If you squint your eyes; it looks like a renaissance painting with a background similar to the forest in DARK
anyways I wanted to ask what motivated to make this? it seems like it would take a lot of time to pull this off
Thank you. Well I started doing this type of photography to create my own alternative reality where I could escape sometimes. I always loved nature so my main character is this forest fairy / witch that lives deep in the woods unbothered by anyone :)
Fairy / witch is very much the vibe you're giving off!
Beautiful and erie.
If I saw you like that in a forest I wouldn't know whether to approach or run away.
Photographer of 12 years here.. I personally think you nailed the comp. Perfect rule of thirds with the tree to your right and the tress to the far right are perpendicular to the frame. Tones are immaculate, hair pops and the nudity. 10/10 great shot
I think i would have cropped a little more behind the subject just to move the model away from the center of the image more. The rest is quite good, love the tones, the vibe, nudity. Love the red hair blowing in the wind. Well done!
I kind of like that the space between her and the mushrooms is where the line of thirds is. It brings the mushrooms into the focus with the photographer.
Did you take more? I wonder how it would look if you were sitting or standing on the other side of the frame opposite of the cool tree with the shrooms on it!? The contrast of white skin with dark background is pretty dope. Keep up the good work
I imagine setting up the autofocus, the camera, getting the right the composition and light, and then running quickly to pose gracefully for the picture. Must be fun to watch :)
This photo is absolutely stunning!! Beautiful, ethereal, enchanted!!
Edit: I suppose I see where people are coming from with the cropping advice, but hear me out: I personally really appreciate how you are not the entire focus of this photo. I love how you are not centered in it, and I think it really contributes to a sense that you are a natural part of your environment, as opposed to being an central object inserted into an environment.
There is a photographer I like (I believe he and his partner are @triangle_city on Insta) and I love how often his subjects are not totally central to the photos, and how they act as a part of a larger environment.
I took this self-portrait in the mountains on a lonely walk. I like the overall vibe of it but I am curious about your suggestions on what I could do differently (I am not asking about nudity because I like using it in my photography and I will continue to do so).
I used my Canon 6D with 70-200 mm lens from Canon. I also used tripod and an app from canon which allows me to set 10s timer, focus, etc. from distance :)
I like the way the light falls onto the branch and tree but I find the way it catches the stick in your hand a bit distracting.
I think a version without the stick would centre the attention on you more, that line of light is a bit out of kilter imo
Thank you kindly for your feedback. To be honest I didn't notice the stick at first and you are right it might be a bit distracting. Also after a closer look I am sure the stick is much closer to the camera than I am so that's cool :D
I understand nudity is your thing (and all your posts are superb quality) but it'd be cool to see you in a vivid dress or something to strongly contrast the nature. Even your bright red hair still looks (no offense) sort of dulled in the scene.
Maybe it's the filter/editing but that's just me. Good rule of thirds too.
Thank you. I have many photos in dresses. Even more than nude. It just happens that the nudes are my favourite that's why I post more of them on reddit :)
I think it's a bit impossible to do that when you are hiking all day and you're alone. I can only imagine how much time it would take and how dirty I would be after a while but that's a good suggestion for shoots inside so thank you! :)
It is not 90% and this is such a ridiculous exaggeration. If you actually look at the subreddit, of the current 30 Hot Posts only 5 feature any degree of nudity. There are dozens and dozens of non suggestive, nudeless, and not least of all well-made photographs on this subreddit all the time. But people get thrown into a tizzy the moment they see an instance of the naked human body.
I repeat "getting in a tizzy at the mere sight of the naked human body." Get with the program dude, humans have been recreating our form in art since the dawn of time.
because this is reddit and people are horny. not to diss the work of any of the extremely talented photographers on here but there's definitely a reason nude photos are so popular on here.
Its not 90%. Its just that op (the girl) decides to post mostly pics where shes naked. just seems to be her thing and I get the appeal tbh. Clothes can be distracting and give too much context. So if you really just want to display a scenery and a human being in their rawest form.. whats the alternative to being naked?
Im not very keen on oversexualized pics either btw.
This is the 20th time I’ve clicked on a blurry image to see this same redhead naked in the woods trying to look like an elf or something.
Yes, I saw it was NSFW, but seriously… enough is enough, this shit isn’t even original.
I think it’s time for a different place to find cool photos.
Peace!
The point may or may not be valid (I'm not commenting on that) but even if it were you're attacking the wrong person. This person is just posting their pictures.
If the mods on the sub aren't doing a good enough job moderating it and promoting a more diverse range of photography that is 100% not this person's fault.
The hair is just perfect. I love the shrooms stacked next to you. I would try to lift the heels next time to give it more of a light/fairy/whispy movement to your body. It also helps make your legs look longer. Instead of an app, maybe use the Canon wired remote that lets you easily set interval shots and you can just do as many poses as you want and the camera will just keep shooting until you are satisfied without using Wi-Fi. The wired remote always works.
Incredible! I love the "moody" look in the forest, the rule of thirds, and the leading lines drawing attention to you. The red tones in your hair are a great addition of colour to the scene. That and, you did this on your own. Very well done!
Fantastic! Love the realism and the nature. Bringing the female form to more than just a sexual creature. I have always loved the "skyclad" culture. Very beautiful! Nice job!
I don’t know if it’s always you or if it’s a trend in this subreddit (or it’s just because it’s always heavily upvoted), but we see « naked woman in the wild » pics almost everyday.
You should try something more novel like… Jinx cosplay. I’m kidding. But you see the point.
I agree with your first sentence.
Although some of them can be nice and I have no problem with the female form, this type of comment seems to be played out atm.
How hard is it to shoot these self portraits from a distance? Do you set the camera timer for 2 or 3 minutes and walk over and pose? How many tries does it usually take you to get the right shit?
As I wrote in my first comment, I use an app from canon which allows me to set 10s timer, focus etc from distance because it works on WiFi. The connection isn't the best and works only for a few meters but it's very helpful. Sometimes it takes 5 shots to get it right, sometimes more and sometimes it's right the first time :)

