Another gallery full of appreciation and respect for the female form and ideas. I think that it's those liberating galleries that actually made Abby Winters what it is today. People started getting sick of watching the same super-models being detached and mechanical. It's this 'professionalism' that kills a lot of galleries and make a lot of super-models less human.
For those young Amazing Australian women, it's about the experience. It's an adventure, a session of self-appreciation. There's nothing wrong about knowing that you are beautiful and that others would actually be glad to enjoy your beauty, the way you are. No scalpels, no stitches, no saline-filled bags, no injections. It's a small rebellion against the standardization of beauty and its attributes.
It's no secret that a model's ideas can make her more beautiful - or less beautiful. Beauty was all about physical features before we got our cerebral cortex and our ability to think in abstract terms. We have added many personal attributes to the equation. Those attributes make the difference between an unfulfilling sexual encounter that leaves you feeling hollow afterwards, and a session of passion that makes you feeling positive and full of love for life afterwards.
If you have no respect for who you are, or for your partner, then it's all going to be mechanical and it'll only be a nightmare that's void of feelings. If you feel guilty about sex or humanity, then you're only destroying yourself. The world is full of bad things, but it's also full of beauty, beauty that we can create, that we can work for.
Those galleries celebrate that beauty, show the beauty of our lives, far from glamorous lights and make-up. The life that we live is full of beauty, and those are instances of that beauty. Of that respect that we should have for ourselves.
They show the beauty of humanity.
The most beautiful thing about Kaitlin is her vibrant personality. It may not be that visible in this rather small gallery, but it definitely is in the full gallery. Choosing the images was really difficult, as the entire series is just full of beauty.
I would also like to congratulate AbbyWinters on the fact that they did not retouch her skin in any way. This is what AbbyWinters is about, showing the beauty of the girl next door. I am starting to wonder if all Melbourne girls are that lovely. Many of them are on AbbyWinters and most of them are truly wonderful young women who set a great example with their self-confidence and natural charm.
There are even some wonderful behind-the-scene images - backstage 153 if you're a member - that I can't feature here at the moment.
Recently, I received the saddening news that AbbyWinters is being forced out of Australia. They'll settle in the Netherlands, but the CEO promised that nothing will change. He said that they will have the same girls, same personalities, just that nationality will not matter anymore. I will definitely miss seeing all those wonderful Australian in such positive light and wonderful atmosphere, but at least we will get to see more beauty from Europe.
It took me a bit of convincing to feature galleries from Abby Winters again. They have just updated their entire website, and removed a lot of elements that I found objectionable in the past. You'll probably see a fair amount of galleries from there from now on. Not exactly for the sake of Abby, but for the sake of those wonderful young women who show an extraordinary amount of courage in the process of discovering themselves and redefining beauty for the world.
There are models who became photographers and staff members. They have redefined Abby Winters and made it the successful website that it is today.
Those are "ordinary" young women who radiate energy, fun, confidence, and self-respect. They walk into a place with the decision to share their beauty with the world. Some of them don't see what the big deal is, others do know that they're changing the world. They populate the canvas of an alternative reality that is both innocent - and at times sexual, a reality without bigotry that many people long for. An alternative reality in which Pandora opens the box to only let out hope, and leave everything else behind.
Those young women offer a tantalizing glimpse of that world. They tell us that it's still possible to create such a world if we try hard enough. A brave world of vivacious liberty, open-mindedness and equality. A world without dogmas or any blind-acceptance of ideas.
While viewing those images "What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong came to mind. It's not a surprise, those images are a work of art. The most artistic thing about them is the human element. Those women who
Those wonderful women "come from a land down under" - sorry, couldn't resist. A land of immense beauty. I somehow have a mental association between the vastness of it and freedom. I have the impression that you can get on your bike or in your car and go on the road for days without really finding anything to stop you. I don't really know if those are stereotypes, but they're pretty harmless - I haven't mentioned vegemite after all.
This set is full of sunshine, beauty, and a very pretty young woman who has appeared more than once at Abby Winters. I am certainly glad that she has graced GN with her beauty. She's admirably confident with a magical spirit that she endows on the entire set. It's simply awe-inspiring.
The best thing about Abby Winters is their main message which is that ordinary girls are beautiful too. They're basically trying to undo the damaging effects of pornography on the image of women and their sexuality. The emotions of the models are never understated even in their most explicit galleries, they will never make the model make fake her emotions or to exaggerate them. The smiles are always genuine and the beauty of their models is always shown. I believe that all of these characteristics of all of the Abby Winters galleries are the reason they are so different and successful.
