Playtime

We struck a deal to produce naturist content for an American naturism channel that seeks to normalize nudity and naturism in the everyday. This shoot was a demonstration of naturist board gaming.

Naturism Fact: We created naturist rules for playing certain board games in a way that eases participants into disrobing and being comfortable playing naked.

Co-existance at the Gallery

We call these shoots co-existence, where naturists and non-naturists socialize with respect. This was at Blunt Moya's exhibition in Parkhurst, it was coupled with an interview on naturism and this concept of co-existence. Blunt also specializes in artistic nude photography and we found it an ideal occasion to normalize nudity and deliver the message of naturism.

Naturism Fact: Art galleries are great locations for nude expression as artists and art enthusiasts ...

Crazy Life Drawing

One of the funniest, most meditative days at East Lynne House. Muvumbi Ndzalama and I had started shooting some meditative activities as amateurs which we intend to continue with as part of our science of naturism. We quickly found life drawing to be more about appreciating the beauty and diversity of the natural human form than anything else.

Naturism Fact: Life drawing isn't the reserve of professional artists, anyone can try it, there are numerous studios that accept...

A Food & Cooking Show

Although short lived, we once upon a time, had a cooking show with Muvumbi Ndzalama. Our one and only episode was with Chef Noni, one of the most wonderful spirits you'll ever meet. Chef Noni specializes in indigenous African cuisine comprising rich grains and hearty greens that take you back to the kinds of meals our ancestors may have enjoyed. This was shot at her indigenous shop.

Naturism Fact: As a precaution, it's advisable to wear covering when cooking something t...

East Lynne House

We were extremely fortunate to have naturist friends of ours share their vacant house with us to use as a shooting location and a space for naturist socials. We named it East Lynne House, after the area it's in. It's now a family home and no longer in our management, but we'll forever be grateful for their immense kindness and open hearts. Our first shoot at the house was a casual chill session.

Tour de Sun

Juanita Pretorius organises the Cape Town edition of the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR Cape Town). We were discussing the logistics of participating in the 2023 ride in promotion and awareness of naturism. The plan is to attend our first one in March 2023. It felt appropriate to chat while on a naked bike ride at a naturist resort.

Fun Fact: The World Naked Bike Ride takes place in numerous cities around the globe and at different times of the year. Alth...

A Question of Culture

We'd often shoot two episodes of The Feel-Good Naked Podcast in one go. This session produced two very popular episodes. In the one, we had two cultural preservationists from the Ndebele and Swati cultures, and in the other, we had a young naturist couple of whom the lady is also an artistic nude model. We were informed on culture, tradition, and how some arrive at their cultural lifestyle choices.

Fun Fact: There are numerous cultures and practices in South Af...

Discovering Naked Yoga

In an attempt to promote and encourage healthy naturism even to city dwellers, a naked yogi offered us yoga sessions held in a Jo'burg apartment. We kept a heater running when the warm season slowed down. We also created yoga video tutorials for an American naturism channel.

Fun Fact: We found that the combination of nudity and light exercise extremely uplifting.

The Feel-Good Naked Podcast Begins

Following our earlier idea to educate through an insightful journal, we thought to add a practical naturism podcast to the mix. We wanted a video podcast that gives insights into people's healthy expressions of nudity and their bodies. With Babalwa and I (Vonks) as hosts, these photos are from the first episode. The podcast has since evolved into The Science of Naturism.

Fun Fact: Any person with a living human body of any kind and condition can be a naturist.

Planting the Seed for the Journal

The idea to record an educational and insightful journal of naturism was bounced around at a 2021 trip we had, but it was at a social meeting in 2022, during our friend's birthday weekend, where the idea truly crystallized, paving the way for much of our future journaling.

Fun Fact: Layering in a loose gown, sarong, or t-shirt is common and acceptable when one feels somewhat chilly, especially in winter.
