In Bewegung.
Ständig in Bewegung.
Der Mensch bleibt nicht still sitzen. Braucht Veränderung. Braucht Bewegung.
Im Low-Key-Look hat Tulpenstaub mir geholfen, dies umzusetzen. Vielen Dank!
about current work of our members at strkng.com
Tulpenstaub. Der Name hat mich gleich gefangen genommen. Hier trägt Tulpenstaub Flügel, präsentiert sie in schwarzweiß, in dunkler Kulisse.
Und doch ist sie es, die das Monochrom farbig erscheinen lässt, das Dunkel hell. Es ist ihr Wesen, ihre Ausstrahlung, die mich gefangen nimmt.
Angel in the Dark, Engel in der Dunkelheit; das ist Licht vom Himmel.
Danke, Tulpenstaub!
I created this series with Kitt. She brought green velvet dress and a Christmas tree with decorations to complete the scene. I’m using my Lomography Nour Triplet lens with the soft focus enabled. I love the dreamy astigmatized effect it has, and it kind of makes the world look a bit more like how I actually see it.
No one is perfect, and no body is perfect. While your skin appears perfect superficially, skin blemishes and other marks show if you look closely. That’s only natural. Our skin, the largest and most visible organ in the human body, protects us from the environment and plays an essential role in our physical appearance. Sometimes, our skin sustains damage, injuries, and scars. Wear them proudly and appreciate them as reminders received in the line of duty.
We have diverse body shapes because of our heritage, age, genetic makeup, lifestyles, and other factors. Social conventions might suggest that some bodies are more perfectly shaped than others, but body shape is subjective and fluid.
Unlike many other nude photography styles, one appeal of artistic nude photography can be empowering. It is more accepting of body shape and size, whether curvy or slim, older or younger, pale or dark complexion, etc. Perfection is not always essential; body and skin imperfections can add to the impact and narrative.
With modern, sophisticated photo editing software, indulging in skin retouching and manipulating body shape can be tempting. Whether you choose to do it and to what extent is the artist’s decision. Unlike documentary and journalistic photography, artistic photography does not impose authenticity.
Ultimately, successful artistic nude images are the culmination of hard work, creativity, skills, and a little luck. Art is created. It would be a shame not to allow others to share and appreciate it.
A fragment from a series in progress—
an exploration of narcissism not as vanity,
but as a fracture in perception.
Where the body seeks confirmation,
the reflection answers with invention.
Where the gaze looks for certainty,
the mirror returns a question.
This work is not about admiration—
it is about dependence,
about the quiet negotiations
between longing and illusion.
A study of how we watch ourselves—
and how, eventually,
the watching begins to watch back.

Sometimes closeness doesn’t begin in the hands,
but in the hesitation before them.
A body holding itself
not to hide—
but to speak without speaking.
Here, skin becomes a threshold,
light becomes invitation,
and a sideways glance becomes a question
that needs no answer.
Somewhere between retreat and opening
lives a single breath of courage.
And maybe that is already enough.
She stands where shadow tightens its grip,
arms crossed not to hide, but to listen.
The body remembers what language forgets:
the quiet weight of instinct,
the tenderness of restraint,
the animal patience of becoming.
Antlers curve like thoughts that never fully leave the mind —
present, hovering, protective.
Not a pose, but a pause.
Not surrender, but concentration.
A moment where strength turns inward
and waits.
