Nude half-length portrait taken on Kodak Tri-X 400.

@ivysublime.bsky.social, taken this Saturday and developed on Sunday. I’m fairly certain this is with my Nikon 35mm f/2.8. I’m absolutely certain it was captured with my Nikon FM2N and Kodak Tri-X 400.

Half length nude portrait of a woman lit by natural light.

More with/from @ivysublime.bsky.social. Historically I'm too much of a control freak to enjoy using natural light, but 2026 is the year where I learn to embrace it.

Close up natural-light portrait of a woman in profile.

@ivysublime.bsky.social in natural light, killing it as usual. Most of yesterday's session was taken on film and I can't wait to see the scans.

My Olympus OM2n is getting CLA’d and I miss her desperately.

Christmas Wrapping. I would break in seconds.

Color photo of a red haired woman in a white tank top captured on film. She is staring straight into the camera and the late day sun is lighting up her hair.

Claire and I have been artistically collaborating for eight years as of last week. I always feel like I am cheating on her hair color when I shoot her in b&w, because the red tresses are just so gorge!

Taken with my OM2n + 85 mm f/2 on, let’s say Kodak Gold 200.

Black-and-white photo of a woman leaning against a tree with a pensive look on her face. She is staring off somewhere in the middle distance over the photographer’s right shoulder.

Claire, from the No I Won’t Shoot Your Indy Album Cover collection.

Definitely taken with Acros 100 and my OM2n + 85 mm f2.

Everything is terrible and horrible. So here is Ann-Margaret and Desi Arnez Jr. on the “Here’s Lucy” show in 1970 doing a dance number that’s been remixed to Prince’s “Kiss”.

Ann-Margaret was hip AF! 🔥

Black and white photo of a women in the forest. She’s wearing a flannel shirt and looking up and to the right of the photographer. It looks like an indie album cover.

One day I’ll remember to jot down the camera and lens I used, but today is not that day! So I’m going to go with: Nikon FM2 and 35mm f/2.8 (they were in my bag). The film is Kentmere 200.

I just realized that Bsky has never seen @chrisubik.bsky.social and my wax photos. I will rectify that. #fineart #fineartnude #figuremodel #wax #model #travelingmodel #artmodel #candlewax

Hells to the yeah!

A photo of two strips of drying analog film stock.

I developed film at home for the first time since the late 1980s today! The roll on the left is Tri-X; on the right is CineStill BwXX. Both were developed in CineStill DF96.

The hardest part wasn’t developing, it was using a changing bag and getting film on the reels for the first time in 37 years.

Another from the wealth of archives @chrisubik.bsky.social and I share. I was very obsessed this timeframe with "anonymity" so I shot in wigs, accessories, and costumes that obscured my identity. This is what longterm collaborations between models and photographers will grant! #artmodel #surreal

I think one of the hangups around sex workers rights is that everyone else adjacent feels like it's an affront to center sex workers because other groups also suffer from similar problems

But my point is-

These are not mutually exclusive positions

This is a time for solidarity, not division

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo.

RIP, Ed, you steely-eyed missile man

I think our hit rate for “let’s try this thing that we’ve never done before” is a solid hundred percent. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to properly light you, and yet…

A fun experiment in a nylon body stocking – I’m obsessed with nylon textures and I wish I could play around more with this concept. With @chrisubik.bsky.social 📸

Here's me very oiled up before @chrisubik.bsky.social and I shot with candle wax poured over me. I will be bringing baby oil to figure shoots more often, thanks to this session.

The San Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of “distillation”, which it suspects to be from DeepSeek. The technique is used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable ones, allowing them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost. Distillation is a common practice in the industry but the concern was that DeepSeek may be doing it to build its own rival model, which is a breach of OpenAI’s terms of service. “The issue is when you [take it out of the platform and] are doing it to create your own model for your own purposes,” said one person close to OpenAI.
