Warm greetings all. 🙏 💚
I have a growing interest in photography, and I've been taking a lot of photos in the past few months. I am a lover of beauty in all forms, but most especially in nature and women.
I am also a lover of nakedness, and not only being naked, but living naked. For context, I've lived barefooted and naked for more then three years now in an off-grid, clothing-optional intentional community, deep in the jungles of Lower Puna, on the Eastern tip of the Big Island of Hawai'i.
One of the most popular and beloved local beaches, Kehena, has been clothing-optional since 1955. I was taken to this beach one hour after I first touched down on the Big Island, and I've been in love with it ever since. I've been (happily) spending more time here again. As of late, I take photos almost wherever I go now, including Kehena.
Two weeks ago (on New Year's Day), my partner/girlfriend, Kaï Sunrise, our friend Leslie (from Germany) and I were spending time at Kehena, and we ended up having a spontaneous photo shoot (Kaï thought of the idea, and mentioned it to me and then to Leslie). I took the photos, and Kaï and Leslie played and posed on driftwood. They were both naked, but then so was I. I didn't say a 'naked photo shoot' because naked humans, both me and others, are very normal, natural, beautiful, innocent, and human for me.
I took over a hundred photos that day, many of them quite stunning. I shared them with both Kaï and Leslie, and since then they've just been sitting on my phone (and cloud storage). All three of us agree that we should do something with them, as they are truly beautiful. I have their consent to use and post the photos, and my first thought is to post them here on Hive, in an appropriate photography community.
QUESTIONS
So with that as context, I was wondering if posting them here in this community would be appropriate and acceptable?
Also, since there are over 100 images, far too many for one post, would posting them in multiple parts (installments?), with a day or two between posts, be an acceptable idea?
Since I see us and (our bodies) as wholes, I'm really not keen on using the NSFW tag, as to me, there is nothing 'wrong', 'unacceptable', or or 'inappropriate' with our innate beings, our bodies, or what is captured in the images I'd like to post. It would be lovely not being required to use it.
I figure that it would be beneficial to get these questions out of the way, as I'm around other naked humans very often, so I know that there will be more photos to post in the future.
I have to say, it's a little strange for me to make a post here without any photos! Consider it a pre-post post.
Thank you deeply for your time, attention, and willingness to assist. 🙏 💚
