😘 Happy HUMP DAY! This Week's Artistic Nude Photography and VICE Update
Welcome to another Wednesday "Hump Day" post... yeah it's a regular thing now.
As many of you know I used to participate in most of the NSFW photography contests sponsored by the Whaleshares Community as it was really the only place to showcase any kind of art (photography or other mediums) that contained nudity on Steemit where it could be fairly discusses in a mature manner.
Once those contests ended I gradually stopped posting anything that has to the "tagged NSFW" until the conversation was reignited with the announcement of the VICE platform being scheduled for launch this summer. In a few months we will have a place to showcase our work and build an artist community where it will be appreciated.
These first two photographs are from a recent photoshoot, the same time I was working on my second set of underwater photos late last year. I was using the natural sunlight passing through the vertical blinds in the window to create the contrasting light and dark patterns on the model's body. These were taken with my Nikon D5300 using a 50mm f1.8 lens.
Gotta love twins! Too bad I don't know any. 😆 This next image is from an older photoshoot back in 2008 and was created in post production using Photoshop to create the final double image. The focus was on the jewelry as an accent to the natural human form. The base photos were taken with a Fuji S2 using a 30-70mm f4 lens.
This last image was actually a candid shot taken during the setup process for the studio lights. It's not perfectly in focus, but still creates a really cool silhouette of the model. Sometimes test shots just come out cool.
VICE UPDATE
For those following along with the VICE Token crowdsale, the date has been pushed back 2 weeks to allow for independent auditing to be completed.
Let me know what you think, please leave your comments below.
YOU LOOK, YOU LIKE, YOU UPVOTE!
Thanks for reading!
i finally got an ethereum wallet set up! hope to get in on this VICE thing... the issue of censorship on steemit has been coming up more and more lately.
Awesome. Keep your eye out for Feb 5 for the next flash whitelist opportunity. Not sure how crazy the crowdfund will be later in the month, so prob best to get on that whitelist to reserve what you want.
These are fantastic mvp.
Thank you :-)
... and the post results prove my point each week.
lol, you look, you like, you upvote that's hilarious. Beautiful shots. i like the lighting you shot them in.
Thank you Kubby! 🙈 😁
Yeah, that goes back to our discussion a few weeks ago about artistic nudes as art (drawings, photography, paintings) falling under the negative stigma of the "nsfw" tag.
I decided I will wait a day to bring in the whale vote for my Hump Day posts to make sure those who take the plunge and upvote me get a nice curation reward.
I have another writer I want to introduce you to. Remind me next time your on discord.
Woaaaaaaaaah! Amazing shots.
