I am a photographer who focuses on art nudes. I use a variety of tools for my photography, including digital, historic processes such as tintypes and kallitypes, and instant film. Please enjoy and I hope to find others with similar interests.

Here's a short happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". youtu.be/FDiXrd-R68U It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

Thanks! The cats were soooo helpful that day. . . 😂
He does! And so helpful!
@keiragrant.bsky.social From a session in the spring. As an editing note, I'll probably have to remove the cat from the final, but I just didn't have the heart ;) #Nude #ArtNude #Photography #ModelPhotography #Noir #KeiraGrant #LawrencesView #HelpfulKitty
Thank you!

I appreciate the kind words!
Fabric - the scene is underwater so the sheer fabric gives that look.

Thank you! And for the stamps - the one of the Queen’s face in profile? If so, I can see the see the similarities.
They do! If you're interested, you might check with @tankspaceofficial on instagram.

Yeah, they’re usually pretty good about taking down the sexual content label if I appeal, but it’s obviously a bot as any time I post a nude, it is instantly added. It would be nice to get rid of it. But as you say, better than instagram (or facebook).
Playing around in the darkroom today. I found some cyanotype paper yesterday that was sensitized 9 years ago - the top paper in the photo was what it looks like unexposed. I contact printed a sheet, and it took an image! #photography #cyanotype #AltProcess
Testing exposure on my light box for cyanotypes, to get ready to do gum over cyanotype prints. Found some approx. 9 year old dry cyanotype chemistry in the basement - it still seems to work! #Photography #AltProcess #cyanotype
Thank you! I’ve got to get the tintypes up and running again so I can update it for the new era!
On this day, 249 years ago, the country said NO KINGS! #NoKings
I spent last week in Maine learning gum bichromate printing in a workshop with Diana Bloomfield! A challenging process, but I can see lots of potential for color printing. #Photography #AltProcess #GumBichromate #Gum
Great to hear that so many people showed up!
More from #NoKings protests in Bethesda, MD. Last for now.

Not only does BlueSky need an edit function, but why is it that they automatically mark my photos as sexual content, just because they are nudes (which I mark as non-sexual nudity). It's a bot doing it, and it is really annoying.

*memento - Bsky needs an edit function 😉

Thank you! I did a number of drafts of this one, but I’m finally happy with how it turned out!
Thank you!
Thank you! Credit due to Ivory Flame for the pose - she is a master at posing!

Thank you! This was one of those photographs that I knew more-or-less exactly what I wanted to make when we went out in the field.

I try to keep my eyes out at stores, eBay, etc. I finally got around to making some prints for them, so made up some extra prints just in case we find more!

Just for fun - We got a couple of small vintage art deco picture frames for props in studio. I printed up a selection to go with the era. Here's the two frames with Ivory Flame and @collibrina.bsky.social plus extras of Mischkah Scott, BlueRiverDream, and Ivory Flame.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thank you!
Thank you! It is nice to get back into the darkroom (well, dim room 🙂)!
Thank you! They'll need a little tweaking, but I'm really happy with the results.
I was in the darkroom today doing kallitypes. Here are some first draft platinum-palladium toned kallitypes of Halo Haynes and Ivory Flame in the water, and of @jaybanmodel.bsky.social on a chaise. #Photography #ModelPhotography #AltProcess #Kallitypes
Thank you! Halo was great! And you can get great effects photographing models in the tank at Tankspace.
Thank you!
I had a great remote session with @jaybanmodel.bsky.social on Saturday! Here she is on a chaise in window light. #Nude #ArtNude #Photgraphy #ModelPhotography #JayBan #LawrencesView #RemoteShoot
Ha! Good eye - I figured no one would notice. I needed something to fill the old frame, so used one of my Ivory Flame portraits.
Thank you!

And let me tell you about the joys of acid mine damage coming out of those strip mines.
Dr. Peter Stein, the former Director of CDER’s Office of New Drugs at the FDA, was fired as a result of Trump's cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Stein approved the monoclonal antibodies treatment that may have saved Trump’s life when he got COVID. #UngratefulBitch
I’m sorry to hear! But I understand completely.
Beautiful work by model and photographer!
Interesting - I upload to bsky using Firefox (on a PC) and haven’t had problems.
Thank you!
I had a great session yesterday with @keiragrant.bsky.social ! We did some lighthearted work and some dark and moody work for making into kallitypes. Bonus points to those who found Jacskon the cat. #ArtNude #Nude #Photography #ModelPhotography #KeiraGrant #LawrencesView #CatsOfBlueSky
Umm. . . That should be #StandUpForScience2025 - Although I'm sure Stan is up for science!
A few more scenes from the #StandUpForScience2025 rally on the National Mall, DC.

Gee, wouldn't it have been nice to run this piece before the election.
I love a good cyanotype!
As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Yep
Says it all.
When the Washington Post adopted "Democracy Dies in Darkness" on its masthead in 2017, I thought it was declaring resistance to the lies of the first Trump Administration. With recent actions by Bezos, I realized it is a business plan.
Beautiful!
(2/2) I'm using sodium thiosulphate, 50 g/l in distilled water, with 5 cc household ammonia in it. I do 2 trays - fixing is 2 min in the first tray, 1 min in a tray of tap water, and 2 min in the second tray. Got this from either Sandy King or Christopher James' book. How are you fixing?
I had a problem with my tintypes previously, using 20-25% sodium thiosulfate I was getting white spots. It was solved by filtering the hypo through 2 layered coffee filters before using. No idea if this is related or not, though. And kind of depends on how long is "too long" (1/2)
It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there
Chemistry day today! Made more kallitype developer - I’ve been going through it. Also made a batch of salted collodion - getting ready to get back into tintypes! #photography #AltProcess #Kallitypes #tintypes
I had a fantastic session with Halo Haynes and Ivory Flame yesterday at TankSpace in the UK, shooting remotely with 2 models in a 10,000 gallon glass tank! Here's one from the session of Halo. #ArtNude #Nude #Photography #ModelPhotography #Underwater #HaloHaynes #TankSpace #LawrencesView
Thank you! It’s been great getting back into printing after too long of a break!
Thank you!
Kallityping again today. Doing tweaks on some of the near final files, and doing two first drafts: gold-toned kallitype of @viviancove.bsky.social (left) and platinum-palladium toned kallitype of @zoecwest.bsky.social (right). #ArtNude #Nude #Photography #ModelPhotography #AltProcess #kalllitypes
@zoecwest.bsky.social , in black From our session a couple of weeks ago. This will wind up as a platinum-palladium toned kallitype, but I thought I'd share the digital photo as I'm really happy with what we did together. #ArtNude #Nude #Photography #ModelPhotography #ZoeCWest #LawrencesView
😂
Well, fuck. . . With H5N1 flu looking threatening, a massive tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas City, and the occasional measles outbreak (looks like they're up to 48 cases in west Texas).
I admit I'm stumped by this one. I think the only way to find out is to get an old TV, put the camera on top of it, and see what happens.
My first thought was "Do not drop on wounded hockey players!" 😜