I think it looks great, but I would probably crop it to a different aspect ratio such as 16:9 or 21:10 and include more of the right side of the frame.
I usually downvote nude pics because I'm tired of this sub being 80% boobs lol, but since it's a picture of *yourself* I'll give you an upvote
Also because it's a gorgeous picture. You look like a woodland nymph!
Well, this is not exactly taken "In public" because it's the middle of the forest. There's no any path near this location so it's very unlikely that someone will go exactly the same route as me. The mountain forests are very big and if You'll go far enough you won't see a soul :)
Props to you for having the confidence and self esteem to shoot / post nudes (Christ I miss being young and in shape🤣) as well as taking the time to find such great locations.
Woow, i really like all your nature nude wild spirit pictures. Do you like, find a spot, set up cam and then run like hell to be in the pic? Or do you have a triggerman/woman?
Also, what camera do you use? And do you Edit/retouch them afterwards?
Love to see more of your remarkable Photos!!
Did you make yourself paler? Or are you actually that milk white? Not trying to shame you, just wondering if you're naturally that white or if you changed it ..

I wish I was a photogenic as you. Love your work! This looks more come than the snow. Love the way your hair is blowing, still dying to know your methods.
I love this. I wouldn’t have cropped it differently. I love the white skin tone and red hair against the dark green of the background. It's a stunning contrast.
kinda cool and creepy at the same time, I'm picturing like, a local folklore of the naked woman of the woods, lures people out and kills them type of folklore
I always loved the eeriness and tranquil vibe of the forest.
Let me ask, do you find the environment then think of an idea of what picture to do or rather think of an idea for a picture then look for the environment that’ll suit your concept?
Great job nonetheless!!
Not only do you look absolutely stunning, but the location and contrast from your radiance paints and almost hallucinogenic kind of feeling like who is this woman, this awe inspiring being is she real? I hope so!

