Favorites From Flickr
Added 2023-03-28 00:15:30 +0000 UTCAlthough I've been interested in nude photography and erotic art for as long as I can remember, I didn't get my start taking nude self-portraits until May 2021 and then didn't share any of my photos online until January 2022. At that time, creating a premium channel like this Patreon account wasn't even on my mind and instead, I chose to post my content on Flickr and built up an audience of more than 2,000 followers in that first year.
Flickr was definitely a great place to start sharing but as I continued to build my platform and improve the quality of my work, I knew I would need to move my more premium content releases to a subscription-based service and decided Patreon was the best choice for me.
Over the weekend, as I thought about what to share on Patreon next, I realized some subscribers may not be aware of my early Flickr content unless they downloaded the "Photo Collection #1" digital book I released last week. So, I figured now would be the perfect time to share a collection of my favorite photos originally shared on Flickr and introduce (or reintroduce) everyone to my past work!
I've included a full range of photos in this post, all self-portraits posted in chronological order by date taken, and it's amazing to see the evolution of my style and progression in my photography skills as you scroll through them. Additionally, I've created a ZIP file of all photos and attached it below should you prefer to download them.
As the weather warms up in my part of the world, I'm looking forward to getting back out and shooting all new content, the majority of which will remain subscriber-exclusive to my Patreon subscribers. I can't wait to show you more!
Last but not least, for anyone following me on social media, my Instagram account was deactivated last week. I've created a new one in its place and invite you to follow me at instagram.com/michael_au_naturel to stay connected!
I hope your week is off to a great start!