They are trying to change the common misconceptions about female sexuality and to change the double standards that the society has against the beauty of the females and their freedom. They are trying to remove the false values that are disseminated by the unethical and misleading pornographic websites that are very disrespectful and humiliating. A woman shouldn't be free of any body hair in order to be beautiful, she doesn't have to have breast implants in order to be beautiful, she doesn't have to have a 5 years experience in modelling in order to be beautiful, she doesn't have to be shot by a veteran photographer of artistic nudity in order to be beautiful, she doesn't have to make those fake disgracious faces in order to be beautiful, she doesn't have to have 0% body fat in order to be beautiful, she doesn't have to go to the gym for 2 hours everyday in order to be beautiful. All she needs to be beautiful on Abby Winters is to be herself, with all of her fantasies, with her own personality, and with her own emotions. These are the reasons I have never had a bad feeling posting a link to Abby Winters here on Graceful Nudes even though they have a lot of explicit and sexual galleries on their website, because they do everything with respect to their models and to the viewer's intelligence.
I really love this gallery. And before describing my own feelings about the gallery I will paraphrase what is said at AbbyWinters.com about this gallery.
The main inspiration behind the creation of this gallery is a mythical creature called the 'Selkie' or the 'Silkie' in the Irish, Icelandic, and Scottish mythology. These creatures can change from the seal form to the human form after shedding their pelt to reveal the most beautiful woman that is known to man. A human who loves a selkie must hide or burn her seal skin that she has shed in order to prevent her from returning to the sea as if she finds her seal skin she will be forced to return back to the sea and to leave her lovelorn human husband and she will also be prevented from making any contact with human beings for seven years. This was the main mythological story behind the creation of this beautiful gallery.
It's amazing how a simply mythological story about a beautiful creature can survive for so many years and to result in the creation of such beautiful works of art. It's also a fascinating thing as such a story can be combined with the beautiful imagery to make you have an untellable experience, just like the classic paintings that depict battles or scenes from the classical mythology.
I did love this gallery because Isabel is very natural and amazingly alluring, the location is wonderful and the lighting is simply great. Isabel isn't afraid to smile and her uninhibited soul really does permeate every single image. I can only say that it's like nothing I have seen before.
This gallery truly shows what can be done when you know how to show the real beauty of your models and being brave about doing so. It's indeed the ultimate beauty and grace.
I hope that you will enjoy this wonderful Abby Winters gallery.
You probably know by now that I am very passionate about the Abby Winters gallery that I add to Graceful Nudes, the reason behind this passion is, quite simply, that I always appreciate seeing the models having fun. Being aware that those models are there to have some fun dramatically change the way in which those photographs are presented.
It's quite unfortunate that a lot of photographers do forget the power of a model's smile. Not only does it ease a model's anxiety, but also make her look more beautiful. I find it very perplexing that a lot of photographs feature models who have neutral facial expressions, as this adds a sullen atmosphere to the images. This, in turn, gives the opponents of nudity the ability to make those apocryphal claims which destroy the picture of the models and disrespect them. A smile can add a lot of charm to a gallery and this is something that we should never forget.
Another beautiful thing about Abby Winters is that most of the models are really there to try something different and to have some fun. This small fact is the main factor that's earned Abby Winters the title of the best amateur site on the Internet. They always find new beautiful models who aren't afraid to share their pristine beauty, they make them as comfortable as possible, and they respect their models.
"Models are our life-blood, so you'll always be respected. We pay more than most sites--and mags--out there, your photographer is female, and most of the people you'll have contact with have done modeling for us before too, so they will know how you feel." - Abby Winters
This is a quote from the Abby Winters "be a model" page, you can clearly see their attitude which really is the main driving force behind their success.
They may have some explicit content, but I always find some beautiful images in almost every gallery, there are a lot of models there. You will find models there who always are beautiful and most of all natural, those are the women that we deal with in our everyday lives, they didn't have to undergo a dozen of plastic surgeries to look that beautiful. There are few websites which dare to show you the flaws of the models alongside their other beautiful aspects, this is something that I truly respect.
This gallery is called Yellow Dress because McKenzie was wearing a Yellow Dress at the beginning of the gallery, but I simply chose the most inspiring images that I found there.
This gallery was shot on a beautiful lush green location in a beautiful lake. Seeing McKenzie emerge from the clear lake with all of those waterdrops covering her body has reminded me of nature and the forests, the water drops were like nature's dew that covers the beautiful leaves everyday, it really was natural and most of all beautiful.
I truly hope that you will enjoy this Abby Winters gallery.
You may remember Bess from the "Sweet and Romantic" gallery that I have posted a while ago. I promised that I will post her second gallery and here I am doing just that. I personally believe that this gallery is more beautiful than the other one, but I generally prefer outdoor settings.
Bess is clearly having a lot of fun in this shoot which is something that I really like. Almost all of the Abby Winters models are having fun during the photo shoot no matter what the nature of the shoot is. I believe that this is a clear sign that they respect their models and that the models are pretty comfortable being there which, in turn, means that the images will be of a better quality and will have a higher ability of inspiring us.
