I know Britney well from her regular appearances on BodyInMind. Many of her sets look similar, they take place outdoors, in fields, and there's often an emphasis on the sky. Actually, I can claim that this gallery comes from BodyInMind and get away with it.
However, this one comes from Met-Art, which is quite strange as the set is actually beautiful and isn't that explicit, but I think that it may be the sign of a reversing trend. I truly hope so.
It doesn't really matter where her pictures appear as long as we get to enjoy her beauty. :)
Goncharov's sets are somewhat explicit in nature at the websites that like explicit content. It's a true shame as he often has some of the most beautiful models on Met-Art and his sets are often very beautiful. It's somewhat disturbing to see beauty being reduced to the anatomy of the genitalia, and that's why I often ignore his sets when choosing new galleries for display here.
This time I decided to take my chances by choosing the images that offer some balance between obsession with genitalia and beauty. I think that the results are interesting. It's even worse with his girl-girl sets.
Sofi A looks very familiar, but my memory betrays me with regards to where she has appeared before. She has multiple sets on Met-Art and that may be where I saw her before, but I am not quite sure about the details. Something in my mind tells me that she's from the Ukraine, but I didn't write it as her country because I am not quite sure that it's correct.
SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
- Lord Byron
It hasn't been a long while since I featured a Dmitry Maslof gallery, and I believe that he may soon be to Met-Art what Stefan Soell is to FEMJOY. His galleries often contain a lot of graceful nudes, something that I respect about any photographer.
However, he seems to be influenced by Met-Art's market demands as he's certainly has some erotic pictures or pictures that has a sole purpose of showing the model's genitalia, that's when I start having some problems with a photographer because that's where s/he starts to compromise his/her talent.
Anyone with a camera and a nude model can produce sexually arousing images, it's not a secret and there's nothing special about the product, even if it's a beautiful image it only serves one function and that's to arouse the viewer(and therefore to make him want to get out his credit card and to join the website, or at least that's how some marketing teams think), it's beauty becomes useless because the viewer probably is just after the sexual aspect, therefore the beauty in it doesn't really matter. If you want to produce an erotic gallery then you don't need to invest much in your equipment or waste your time picking up locations and the perfect time of the day for shooting, all you need is a sexually attractive model and a plain camera, and you will probably make the same amount of money, or even more.
So, what's the solution?, in my opinion it is to spend more time choosing the right images, being creative while creating beautiful images, and not caring about what marketing teams say. There are some websites out there that will want your tasteful non-sexual work, Body in Mind and FEMJOY just come to mind.
Anyway, here are some beautiful images that I managed to filter out of this Olga A set, I hope that you will like them.
There's something about Darina that makes her very charming. It may be her classic calm beauty or her attractive eyes. She's like that dream girl who suddenly appears in all her glory and alluring ethereal perfection, almost unreal but able to captivate for eons.
This gallery shows some picture from one of the great photo sets of Dmitry Maslof, he may not have a lot of galleries at Met-Art, but his talent is unbelievable. In this gallery he has used great lighting and simple settings to make Darina stand out, indeed that's all he needed to produce another one of his beautiful galleries.
We probably will see a lot of galleries by him at Met-Art soon and I am sure that he will be one of the top MetArt photographers in no time.
I hope that you will enjoy this wonderful gallery of Darina B by Dmitry Maslof.

Beauty is eternal, that seems to be a clear message that's present in most of the images by the remarkable photographer Jilles Villeprat. By showing different works of art of nature he truly captivates the viewer's soul, almost overwhelming it by the beauty of those works.
You can rarely find an image of a beautiful woman, an amateur, who's sharing her beauty while blending in with her surroundings, but it's true of Jilles Villeprat's works. His photographs are beautiful because his his reverence for nature and for the human form is evident in every single image.
We always do wonder about the beauty of those mountains and boulders that have been carved by nature over hundreds and thousands of years. However, we often don't take the time to inspect and wonder about the beauty of the human form, which is another work of nature. Jilles Villeprat tries to establish the connection by showing both those masterpieces next to each other.
By featuring these images, I hope that you will be able to enjoy this beautiful combination and to be inspired by it.

It's amazing how technology can influence and change the way with which art is produced. The quality of scanned images simply doesn't match the quality of digital images. Digital cameras have also enabled ordinary people to produce their own art without the need for anyone to take a look at their images.
This gallery comes from a personal collection of mine of Ronin's photographs. However, it's one of the galleries from the times when Met-Art wasn't what it is today, therefore the colors of the images are unfortunately not that outstanding and there's a film grain that can be noticed in some pictures. This made me feel the role of digital cameras in the production of modern artistic nudes, there's no need to have a darkroom in order to produce your own art.
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy these images by Ronin from Met-Art.