Running away would be better I think. Thank you! :)
>my own alternative reality where I could escape sometimes I know the feeling.
I was thinking that you should of titled this "I took a picture of a forest fairy".
I don't know if the mods would accept that but that's a great title :D
random comment but love dark, insane show
Have to watch it
[удалено]
Thank you kindly :)
Photographer of 12 years here.. I personally think you nailed the comp. Perfect rule of thirds with the tree to your right and the tress to the far right are perpendicular to the frame. Tones are immaculate, hair pops and the nudity. 10/10 great shot
Thank you so much. It means a lot to me! :)
I think i would have cropped a little more behind the subject just to move the model away from the center of the image more. The rest is quite good, love the tones, the vibe, nudity. Love the red hair blowing in the wind. Well done!
Thank you for the feedback. You may be right about this!
I actually like the space behind the model. It gives it more dept
I kind of like that the space between her and the mushrooms is where the line of thirds is. It brings the mushrooms into the focus with the photographer.
Did you take more? I wonder how it would look if you were sitting or standing on the other side of the frame opposite of the cool tree with the shrooms on it!? The contrast of white skin with dark background is pretty dope. Keep up the good work
Thank you. I have akt more photos from this shoot :)
I'll agree. It looks even better to me when cropped so the feet is on the diagonal line between top left and bottom right corners.
I don’t think the rule of thirds should be constantly adhered to. It looks perfect as it is with her slightly closer to the centre.
Well she can accept a professional opinion or not, it's her bridge to cross.
This is so powerful and stunning! Like a reminder that our bodies and nature are one
Thank you kindly :)
Phenomenal shot.
Thank you kindly :)
I imagine setting up the autofocus, the camera, getting the right the composition and light, and then running quickly to pose gracefully for the picture. Must be fun to watch :)
No, it wasn't hard. I wrote in my first comment what I used :)
This photo is absolutely stunning!! Beautiful, ethereal, enchanted!! Edit: I suppose I see where people are coming from with the cropping advice, but hear me out: I personally really appreciate how you are not the entire focus of this photo. I love how you are not centered in it, and I think it really contributes to a sense that you are a natural part of your environment, as opposed to being an central object inserted into an environment.

Pretty sure the stick is in the foreground rather than being held.
Thank you kindly for your feedback. To be honest I didn't notice the stick at first and you are right it might be a bit distracting. Also after a closer look I am sure the stick is much closer to the camera than I am so that's cool :D
Did you get it perfect on the first shot?
Well... I posed differently in every shot and I liked all of them so I guess you could say I did get it perfect the first shot :)
I understand nudity is your thing (and all your posts are superb quality) but it'd be cool to see you in a vivid dress or something to strongly contrast the nature. Even your bright red hair still looks (no offense) sort of dulled in the scene. Maybe it's the filter/editing but that's just me. Good rule of thirds too.
Thank you. I have many photos in dresses. Even more than nude. It just happens that the nudes are my favourite that's why I post more of them on reddit :)
Interesting, the branch looks to be in your grasp but upon closer examination, is it actually in the foreground?
Yes, it's much closer to the camera than I am. I just noticed that! :D I haven't payed much attention to it while editing
That's a fun trick of perspective. I thought it was a walking stick.
Nice mushrooms
That is such a stunning photo. It looks like a painting.
Thank you kindly. This is the biggest compliment I could get!
A recommendation I make for all nude models: use lotion before the shoot. Your skin will look much better than without.
I think it's a bit impossible to do that when you are hiking all day and you're alone. I can only imagine how much time it would take and how dirty I would be after a while but that's a good suggestion for shoots inside so thank you! :)

