators. To be really, really good at something--no matter what it is--there is always a sense of nostalgia or a desire to return/recapture what you had. And you're a good man because you're conflicted.
Hah! I've got to share this story (name deleted to protect the Innocent) with a few others.
I don't think anyone will ever mistake you for Gregor 😂
I was always a fan of Freddie Hubbard. Never understood the disrespect Miles Davis had for him.
Yeah. The police were really stunned and let us off with a "just remember that Fairfax City is more conservative than the County". Sie is gorgeous and frankly, the two cops (guys) probably enjoyed the chance to interact with a beautiful woman who travels around the country posing nude.
True. I meant without the heels. With them you tower.
Thank you
Gregor, we've got similar views on politics. I admire your photography and we've shot with some of the same models. I was in the IC and can appreciate what you've done professionally. You're a good man--on many levels.
Yes, it is lovely!
Good for you. For instance, as a photographer, I don't allow people to post comments about model's bodies ("she's fat" or "I'd like to fuck that")--that's not why the model posed and it took courage for her to do this.
Unfortunately, there are jerks in the world. The internet seems to make it easier for people to be jerks to one another. There is a great quote from the boxer Mike Tyson: "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.

True
I'm so happy for the two of you.
Very elegant. As you can see, the diagonal hem creates more flow then a horizontal one. With your figure it's dynamite. You look 6 feet tall.
At this shoot we were in an art gallery (now closed and replaced with a sports bar--argh!). She had some poses by a window (not at street level). Someone called the police and they showed up and interviewed us. They were stunned that a model traveled the US, posing nude.

That's lovely!
Very nice
You are too kind. I have tremendous respect for Gregor and it makes me so happy that he has found you.
He's been around many other warriors with prosthetics. Modern warfare has increased lethality but improved ability to save severely wounded. There are more warriors with severe burns or multiple limb loses that would have died in earlier wars but survive now.
True.
Astrid Kallsen @astridkallsen.bsky.social #notsexuallyexplicit, #fineartnude, #nude, #nudeinnature, #contrast, #forest, #blackandwhite, #monochrome,
It would be such a shame if the damage to his leg ultimately costs him the ability to hike in all of that beauty, with you.
Yes. For a professional photographer, calibrating your monitor is critical.
You've got a lot of great beach photos.
Part of why he was able to do what he did was a commitment to his team members--some of whom did not come home. And that never leaves. So the challenge is not to feel that he's served his country and now that's over. It's how to learn to live (in a healthy way) with the sacrifices he made.
Got it. What's the best way to DM you--on Bluesky? Or IG?
As a former SEAL, he earned that Trident (and kept it) because he learned to move past pain, to never quit no matter how bad things felt. That's the kind of man he is--not just big and strong.
It's gorgeous territory.
I'd like more contrast myself. (lighter skin). But it's a lovely photo.
Yes, he is a master at chiaroscuro as well as other themes.
Thanks!

Agreed!
Wow this is gorgeous!
Gorgeous set of photos.
Thanks. Yeah, Katya is a terrific model--we've shot 7 times.
Thanks!
I also agree with you about American Exceptionalism. Trump is badly damaging democracy around the world and laying the sees for a world-wide economic depression. And that leads to dictatorships who promise "only I can fix it."
You're absolutely correct that China has made tremendous advances in a range of military technologies. The biggest threat that the PRC faces right now is their demographics--their fertility rate. They're having to buy brides from Cambodia, DPRK, and Laos because farm boys don't have wives.
And operating the baler in high heels--impressive!
Congrats.
This is freaking gorgeous you two--just superb work!
Hah!
I'm going to be on the road for a week and absent from Bluesky. This is Katya Zvantseva #notsexuallyexplicit, #fineartnude, #nude, #brunette, #Russian, #nudeinnature, #bigrocks, #statuesque,
That is a legitimate fear.
Sorry that's the case.
Superb!
Hah! Very funny
Your face doesn't look ugly. You look like a woman about to climax.
Absolutely gorgeous Jia!
Terrific!
Thanks.
Astrid isn't German, she's American. She now lives in Seattle (used to be Atlanta) but tours across the US. Here Bluesky account is: @astridkallsen.bsky.social
Thanks
I have an in-law who (not a model) had her husband (my nephew) posted a nude photo of her that he had her pose for. She said "first time I've ever posed nude for a photo online" and a friend replied "what do you expect? You married a photographer!" Gregor is a photographer and in love with you.
Very nice.
Excellent detail--not that I expected anything less from you. Thanks.
Thanks. Yeah, it blew me away how good she looked and her baby was 3 months old at the time of this photo.

Thank you--you flatter me. I'd love to shoot with Gregor sometime. And here is a sample of some of my underwater work--with an Korean model.
Given your form, your dark hair, and its length, you'd get some beautiful photos. Think of also bringing some long fabric for some poses underwater as well.
And yet, you look lovely. Gregor has a good eye.
Yeah, it's really tough seeing your dog age. And on a completely separate note: happy birthday to you!
Interesting distinction. In what way do you see the aesthetic as being a bit different? It's not that I disagree, I'm curious.
Plus in Sept. and October, the beaches are less crowded.
That's very impressive for a film camera and a selfie. Typically it takes a lot of trial and error when people start doing selfies.

Love her!
Very elegant.
Lovely.
Excellent job for a selfie.
Gregor is an artist. And you inspire him.
Slinky! Very nice.
Someone who wasn't healthy, who didn't have a "human bond" wouldn't blink an eye over such actions. That he feels pain over it tells you he's human, that he's capable of love.

And to someone who can love, sees beauty in many things, that would create tremendous pain.
