Art in its various
forms, whether sculpting, sketching, painting or photography is about
self-expression. It gives the viewer a glimpse of the current stage of life the
artist is in. As I travel through my different stages, currently it is outside
the box imagery. This normally includes beautiful bodies, mostly female, with
the occasional dash of males when they are available. 
With all the
diversity art has to offer. It is not for everyone. I believe that art should
be shared to only those interested. The female form is beautiful! Throw in out-of-the-box concepts, props and different lighting techniques then you have a
compelling shot that tells a story. There is no right or wrong way to interpret
an image. It is personal; it is unique. If you believe that the female body is
beautiful, if you like to look at images that are sexy and try to interpret the
emotion captured, then I believe you will like my photography style. My name is Tyme Cich, owner of Subtle Shades Photography. Although I work full time as a small business consultant. I spend most of my free time doing photography. Photography like any art is about capturing themes and subjects that interest me. As with any artist, I initially started shooting the very things everyone else did. Well it got boring. So I started focusing on content that peaked my interest. At the time I was living in Europe, Italy and Germany, so the subjects I photographed were sexy and glamorous, being it is a more accepting community. Now that I have moved back to Oklahoma, some of the artwork I produce is sometimes frowned upon. This means a large number of my artwork never sees the light of day. What is art if I cannot share it. I built this Patreon page to have the opportunity to share my work with those that are interested in my particular style. What do I shoot? Mainly fine art nude work. Don't get me wrong, I keep everything tasteful, fun and artistic. I accompany some of my images with erotic stories to help give my images depth. *Please note the stories attached to the images do not represent the actions of the models. I'm also frequently putting together themed projects to fine tune my skills as a photographer and experiment with different lighting setups. Some of my past projects include covering people up in liquid latex, placing seafood, Octopus/Lobsters on the bodies of beautiful women and have even tried making a zombie sex toy catalog. Like I said, not readily accepted. Where will the contributions go? Most of these projects come at a cost. Constantly upgrading camera gear and equipment, props, lighting and hiring models quickly drains the budget. With the help of Patrons, like you, I'm able to acquire the necessary things to continue these projects. Rewards Depending on your level of support, the rewards are access to various digital rewards.