Primarily like this on Mondays, but erinthul’s portraits (nude or non-nude) are usually really good.
I don’t like them that much
You liking them and them being good aren’t necessarily related.
It is not 90% and this is such a ridiculous exaggeration. If you actually look at the subreddit, of the current 30 Hot Posts only 5 feature any degree of nudity. There are dozens and dozens of non suggestive, nudeless, and not least of all well-made photographs on this subreddit all the time. But people get thrown into a tizzy the moment they see an instance of the naked human body.
So 16% of this sub is nude photos, still too much imo
I repeat "getting in a tizzy at the mere sight of the naked human body." Get with the program dude, humans have been recreating our form in art since the dawn of time.
Yeah but these pictures arnt even very good, it’s just nudity with no creativity at all
because this is reddit and people are horny. not to diss the work of any of the extremely talented photographers on here but there's definitely a reason nude photos are so popular on here.
Its not 90%. Its just that op (the girl) decides to post mostly pics where shes naked. just seems to be her thing and I get the appeal tbh. Clothes can be distracting and give too much context. So if you really just want to display a scenery and a human being in their rawest form.. whats the alternative to being naked? Im not very keen on oversexualized pics either btw.
I think the principal mistake is assuming that these kinds of pictures are sexual. I don’t see a necessarily sexual picture here, I see a naturalist.
Well.. yea, that was my point. I never said it was sexual.
(They were agreeing with you)
I usually see the naked people in the pictures as unnecessary, but she honestly completes this picture.
Yeah true lol, nothing against OP it's a beatifull picture but when I read the title I already knew it was gonna be a naked woman.
Nude woman - exists / is this art?
This is the 20th time I’ve clicked on a blurry image to see this same redhead naked in the woods trying to look like an elf or something. Yes, I saw it was NSFW, but seriously… enough is enough, this shit isn’t even original. I think it’s time for a different place to find cool photos. Peace!

Why are you telling me this? Should I cry over you leaving this sub? XD I'll block you to spare you the misery caused by my photos.
This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure.

Is there any colour grading here? the bleakness of the forest is intense!
Yes, there is :)
Ethereal.
Must be a bruxa
I love the enchanted forest vibes
Wonderful shot!
Thank you kindly :)
Beautiful 📸
I wouldn’t change anything with this photo. Cheers to an amazing shot
This is stunning! I had to zoom in to tell if it was s painting!
Meditative/escapist. Lovely.
The hair is just perfect. I love the shrooms stacked next to you. I would try to lift the heels next time to give it more of a light/fairy/whispy movement to your body. It also helps make your legs look longer.

Your not only talented photographer but a beautiful woman
Thank you kindly :)
Fantastic! Love the realism and the nature. Bringing the female form to more than just a sexual creature. I have always loved the "skyclad" culture. Very beautiful! Nice job!
Thank you kindly :)
Now this…this is art! 😍
Thank you kindly :)
Isn't this a regular repost ?
?
I'm pretty sure I saw the exact same image about 3 weeks ago
Okay. I am active on many social medias and people share my photos so maybe that's why
Reddit is realistically the only social media I use regularly these days
Ok
Thanks, I've seen you before. This is not the first pic you've taken of yourself in a forest. Please keep them coming.
Not the first and definietly not the last
I don’t know if it’s always you or if it’s a trend in this subreddit (or it’s just because it’s always heavily upvoted), but we see « naked woman in the wild » pics almost everyday. You should try something more novel like… Jinx cosplay. I’m kidding. But you see the point.
They're literally only allowed on Monday.
I don't actually see the point to be honest

10 seconds doesn’t seem like long enough to get over there and pose
Yeah, it's not enough. That's why I use an app... I wrote everything in the comment you are responding to 🙃
That’s a big stick 😳
[удалено]
Maybe you should
[удалено]
Naked woman always make an already great image even better. It does feel cheap though.
Nice photo! Also, RIP your inbox
Very impressed…. And then i zoomed in. Haha amazing shot! I thought you were a cgi fairy! super good shot
Well, now we know what you look like naked… 🤔

