I'm gonna sounds like a hypocrite now and say Ricky gets a pass from me because he's a legit legend and OG of the culture, and he does 0% posing. I've met him a bunch of times and he's one of the loveliest and most unassuming dudes ever. yeah I still hate UV lighting but when he does it I get it, he's been carving out his own lane for decades now. still not saying I like UV lights in ANY studio tho
unrelated side note: above the monitor in my studio I have a giant UV painting I did of my dog. I'm still not putting UV lights in here though
maybe it's posers I hate more than the lights
