Self-Portrait Series #2
🕑 Added 2023-04-08 04:15:19 +0000 UTCIn my experience, one of the most challenging aspects of nature photography, or any outdoor activity, is the uncertainty of the weather. Although I don't experience the kind of temperature extremes in my part of the world that others do, the changing of the seasons definitely has an impact on my ability to get out and shoot. In fact, from around the middle of November through the beginning of April, is usually far too cold here for me to even consider shooting nude outdoors, unless I want to freeze my you know what off!
For that reason, and because I'd need content to launch this Patreon, I ventured out several times in November to shoot before the temperatures dropped. The first self-portrait series I shared a couple of weeks ago was shot during one of those last warm fall days, and now I'm sharing a second series I've been holding on to since then and the final one from 2022.
Anyone familiar with my work knows that I enjoy being playful in my photos and am comfortable with eroticism, but typically avoid creating overly sexual or pornographic content. However, with this series, I decided to push the envelope a little more than usual, and you'll see that I'm both noticeably aroused and making more physical contact with myself than I've shown in the past. As an admirer of the male form, as well as erotic art and photography, I feel there is a time and place to show arousal and that it can be done in a way that is visually exciting while still being tasteful. As you look through these photos, I hope you'll agree!
See below for a ZIP file of all 12 photos if you'd like to download them.
Please note, I'll be sharing a few of these photos elsewhere for promotion, but the rest of the series will remain Patreon-exclusive and for subscribers only.
Have a great weekend!
