Nicole Nu

Two more photos from my reclamation self portrait session last week.

📸 Self portrait

Thanks 😊

A reclamation of my body as mine.
Of my art as a mirror of emotion, not performance.
Of nudity as natural, not inherently sexual. I’m not trying to provoke - I’m returning to a place where my body isn’t a statement, a symbol, or a spectacle.
It just is. Breathing. Belonging. Free.

Re-edit from a self portrait I did back in 2021.

Ready for suns out, buns out season ☀️

Self portrait

Every year, without fail, it’s around now that I start dreaming of a hot summer day and a cool pool to chill in. Self portrait taken in Mexico.

A photo of art model Nicole Nu by photographer Rab Townsend. Nicole is posing nude in purple and blue light against a violet background. Both of her hands are buried in her long red hair, with her elbows raised up. She is about 7 months pregnant. Her body is angled to the right of frame, so that her belly is apparent, but her pose is open and dominant. Her eyes are closed and her lips are parted.

creative destruction.

Toronto. October 21st, 2023.
The remains of the worldly tethers that restrained us will be the foundations upon which we build our new prisons.

Sure! Just credit me when posting 😊

Yes - I only shot for about 2 mins before I was done

Decided to do a re-edit from my self portrait winter shoot I did back in 2022. What do we think?

A photo of art model Nicole Nu by photographer Rab Townsend. Nicole is posing nude in purple light against a blue background. Her red hair is caught in motion and her right hand is raised in a gesture next to her face. She is gazing somewhat regally into the camera. She is six or seven months pregnant, resting her left arm across her belly.

portents.

Toronto. October 21st, 2023.
There is no ambiguity about the signs. The ambiguity is what they portend, and what role we will each play, if any.

Ugh, that sucks, I’m sorry 😔

But seeing that, my middle name is Nicole so that might be why it was OK

I had that happen as well many years ago and I sent in my ID as well as a photo of me holding up the code that they sent me. They didn’t make me change my name

Crept away to my basement studio to get a couple more self portrait done before the new year ❤️

That’s it! 🙂

And also Gary shoots very quickly and I had a winter trench coat
