Another gallery of tasteful nudes from the beautiful and liberated woman from the Czech Republic that is Deni. She's truly breathtaking and Nina Larochelle deserves a lot of praise for bringing out the best of Deni. She looks more alluring at Evas Garden and VIP-Nudes than she does at Domai; which is surprising.
I think that she's a very beautiful lady, and I hope that her beauty will brighten up your day like it did with mine.
Another very colorful gallery from Evas Garden. This time featuring Nell, an amazing model from the Czech Republic.
There is a wonderful look of pride in her eyes. It makes her look very real, and makes her nudity irrelevant. She's definitely not naked. She is apparently in total control of her body and her environment; A winning combination in the creation of tasteful nudes.
One of the very few not that explicit galleries from Watch4Beauty. I think that Ldove's beauty was hard to miss. It's a very simple gallery, with diffuse lighting and a beautiful light background for contrast.
This is a casting set, but hopefully we'll get to see more of her at Watch4Beauty.
A new classy gallery from Evas Garden, another website that hasn't been featured here for quite a while.
Denisa is a remarkable Czech model with a somewhat low profile that has appeared on a lot of online website, and it's easy to see why she's so successful with her amazing grace and hard-to-miss beauty.
I just hope that you like it.
Ariel is both a courageous young model and a very beautiful one indeed. I bet that she's recognized almost instantly wherever she walks. She's one of the most successful models online. Her pictures are on almost every nudes website and she even has her own website.
I think that the most intelligent move that she recently made was to choose to shoot with Stefan Soell. The one man who is capable of making a beautiful woman look more beautiful and more ethereal. The downside about this relationship is that Stefan now shoots more explicit pictures - not shown here. The upside is that I can finally be proud of featuring Ariel on my website. I think that's better than any downside that I can name. And Stefan still has got his talent, as I will demonstrate shortly with another update from FEMJOY.
I just hope to see more beautiful pictures of Ariel and maybe even Marketa by Stefan Soell. Maybe we can bring beauty back to the world of artistic nudes.
It's pretty obvious that I don't quite like Watch4Beauty. There are all those silly "jokes of the day", pictures that literally destroy a model's beauty, a lot of silly outdoor shots where the lighting is basic and the models uninspired, lack of information about the photographers, and all those unnecessary gynecology-style close-ups of the model's genitalia.
All that being said, why in the world am I adding a new Watch4beauty gallery? There are two main reasons. The first is the symbolism of a beautiful female boldly holding a weapon, and the second being the 1 day free access promotion, which later turned out to involve the usual facebook worshiping.
The symbolism is that beauty is humanity's true weapon. In whatever form, it inspires us to work and to be ethical. It also helps us get rid of hypocrisy and ignorance and realize that we are capable of pushing the boundaries and realizing our dreams. It's no coincidence that most ideologies and governments that demand total obedience and work hard to crush individuality have always fought beauty. Sometimes porn is tolerated but beauty isn't, that's because porn is seen as a major distraction, but beauty is dangerous, it makes the worker ants think, and maybe decide to take down the ultimate free rider, the queen ant.
As for their facebook offer, you need to follow them on facebook, and they will give 10 followers 24-hour access every day. To see the details just go to Watch4Beauty, click on "FREE", scroll down till you see the free memberships banner, click on it, and read the instructions. My recommendation is to not create a facebook account for this, the privacy policy is a joke, and the chances of winning aren't that big. They only want more visits to their facebook profile.
Ariel is a very well-known model in the world of nudes. She has her own website and has appeared on almost every website that you can think of. However, she often collaborates with photographers who aren't that interested in the production of tasteful nudes. This time it's different.
It did come as a surprise when I read Stefan Soell's name on this gallery. Even more surprising was the fact that he created a lot of explicit images in this particular photo shoot. It's no secret that Stefan has recently been pressured to create more explicit nudes and he often complied by producing a couple of explicit pictures here and there, but this gallery was full of them. However, he still managed to create some beautiful and tasteful nudes that you can see here.
I certainly hope that Stefan will keep on producing tasteful nudes. I don't really understand why he yield to such pressure. He's the only FEMJOY photographer whose name appears on every image that he creates and his pictures has helped make FEMJOY what it is today. All I can do is hope that he won't abandon capturing beauty for anatomy-textbooks style pictures.