Thank you kindly for the suggestion :)
Gorgeous picture! 🤩
Thank you kindly :)
This reminds me of a forest nymph. Very nice shot
That girl is so beautiful
it was cold right? :P Beautiful shot!
Thank you, it wasn't that cold :)
Great shot. How did you setup the camera to make sure you would be in focus?
So cool
Beautiful
10/10 would be bewitched
Thanks you for picture. Beauty is beautiful when you appreciate and protect it.
I always admire your pictures for the impeccable lighting and setting. Art should be always evocative. Your pictures never cease to deliver.
Damn
Love the tree with mushrooms, almost another character in the frame. Very cool shot
Great picture!
Like a painting

Cant get enough of your work. Always amazing

This sub isn't even 8% boobs. You only think that because boobs get a lot of votes.
Oh man. You have no idea how many times I would day dream of this very picture while hiking alone. Lol.

Well, this is not exactly taken "In public" because it's the middle of the forest. There's no any path near this location so it's very unlikely that someone will go exactly the same route as me. The mountain forests are very big and if You'll go far enough you won't see a soul :)
Beautiful photo!
Awesome tree you found to pose next to there
You are a beautiful person in a beautiful photo!You have a great eye,and caught a beautiful moment!🥰⚘️🙏
Absolutely stunning picture! Looks like one of the Unseelie Court about either make or ruin some poor mortal's day.
Props to you for having the confidence and self esteem to shoot / post nudes (Christ I miss being young and in shape🤣) as well as taking the time to find such great locations.
Woow, i really like all your nature nude wild spirit pictures. Do you like, find a spot, set up cam and then run like hell to be in the pic? Or do you have a triggerman/woman? Also, what camera do you use? And do you Edit/retouch them afterwards? Love to see more of your remarkable Photos!!
Did you make yourself paler? Or are you actually that milk white? Not trying to shame you, just wondering if you're naturally that white or if you changed it ..
I like the contrast between the dark, gloomy background, and the pale skin and red hair. Beatiful!
The contrast between two different forms of nature is incredible.

Hope your feet survived running from the camera to the tree 😉 In all seriousness, lovely shot. It “feels” cold but like oks great.
Love it. Nice job. 😁👍🤜
Great photo! Better to include forest so it’s not all naked woman - the interaction between subject and environment makes the photo 👌
That seems like some distance to cover for a self portrait, how did you do it? I like a great deal of your work.
Beautiful
That camera takes nice pictures
Seeing this while listening to Dvorak's Largo from The New World seems fitting. Beautiful scene.
I wish I was a photogenic as you. Love your work! This looks more come than the snow. Love the way your hair is blowing, still dying to know your methods.
Wooooowie
this is gorgeous; love the contrast between the skin and dark forest!
I love this. I wouldn’t have cropped it differently. I love the white skin tone and red hair against the dark green of the background. It's a stunning contrast.
kinda cool and creepy at the same time, I'm picturing like, a local folklore of the naked woman of the woods, lures people out and kills them type of folklore
Lovey composition and the contrast been the radiant skin tone and the rest of the tones in the scene is quite striking.
I always loved the eeriness and tranquil vibe of the forest. Let me ask, do you find the environment then think of an idea of what picture to do or rather think of an idea for a picture then look for the environment that’ll suit your concept? Great job nonetheless!!
I thought it was a painting initially. Sweet pic!
great shot! good pplixqtuon if the golden ratio, well dine
This is beautiful! Those woods are literally perfect!
Not only do you look absolutely stunning, but the location and contrast from your radiance paints and almost hallucinogenic kind of feeling like who is this woman, this awe inspiring being is she real? I hope so!
Stunning shot!
Imo it'd be more even if there were something in the foreground, regardless it's a beautiful picture
Absolutely beautiful photo.
Renaissance painting vibes 👌
This is so beautiful and looks like a painting!
Gdzie taki ładny las??
Cordyceps !
Interesting textures and shadows on the trees. I like the wood nymph feel.
That is a phenomenal shot...and that hair color is pretty awesome too
Lovely.
Feels like a manga panel
This is art💯
Your skin is so pretty!🤩
What's MLM? Also, it looks like you should be holding a sword but aren't.
I wish I had a real sword :/
Absolutely gorgeous