One of the many things that make art a superior form of self-expression is its ability to penetrate the minds, reaching deep down into the soul of the artist and revealing his/her vision of the world and the hidden beauty that s/he sees.
It's one of the reasons artists have been respected throughout the centuries; everyone knows who Wolfgang Mozart was, but few know who Adam Smith or Willem Einthoven were. Artists have an amazing ability of delving into the souls of their audience and inspiring them; we still can be inspired by Tchaikovsky's 5th and relate to it. It's this ability of communicating with the inner soul of other human beings through revealing some aspects of your soul that made artists often more well-known than scientists.
Artists often see beauty where others don't, they often then use the inspiration of this beauty to create their own beautiful masterpieces. Some of them can even make beauty in their vivid imagination and be inspired by it.
It's now quite clear why this set was called "Inner Soul" by Jilles Villeprat, his works are often very artistic: combining nature's art manifested in rocks and stream with the anthropoid beauty. He also adds some symbols in every picture which makes his works undoubtedly artistic.
I hope that you will enjoy this gallery of masterpieces by Jilles Villeprat.
There are certain qualities that a set must have in order to be an inspiring one. Everyone prefers certain things about a gallery or a photo shoot, but for me the main two things that I really appreciate about a gallery is outdoor locations and the models' beautiful smiles.
As a man who has spent his short life in cities it's quite understandable why I am so attracted to nature. In the cities and on T.V we often use the word nature to refer to purity and the things that aren't that manipulated by man. The public park isn't nature, it's the deserted forest or the empty field that can be considered nature.
A gallery that's shot outdoors doesn't only represent the purity of nature, it also represents the purity of the simple yet complex beautiful nature of the female beauty. Without any pollution brought about by the work of man.
It's easy to see how the location is greatly adding to the beauty of this gallery. Of course Olga A is the most beautiful thing about this gallery, but the lighting and the location are among the things that can make you tell the difference between a good gallery and a bad one.
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy this gallery of Olga A in Presenting Olga by Dmitry Maslof.
Richard Murrian's style is marked with his ability to mix erotica with art. His works are often beautiful and inspiring. With his remarkable talent, and his beautiful models he has earned his reputation of being one of the best photographers online.
It's hard for a lot of photographers to be able to have the ability to mix elements of erotica and art together; I have seen a lot of strange works by various photographers who try to achieve this result but failed. Richard Murrian has become one of the most popular photographers online because he has a good ability of using the light to show the beauty of his models and because he has worked with various beautiful models. I do regret seeing his talent being used to produce more erotica these days than ever before, but it may be that he prefers this genre of photography or is unable to come up with a lot of innovative artistic galleries without including the sexual elements that are offered by erotica, it's really hard to tell.
His career started when he married his wife Nancy Murrian who soon became his first model, he honed his skills and then started producing galleries that were somewhat more artistic. After he started gaining popularity he started M-U-S-E which was only featuring his works and the works of his wife until recently. The models that he has worked with include Monika C, Nella, and Yanna(her modelling career started in his studio). His works have been featured at various websites including Met-Art, BodyInMind, and of course M-U-S-E.
In this set his style can be easily seen, he often uses shades of black and a soft background, this helps to shift the focus on the models beauty. The models always look good in his exquisite settings.
This lengthy praise of Richard Murrian's talent didn't make me forget the role of Monika C, the model contributes a great deal into the creation of a gallery. It's her willingness to share her beauty and her values that are reflected in the gallery that makes it beautiful.
In this gallery Monika looks tired, but this hasn't affected the quality of the gallery. She is looking as charming as ever. The look in her eyes was rather mysterious, it showed a great deal of self-confidence and a sense of dignified beauty, and as Dwayne Bell of BodyInMind has said in one of his articles, self-confidence is one of the critical inner beauty values that a woman exhibits. It shows her respect for her beauty and demands a similar respect from the viewer, those simple inner beauty values are the things that differentiate between a highly inspiring gallery and a base erotic one. Those values are often reflected on a woman's face and her posture; that's why I always include as many face-shots as possible. Those shots offer us a glimpse of a woman's soul and are essential in completing the wonderful experience that one gets from viewing every graceful picture.
I hope that you will enjoy this beautiful gallery of Monika C from Met-Art.