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy this FEMJOY gallery of Ariel by Stefan Soell.
Raging thunder, black skies, dead sun, an endless black sea of ashes on the horizon, and a complete destruction. There's no hope, no living thing. Everything has died as a result of human greed.
As it seems that this is the end, beauty resurrects itself. It's a new dawn, and the time for life to be reborn in the hostile world.
Beauty will never die.
Another Richard Murrian series on Graceful Nudes and a dissatisfied David. I rarely am satisfied when adding M-U-S-E galleries, and I have a pretty good idea why.
Let's start with the paragraph on this gallery page(I didn't write it, they did):
"INDOCHINE: Introducing Valaria, our newest exclusive eighteen year old Muse. Half-Vietnamese, half-Czech, her young exotic beauty resonates in this gorgeous new series.
Photographed nude for the first time." - M-U-S-E
I have many objections, first the eighteen year old part makes it sound like teen porn or a way of satisfying a pornographic fantasy of some viewers. What's so special about being eighteen? I am eighteen and it's one of the last things I say about myself while introducing myself. It sounds to me like some line used to promote this gallery.
After that awkward paragraph they then mention that it's her first nude photographs ever. O.K. we all may mention that it's the model's first time if she looks nervous as a way to excuse any nervousness that may appear in the gallery, but its position here is pointless as she apparently is pretty comfortable with her nudity. Another promotional line.
After that introductory paragraph the first thing that you're likely to notice if you have seen the previous M-U-S-E galleries featured here is that this gallery is very similar to them(Michaela and Jana come to mind). This "templating" is a sign of the loss of one's creativity, a photographer without creativity is making porn, not erotica or tasteful nudes. The subject becomes the female body, and add all that artificial erotica(not that obvious in this gallery) and you've got a new gallery to make some money. This shouldn't be the way artists think; some very successful artists died in debt. Of course I am not saying that Richard Murrian should start roaming the streets with a camera, some posters, and an empty cup. What I am saying is that personal satisfaction and creative work is the pride of a true artist, and from where I stand this is not where M-U-S-E is heading. Mr. Murrian has a great skill, he just needs to listen to his inner mind for a while and to capture the beauty of his models instead of trying to capture something that's not there(sexuality represented as erotica).
The models are beautiful and brave, this is something that every photographer should respect. Don't make her another face in the crowd, show her for what she really is, make her beauty shine and make her stand out, believe me, this is much better than listening to any marketing teams and probably will make money if you wait for a while or market it to the right people. Aiming for the lowest common denominator means that you will show what nudity was never meant to offer.
I am not a fan of erotica, but if you want to do it right, then do it when the model is feeling sexy. You can't tell a beautiful model to put her finger on her lips and to spread her legs, take a picture of her and call it art. That's not art, that's abject pornography.
Anyway, this gallery is to honor Valaria and her beauty. Enjoy!
There are a lot of things that I hate about Richard Murrian's website, the most apparent of them being the very erotic display of most of his new sets, which only serves to fulfill the demands of his visitors without caring about the models or the fact that the emotions displayed in those sets are fake ones. I don't seem to understand why a female putting a finger in her mouth and acting like she's a model in a heavily sexual perfume commercial is found attractive by some visitors, I have rarely seen a woman acting in that way in real life and I certainly don't like that kind of emotions.
My current definition of art is that it's a display of the familiar in a beautiful not-so-familiar way; id est showing the beauty of the nude human body that our brain is used to discarding in real life. Apparently, erotica isn't a familiar subject in real life, and that makes it a tasteless form of art, for it doesn't express a point of view or conform to my current definition. That's enough to make me lose some of my respect for an artist, as succumbing to monetary pressure is a weakness.
However, as with many other artists he manages to produce a good set once in a while, and this collection of images seems to represent one of them. It has those obnoxious erotic elements in a couple of pictures, but it's not a bad set once you get past that.
It's an aesthetically satisfactory set to an extent, but it definitely doesn't compete with the artistic images that are found elsewhere. I won't buy a membership there anytime soon, and I don't recommend buying one unless you love fake erotica or have enough patience to hunt for treasures(which are there once you look close enough, but aren't that common).
I just hope that you'll be able to find some beauty in this set.
