I'm a weirdo in Joshua Tree who makes photos and arts and doesn’t understand most pop culture references. 99.3% retired from commercial work, but happy to work on the occasional private commission. 📸🎨🔞 patreon.com/misterschwabel
I genuinely thought that was Meg Stalter on the right 😂

I used to show my spicier work on Patreon, but they no longer allow all of my nude work to be shown. Fansly has restrictions on BDSM content - what happens if I decide to put a model in a gimp suit? JustForFans seems the only remaining option but I despise their site design 😂 Am I missing any?
Enjoy my pandemic look (Jan 2021) This memory popped up yesterday. My shot of actor Jason Beghe went to a collector in DC. She hanged it next to a similarly-sized portrait of Bob Dylan. I love a big print, especially on a tight shot like this. #blackandwhite #photography #portrait
Hi Friends - I'm wanting to shoot some new work. Know any model-types in the SoCal area who might be a match? Send 'em my way! I'm based in Joshua Tree (near Palm Springs). This is the only photo of me I could find holding a camera, thus proving I am, in fact, a person who has held a camera.
College work with Mark, my muse for much of my time at RIT. The lockers were for our supplies for the the nearby darkrooms. Towels hanging to dry. Did a whole series with Mark after hours nude all over campus. It ended up being my first publication in my favorite magazine at the time, BLUE
Rico in Malibu, shot for Playgirl magazine, 2004. Shot on a Nikon D100 (a 6-megapixel dSLR) in JPG mode because in RAW, it could only process one frame every 5 seconds. Amazed that I used that camera for work 😂 My other camera was an RZ67 and they weren't gonna pay for that much film.
This place was fun 'til the centrists showed up 😂 I'm just tryin' to look at art and butts and dicks and nerd stuff and be happy about the growing acceptance of socialism and the return to open source computing, but every third post seems to be written by a DNC think tank bot.

Outtake with Chris @ Anza-Borrego Wide-open vacant locations are my favorite. Harder and harder to find.
Coyote parade down our driveway tonight! That’s 7 total. Looks like momma and kids. Never seen more than 2-3 at a time before tonight. Was preceded by a very frantic bunny 👀
Model: “Romeo” shot for Playgirl Magazine ca. 2006(?) The backdrop was a bunch of flashes I bought on eBay in bulk that flash when they “see” another flash go off, mounted to a black wall.
What’s with all these clearly AI “landscape painters” I’m suddenly getting in my feed?
not enough people talk about how lucky we are to be alive to witness a sunset on ANOTHER PLANET
Please enjoy this photo of my ginormous sweetheart of a friend Tim. Shot this seconds after meeting him for the first time at Burning Man 2014.
MEN SWEAR BY IT: Nothing impresses women like the Man Cylinder. 🍆
View from my morning bike ride. Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs in the distance. Elevation gain 2100 ft., round trip 21 miles. This is essentially my back yard: there is ≈ 500 ft of pavement from my house to the trail. This is what I left LA and commercial work for. #joshuatree
Message received! i guess I need to go model hunting! 📸 And If you aren’t already, y’all need to go crush on @thecroissantcowboy.bsky.social
The Croissant Cowboy@thecroissantcowboy.bsky.social · 4w agoMe. Just me. 🖤🤎💙 @mrschwabel.bsky.social came out of nude-shoot retirement for this shoot. Please go follow him and let him know he’s never allowed to retire from nude shooting again 😅
Fun fact: My portrait of Judd Hirsch was used widely in the film Independence Day Resurgence... The one that nobody (myself included) saw 😂. They filmed tons of scenes with my photo as a book cover, on huge posters, etc, BEFORE clearing it with me 😂 so lets just say paying rent was easy that year.
Just a reminder that @womensartbluesky.bsky.social is the best and you should follow them. I've been inspired by a ton of their posts.

My friend Michael Abels is the composer Rhiannon Giddens collaborated with on this incredible opera. I was lucky enough to see it performed in LA a few years ago.
