Hello!

I'm Nathaniel / The Nudie Mag, a 41 year old nonbinary photographer with sliding scale rates in the Seattle / Tacoma (and larger PNW) area!

This fall we'll be doing spookies, autumn colors, cozies, fighting fascism, and whatever we feel like doing!

Ask me anything in the comments below!

I also very much appreciate the people that were at one time regulars that went on many adventures with me, but that I've lost touch with over the years. I'm thankful for the memories, and hope that they're doing well, whatever they are up to these days.

Thanks again to Thrice, on this day in 2021

As a spooky Halloween bonus, here is our nudie version of one of my favorite scary stories, "The Girl with the Green Ribbon"

Photo: Mistress of Magik standing naked in the rain next to a garden pond

Text: Whilst walking through the woods one day, I happened upon a beautiful young woman, completely naked, save for a silk ribbon she wore tied around her neck. When she noticed my gaze, rather than run away, she beckoned me closer. I slowly approached, and, at a loss for words, the only thing I could think to say was, 'why do you wear that silk ribbon around your neck?' The girl looked away sadly, and said with a sigh, 'I cannot ever remove this ribbon, and I cannot tell you why. But nevermind that - come with me, and we can frolick amongst the trees for as long as you please, and together we can live happily ever after.'

Text: I followed her deeper into the woods, and, true to her word, we had the most amazing time frolicking along the trees, running with the deer and other animals who greeted us as friends, and before long I knew that I was falling in love with this woman. And yet, there was something gnawing at the back of my mind, and I could not hold my silence any longer, so I said, 'my dear, this day has been perhaps the best day of my life, and I would like nothing more than to stay here with you as long as you would have me, but I just can't get this silly question out of my head: why must you wear that silk ribbon around your neck?' Again she looked morose, turned away, and said 'I have already told you - I can never remove this ribbon from my neck, and I cannot tell you why. Now, please drop this subject - if you just leave it alone, we can stay together and live happily ever after.'

Photo: Mistress of Magik sitting naked in the rain on a stone bench

Text: By the end of the day, I knew that I was hopelessly in love with this mysterious woman, and so when we came to a picturesque spot, I dropped to one knee and said, 'darling, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on, and having met you, I feel that I cannot live without you. Please, would you marry me and be my wife?' The woman smiled, and happily agreed. 'First though,' I stammered sheepishly, ' if we are to wed, I simply must know, or the curiosity may drive me mad... Why must you wear that silk ribbon around your neck?' Immediately her smile faded, her eyes deeply sad, and she said, 'we could have been happy together forever, but since you cannot leave well enough alone, I will show you why.' Gently, she reached her hand to her neck, untied the silk ribbon...

Some folks come out for a nudie photo expedition once, some come out for each of the four seasons, and I'm lucky that a few have stuck around and become among my closest friends!

Thanks again to @mistressofmagik.bsky.social for braving the rain on this day in 2020, and for still being here today!

As a theater person, I've always been interested in the line between what happens in the performance on stage and what happens backstage in the mysterious and magical world on the other side of the red curtain

As it gets colder we may need to put on extra layers to stay warm, but we're still nudies underneath it all

Skinny-dipping in a lake is extra dangerous in a horror movie, which is why we should take extra pleasure in it to celebrate that we're not living in a horror movie

(I promise we're not even though it might kinda feel like it at the moment)

Magic is especially powerful this year, but be careful trifling with forces you don't understand, as magic can be dangerous if it gets out of control

In the sun or the haze, the forest is our playground, so take a break from doom scrolling to go play in the leaves

Go spend some extra time in the parks - the trees need defending from being shut down, sold off, and privatized, and in return the trees will help you reconnect with your roots, and you may even become close friends

Special thanks to @elmariecat.bsky.social for coming out for the first time!

Feeling like a forest nymph thanks to @thenudiemag.com
You can feel the magic in the air. The quiet and calm as the forest breathes around you.
Embrace the moment, live deliciously, and never be afraid to let your true self glow.

A common recurring motif in horror movies is that as soon as a character gets naked, they get killed by whatever homicidal maniac or monster is out there, but here at The Nudie Mag we hope to make it safe to get naked at summer camp!

Our expeditions are all about going exploring and finding what we find while we're out there, but sometimes we get extra lucky, and it almost seems like the locations, atmosphere, and random pumpkins were placed there just for us

Halloween time is all about finding joy in the things that scare us, and that's also what The Nudie Mag is all about.

Our own bodies can be terrifying, but also lots of fun if we can get past our fears and insecurities

Leaves are amazing because they help the trees grow, turn beautiful colors in the autumn, and after they fall they're fun to play with before turning to soil and starting it all up again the next year

In the fall we start spending more time indoors rather than out in the sun, but this place was one of the rare ones where you can do both at the same time

If you have recommendations for indoor places we should check out this fall, let us know!

Comparison is a dangerous game; what appears perfect can be struggling with troubles you can't imagine, and if you compare yourself to a tree it's easy to forget that they've had a hundred years head start to get where they are now

Enjoy who you are, where you are

If you're stuck in the dark, maybe you just need to keep climbing until you get out of the shadows and into the sun

(Or maybe it's night and we've got a long wait until the sunrise, but even then, the night is only temporary, as much as it may insist otherwise)
