- When I gave her the word search puzzles, I didn't expect I’d be the one struggling to focus. Twelve hours earlier, I didn’t even know we were going to shoot. She messaged me at 9pm: "Hey, I’m in Valencia. Sunrise or sunset?" 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 🧵⬇️

View full threadAnastasia brought this incredible energy: calm, wild, totally open. One minute she was laughing, the next she was sitting there, legs wide in a striped beach chair, circling fake answers in the sun. Not planned. Not styled. Just real.
- If you’re curious… yes, the full gallery and BTS are up on Patreon. And yes, she solved exactly zero of the puzzles. 😂 Thank you to everyone supporting me there! You make these strange, beautiful moments possible. patreon.com/thatarnold
- There was no time to plan anything. I threw a bag of cheap sunglasses in the car, plus a tennis visor I had lying around. And a random word search booklet that had been stuck behind my seat for months. I had no idea those things would come together like this. #nudemodel #nudeart #nudephotoshoot
- By 8.30 am she was naked in the forest, casually doing a word search puzzle like it was the most normal thing in the world. At one point a guy on a mountain bike rode by and almost fell into a bush. Can you blame him?
- This was my very first photoshoot. Buenos Aires, 2016. I sent a bunch of DMs to pretty girls on Instagram… and one replied. Her name was Carolina. And she agreed to let me take some photos of her in the park. I couldn't have been more excited! 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 ⬇️🧵

- She was lovely indeed. We did do a few more shoots. But I left Argentina after about a year, and after that I never saw her again.

- Thanks! And very glad you like it!
- Diana stepped under the beach shower in a white swimsuit. The sun was behind her. And I knew right away… I’d need to shoot this carefully. This outfit wasn't made for wet conditions. 😉 📸 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗣 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬: If the swimsuit goes see-through, shoot backlit... unless you want a content warning.

- Yeah. I know. But I let it slip. Didn't send any complaints to the manufacturer. 😉 It worked out fine this way
- There’s a huge difference between working with beginners and with experienced models. Viktoria and Olivia are clearly the latter. READ FULL THREAD 🧵⬇️

- Haha gotta improvise sometimes 🫠
- What would you do if you were at the bar with a friend, watching Champions League football, beer in hand… and you got a message from a nude art model saying: “Hey, how are you? Wanna shoot at sunrise?” Would you finish your drink? Stay till the game's over? Or would you do what I did? READ ON ⬇️🧵

- Thanks 😊 I'm just trying to make my posts fun to read!
- Now, 8 and a half years later, I still wake up excited to edit, to shoot, to plan the next story. That same feeling from day one... it never left. And that's the whole point.
- I never imagined this life when I started. But here’s the thing. If you feel the fire, follow it. Even if it makes no sense at first. Even if nobody else gets it. 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜. You never know where it might take you.
- I had just moved from Belgium. Didn’t speak a word of Spanish—except maybe “fiesta” and “playa.” I stole the old camera my parents had bought for my little sister when she went to art school. Just a basic 18–55mm kit lens. Honestly, I had no clue what I was doing!
- Immediately after that shoot, I went out to buy a 50mm portrait lens. And that’s when things started to click. In the next six weeks, I did 12 shoots (I checked!) No clients, no experience... just instinct, curiosity, and a drive to keep going. The photos? Not great. But the passion? So real.
- This is what an early morning in Tenerife looks like when you’re shooting with Daniela. Sleepy eyes, salty air, and bikini tops flying towards my camera! ☺️ It’s all in the video, but let’s be honest, BlueSky video... 🫠 Watch the full reel in better quality on IG: www.instagram.com/reel/DCTb_17...

- Yeah. Once you see what goes into creating photos like this... It's very rewarding to see the results afterwards

- Thanks!
- To everyone who’s been part of my journey as a photographer on Patreon: thank you. I appreciate every single one of you. Honestly. Feel free and comfortable, and remember... it’s your own body. See you soon, Arnold ✌️ 🔗 THATARNOLD.com
- Let's try something new. A serious question for the real ones on here. When you look at these photos, what stands out most to you? A) The confidence these girls have. B) The chemistry between photographer and models. C) The concept behind the photos. D) Honestly? Just the girls. They're hot. ⬇️💬

- I get what you mean, but honestly, if you think luck has got anything to do with what I'm doing with my life, you'll never get "lucky" 😉 it's a conscious decision and lots of hard work and dedication.
- You can feel it... and you can see it too. In the photos but it also shows in these two short clips.
- Fully at ease in their own bodies. No awkwardness. No hesitation. They’re not performing. They're not trying to seduce anyone. They’re just being.

- Thanks Jacky. Appreciate it 👍🏼☺️
- Fantastic pic
- Thank you very much 😊
- Golden hour. One model. Two very convincing reasons to double-check your focus settings. Shot this on the rocks in Alicante. Eva put on this orange swimsuit. Easy job for me. Perfect light, pro model... Right? Until this moment. Focussing suddenly became much harder. #photoshoot #topless

- Wide-open is the right word here
- She’s the kind of model that makes your camera nervous. Confident, stunning, completely at ease with her body... and with being looked at. More from this wild sunset shoot on my Patreon. You already know where to look. THATARNOLD.com 🔗
- You can’t hear her little laugh when she realized I was still filming. And you definitely can’t feel what it was like to be there. But I tried to capture it. For the people who like to see what happens between the planned poses… you know where to go. 😊🫶🏼 patreon.com/thatarnold

- I mean... You know we want the hot models🔥, but I would love to see more. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
- Haha well said. So true. I love doing photoshoots, no doubt. It's fun, exciting and I know people love to see that type of photos... But it's also very rewarding to try out other things. And to know people like what you're doing even if there aren't any half naked chicks involved. 🙈

- Nothing beats Valencia 😊🙌🏼
- I hadn’t planned anything. No moodboard, no outfits. But when someone like Anastasia DMs you, you don’t need a plan. You just show up and let the story unfold. These were the first photos of that morning.
- There’s more. So much more. But that part’s for another day. (And for the people supporting me on Patreon—you’ve already seen it all.) Thanks for making mornings like this possible. You know who you are. patreon.com/thatarnold
- Next morning, there she was. Tall. Blonde. Ukrainian accent. Wrapped in a towel. Calm as ever.
- It was colder than expected, but she didn’t flinch. We started slow—bikini on, soft light rising behind her, that playful attitude she has. Her top came off soon after, cause… well, the moment was too good to waste on IG-friendly shots.
- I stared at my phone. Looked at the game. Looked at my beer. Then I showed my friend Travis the message. He read it, smiled, and said: “Bro…” I left before the match even ended. Packed my bag. Didn’t sleep much.
