But barring some specific reason, I agree: to network and give credit to those creative people involved should be the norm.

Models should credit photogs, too.

Some prefer to stay anonymous.
Some don't have social media- so you could list a name, but no link.
Some may be sharing older work, and the model has retired, and wants to stay that way.
There may be other valid reasons.

I have, actually! I tried taping some translucent paper over the light, to see if that cut down on the multi-shadow effect. I can't say for sure whether the experiment was successful or not, as the effect doesn't seem to show up every time, anyway. But it's always worth trying new things, right?

Fun illusion!

Great!

Beautiful exposures; really creative and expressive!

The main advantage is that they are inexpensive! Way cheaper than a big lighting setup.
They are also very portable, small, easy to carry to a location or anywhere. Battery-powered. They also have a loop to hang from something, and magnets on the back, to stick to a metal stand, or something.

Another disadvantage is that these are LED lights; each LED is in a row, and sometimes this can cause the effect of several small lights, each with their own shadows, rather than a single consistent light. It doesn't happen in every shot, but I have noticed the effect in some photos.

One disadvantage is that it takes up your model's hands, so you have to make sure their hands are out of shot, or can be cropped out- and the pose will need to be with her arms in a position to hold the lights. It could be done with a couple of assistants, if you have them, which I don't.

The very first images I shared here on BlueSky- the torso lit from the sides: same setup. Dark studio, one light wand in each hand. The model can move the lights up or down or front or back or twist the direction slightly = different shadows. Easier to adjust than fixed lights on a stand.

The backdrop is a draped plain gray curtain. She is staring up and to her right, with a bold expression that is up to interpretation. In her hands we can see the source of the light: each holds a light wand- like a long flashlight- which are illuminating her form.

2018, Masha Poses.
Lit with only two hand-held light wands from Menards hardware store, as can be seen in the fourth photo. I've used these lights several times. They have some advantages and disadvantages, but overall I've found them very effective. And inexpensive, for a photog on a budget!

The sense of joy and freedom, and joy IN freedom in the vast outdoors. Beauty.

You two go so well together! <3

They went ahead and added a "non-sexual artistic nudity" label, as well!
Boy, I can't figure these guys out. Whatever. Small annoyances, in the grand scheme of things.
I'm just happy to share my work where like-minded folks and I can appreciate each other.

I put a "sexually explicit nudity" label on this, but it isn't, really: the nudity in these is mild- just a few nipples- and purely artistic.
But the 'bots here seem to add the "sexual" label to even artistic nudes, so I figured I'd save them the trouble.
Have you noticed that?

Two redheaded women with curly / wavy hair. Topless, standing side by side with their arms around each other's waists, their heads close together. The lighting is dark and moody: a blue light up and to the right; a soft white light below and to the left, the result is mostly under-lit. They both regard the camera, with mysterious expressions on their faces.

Redheads are my weakness, what can I say? How about you?

I be honest I'm not usually into rope and shibari stuff. No shade; just not my bag, apparently. But this one is beautiful! The symmetry, the style. Looks actually comfortable. I admire the artistry!

One of the great beauties of Early Film-making, and indeed of all time!

Wow! What a feeling of weightlessness! Bravo!

The late Evelyn Sinclair, from a session in 2018. We only worked together this one time, but she was a pleasure to work with, and we got some nice images. I'll be sure to share more at some point..

I like the color one better.

I've wanted to do a good shoot like this for a while!

The intense stare and stark B/W style bring to mind the silent film stars, both Brigitte Helm from "Metropolis" and Theda Bara as Cleopatra.

I had a pet like that for eighteen years. Beauty!