I am sorry I couldn't include any more pictures, I just have a strict policy against Bikinis and the shoot started while she was wearing a Bikini, it wasn't sexual, but I don't like bikinis.
This is Bess' first photo shoot at AbbyWinters and from what I see I can judge that she liked the experience there. Abby is a good photographer and she does know how to make her models have fun being in front of a camera.
I hope that you will enjoy this truly angelic gallery of Bess from Abby Winters.
This is a redux image set from Abby Winters, this means that this is the second time Bess has appeared on Abby Winters. I have spotted her first gallery after spotting this one, but I will let you enjoy this one before posting the other gallery. Anyway, the fact that the models do come back to Abby Winters several times is a clear message which tells you how well they treat and respect their models.
There's also another remarkable thing about Abby Winters, which is the spontaneity of their models. Their models are very natural, they are ordinary women that we meet in our lives. They didn't have tons of plastic surgeries to look that beautiful. They are simply sharing their inborn beauty. They don't have a 0% body fat and they don't spend 7 hours a day in front of a mirror.
I hope that you will enjoy this sweet and romantic Bess gallery from AbbyWinters.
AbbyWinters is not like any other nudes website that I have seen, their content ranges from the very explicit to the very timid graceful nudes, but even though they have such a wide variety of content their galleries and videos are never disrespectful to their models. You have a genuine feeling that the models are very positive about being there and are indeed very comfortable with their nudity, their smiles are never cheesy, and they are having a lot of fun shooting those galleries/videos.
I also adore the level of intimacy there, you actually get to know the model and to respect her. This is not so strange since all of the Abby Winters staff respect their models and they know most of them very well. The experience I had there as a member is indescribable.
Anyway, this is a gallery of the pretty Abby Winters model Johanna enjoying the warmth of a sunset outdoors, it includes some jumping and a lot of summer fun. I am glad the weather is starting to finally warm up.
I hope that you will enjoy this wonderful Abby Winters gallery.
There are a lot of things that I love about Abby Winters, one of those things is their impressive respect for their models, which seems to be rare these days. There are very few websites out there which can actually show you the real personality of the model, make you feel that you were there, and enable you to know all these things about her.
They also show you what the model thinks about the shoot and what's going on in her mind, this is possible because most of the models write a handwritten paragraph or two before and after each shoot telling the members about their impressions and their experience.
Yes, they may have some content that I will categorize as being very explicit, but even when one sees those explicit pictures s/he can see what that the photographer really respects the models, the models are never portrayed in a degrading manner, this is what can be called positive sexuality.
I don't even know whether my usage of the word "models" applies here, they are not mere subjects of the photographer and are far from being docile, they do talk, they do laugh and do tell some jokes. I have never felt that there was a photographer behind the camera commanding the model to do the poses she's doing; It seems to me that the photographer just lets the model do what comes naturally.
Another impressive thing there is the unmatched level of interaction between the models and the members, the models will tell you about their fantasies and even what they ate yesterday or about that speeding ticket they had the last week. The members can even talk to the models on the Abby Winters forums.
As you can probably guess by now, this can't be found on any other website. It seems that Abby was really mad at the way women are portrayed in pornography so she has started her own philosophy and her own website.
I have been a member at several other websites, but Abby Winters definitely is one of those websites which quickly became on the list of my favorite websites.
Anyway, You can easily see what I mean by saying that Abby Winters is a special website, just look at Elsa and the way with which this set was shot. I feel that Elsa is just there to have some fun and not there to be photographed in the closed and controlled environment of a studio. I don't know whether this is Elsa's apartment or not, but it's typical of Abby Winters to take pictures of the models in the settings at which the models are most comfortable, I mean why do you need to stress the model by introducing her to a new environment when you can let your members experience her own world.
According to Elsa's profile at Abby Winters, she's a very gregarious, gentle, and kind person. Her looks are nothing but an extraneous veneer of her charming personality.
It's one of those very satisfying galleries indeed, Elsa indeed is presented in the most positive of lights.
At last, I hope that you will enjoy this wonderful gallery from Abby Winters.
Abby Winters focuses on photographing everyday girls that one can meet in real life, away from the false ideas about the existence of flawless bodies. Her models don't spend half of their day in a GYM and the other half in front of a mirror. Those girls are students, waitresses, musicians, and have all sorts of different careers.
Another thing that I really like about Abby Winters is that the girls always seem to be having fun and are always laughing or smiling, and those aren't fake yellow smiles, those smiles are real and are beautiful.
Hermione is a very alluring and beautiful woman, and her name has a very good meaning, it's basically the feminine form of the name Hermes, who was the messenger of the Gods. Having such a fun-loving spirit is something that is far more important than having perfectly aligned teeth or a skinny body that shows the border of every muscle. She was a great choice by Abby Winters.
I hope that you will like this free Abby Winters gallery.
Enjoy!
