Late 30s. Photographer, writer, composer. Woe-betide-thee prophet of the present day. He/him. Toronto. These images are portents of doom: missives from the hidden world within our world. Feel shame and terror, please. But boost them if you like them.
Modelmayhem loves to be like “remember that page you were logged into like 5 seconds ago? You clicked a link on it so fuck you, log in again.”
sentries and hunters. Toronto. November 7th, 2025. The same watchfulness that brought us protection serves us now in the hunt. model: @nellaa7.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #artnude #torontophotographer #nsfw #witchy #orange
Some days, i work with a model and feel absolutely ecstatic. So eager to edit the photos and share them. Some days, the absolute joylessness that i am confronted with in this industry makes me feel like i could sacrifice those ecstatic days to experience greater happiness.
It's been a ranty day, and I have deleted several posts I was going to make today. You're welcome for those I deleted, sorry for those I did or will not.
and now one. Toronto. October 26th, 2025. After all this destruction, it comes as no surprise that we are alone. model: @irynaberdnyk.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #torontophotographer #nsfw #purple #moody
the entreaty. Toronto. October 16th, 2025. Let this be the day that effort is worthy. Let there be meaning in pain. We scatter these pointless prayers in the wind. model: @rileyjade.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #nsfw #torontophotographer #purple #witchy
I need a where are they now on the kids from Bill Nye the Science Guy.
dream persistence. Toronto. October 15th, 2025. We can only dismiss the dreams when we know that we’re asleep. We expect a difference when we open our eyes. model: @amedeamodele.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #torontophotographer #nsfw #purple
I have done this so many times, for VHS->DVD->BD. I have a few vinyl/casette->CD or CD->vinyl dupes. Lately I have bought digital versions of physical games I own, for the sake of convenience/modding. But only a few HD remasters, and most of those were substantial remakes, not simple upscales.
Name physical media you purchased more than once.
Ittybitty baby Giancarlo Esposito in a bit part in Trading Places.
mildly embarrassed that this Kyle Gordon parody track is making me want to listen to Graceland.
So, Bill Nye the Science Guy remains a very compelling program, even for 40 year old men with difficulty maintaining attention.
Cute humorous 1st episode of an anime that will emotionally annihilate you is same vibes as full-frontal-nudity in the 1st episode of an HBO show. In other words, a trap.
satisfy a void. Toronto. October 9th, 2025. The void offers no approval, but it must be satisfied by the ritual of these actions, or our suffering will persist. model: www.instagram.com/tara.j.pater... #photography #artmodel #artnude #fineartnude #torontophotographer #nsfw #slime #witchy
beyond the pursuit. Toronto. September 12th, 2025. The terror of the pursuit drives us forward, but the terror of what we are becoming propels us further. model: @ndu1.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #nsfw #purple #torontophotographer #moody #witchy
I love when I'm editing a set of photos, and notice for the first time that the model actually cried for them. "Oh, you shed a tear for my sake?!" Feels like a little blessing. (Contextually, it's important to remember how important emotion is in my photos).
French film: “this is the most handsome man in france” Me: “that’s a snail, actually.”
me, editing a nude photo: "god, I need to see some nudity."
TV and movie pet peeve: a conversation that begins in one setting, and then continues in a different setting that would have taken several minutes or even hours to get to, as if they just shut up for hours and continues talking in the new location.
a mind's game. Toronto. September 11th, 2025. Pain is universal, but it cannot stop a determined body. model: @minhly-model.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #nsfw #purple #torontophotographer #witchy
Just hanging out inside, smelling this burnt-hot-dog-ass air.
Okay, but what's with people quote posting photos from photographers like me, instead of just reblogging? Feels like stealing likes.
What’s that old saying? Yellow sky in the morning, sailors don’t breathe or you’ll get carbon monoxide poisoning?
hidden knowledge. Toronto. September 4th, 2025. There is a comfort in this certitude you can not possess, but we remain terrified of what must come. model: @alexiafx.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #nsfw #purple #torontophotographer
The soundtrack from Final Fantasy XII gets slept on. The whole game gets slept on, but specifically, the soundtrack.
a body's demand. Toronto. August 27th, 2025. These quiet, mounting betrayals are most felt by those who have learned to listen to the protestations of a body that demands retribution. model: @muirinafae.bsky.social #photography #artmodel #nudemodel #fineartnude #torontophotographer #nsfw #purple
