I really like it when photographers occasionally return to simplicity. I can safely claim that Stefan Soell's genius lies in the fact that he can make his simple images so vividly rich and inspiring that they can become breathtaking. I also like the fact that his German models are often extraordinary girls that we're likely to meet, but whose beauty truly shine when it's viewed through the eyes of a photographer with extraordinary abilities such as Stefan.
I don't quite know what caught my attention about this gallery. Was it that Mitzie has a charming serene sort of beauty? Maybe it's the simplicity of a well-done studio set? Maybe it's my fascination and respect for German models and beauty. I can't quite pinpoint a reason, but I am quite sure that you will like this set as well. A set of a beautiful German girl and an extraordinary German photographer.
Nudes call for unity. They make us realize that we're not that different no matter where we come from. We have the same anatomy; a wonderful young woman's smile will look alluring whether she comes from Germany, Australia, or a village full of wooden churches in the Ukraine. We have the same feelings; a woman who speaks Zulu or Romanian still has dreams and aspirations that are probably very similar to those shared by another woman speaking Hindu halfway around the world. They don't show conflict over land, destructive beliefs, or resources, that's what news bulletins do and what politicians exploit. That's not what a simple pure image of beauty shows.
We are more free than ever before. We can see through any central lies by simply heading to a website or chatting with a person who's thousands of miles away. It's closed doors that create hatred and fear. That's why the citizens of the soviet union and the DDR were kept behind walls of bureaucracy and had borders erected all around them. It was the government's way to brainwash its citizens, to tell them that the outside world is nothing by a leper colony. Some people still can't really believe that the world out there is full of beauty. Old lies don't die easily.
That's why any attempt to control the Internet in any name should never be tolerated. We should not allow anyone to decide what's good for us.
That was one of the goals of the European Union, to create a united Europe in which you can go and see the 'others', to find out that they're not different and therefore promote peace. I can say that it has worked to an extent, but as always, finance and greed get in the way.
Those seeking power always highlight our differences or make them up if it serves their means.
I think that a day will come in which we will realize that we're not that different. We eat the same food, we need the same water, we usually need shelter and we usually build it in a similar way. We have the same needs, we have the same anatomy, we can fall in love with each other and get married no matter where we are. Unions will probably emerge somewhere in the following century, and artificial borders will once again be removed.
Here's the gallery I referred to in my Ariel Beautiful Harpist post when saying that Stefan Soell is still capable of producing some beautiful nudes despite the fact that he has been producing some more explicit pictures recently.
This gallery has the classical Soell style with one of the most beautiful models on the Internet, the German Susann. With the classical Soell elements, flowers, sunshine, nature, and beauty.
Anyone who has been a fan of Corinna probably remembers the sensational Pier photo shoot - Choose FEMJOY from the left menu and go to the last page (page 12). It arguably is one of the most popular shots on FEMJOY and it has been one of the hallmarks of FEMJOY's main page for a long time. They tried to do it again, and they set Stefan Soell to the task of recreating more images that look similar, he did so, but was he successful? I don't really think so.
While the images clearly resemble those of the first pier set, something is definitely missing. Corinna is as sweet and as charming as she has always been, but something is missing. I think that it's Stefan Soell's fault, he just no longer is the same. The set feels like it has been forcibly churned out of a machine, not the slow and deliberate creative work of an artist. Sure, the new set looks beautiful, and Corinna still looks charming, but I don't find the high regard that he had for female beauty permeating his pictures, not anymore.
What's the point of creating an exact photo shoot? It just the same old commercialism that kills the spirit of an artist - the masses loved it, they're sure to love it again.
Anyway, the pictures still make for a wonderful reminder of the great masterpieces that once adorned the pages of FEMJOY, and that hopefully will adorn it again sometime in the future.
Corinna is one of the few influential models who have created a new beauty standard in the world of FEMJOY and almost every other web site out there. With her gentle German beauty and her amazing smile she just was meant to be the graceful woman who has helped many people through hard days through her beauty.
I still remember when I first saw her breathtaking pictures almost three years ago, and how I instantly was inspired by all the ideals that she represents. She is a true gem in the world of beauty.
I just couldn't miss this gallery for anything. It is indeed a very special gallery. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.
Germany is full of beautiful locations, both in the north and in the south. Bodensee, which is located near the Alps, is one of them. It serves here as the perfect location for Susann's beauty to shine.
Susann's natural serene beauty radiates through the images and complements the beauty of the tranquil environment surrounding her. The images contain a simple message, we can live with nature in harmony.
I hope that you will enjoy this small collection of authentic German nudes.
Germany is a country that has a wonderful culture. The reality is often far from being similar to the stereotypes. The German language is an amazingly beautiful language - even when it's time to court someone - and German women are often very intelligent and very charming.
Yes, people from different countries always say that Germans have an obsession about cleanliness and order. However, many Germans will easily tell you that there are neighborhoods in Germany which are far from being spotless and that Austria looks more clean than Germany at times. There also are young people who are bored, have untidy closets, dirty apartments, and practically speak a new language - it's not just globalization. Germany just has its own culture and subcultures, just like any other country. It's true that "Ordnung muss sein" is a personal motto and even a law for some people, but I am sure that it's similar in a lot of other places.
There are many great things that are made in Germany, and those include those wonderful nudes by many photographers including Stefan Soell. Also, those brave young German models - Corinna, Anna-Leah, and Susann are wonderful examples - are often very vibrant and beautiful in their own way. It's no wonder that German women were mentioned in the German national anthem.
Mitzie is just as beautiful. It's really hard to describe beauty, it always transcends words. It's also hard to describe German beauty, it's always very special.
It has been a long time since I featured anything from MC-Nudes, and the reason is simple, their images are too explicit for me. I find some sort of disrespect for the female ideal when there's such a large-scale production of nudes, which normally leads to low standards when it comes to offering the world true beauty.
However, Susann is the exception as usual. It is somewhat strange that MC-Nudes is one of the few websites where she appeared, but a quick inspection proves that her standards are as wonderful as ever. Yes, the sets there aren't as good as those produced by Stefan Soell for FEMJOY, but she is amazingly beautiful, and that makes most of her sets amazing.
I will always be glad to make an exception for beauty, wherever it may be found.
I feel that Susann adds a certain grace to the pages of Graceful Nudes whenever I add a new gallery of hers. It is rarely possible to describe a model just by looking her images, but I imagine her as being amazingly intelligent and graceful.
She represents the power and the beauty of humanity. The beauty that we all posess but that she manages to develop and take it further into a land of elegance and sufficiency. Sufficiency that doesn't require self-mutilation.
She's beautiful, and she's generous enough to share it with us. I have a lot of respect for her. I wish we had more models who share her grace.
I think that our most important quest in life consists of fighting for our individuality and for our happiness regardless of what life throws at us. It takes an amazing amount of courage to overcome the fear of being honest about who you are, and this courage is a part of what defines your own beauty.
A model who decides to pose nude fights a lot of preconceptions and an amazing amount of fear regarding her own identity, but the models who emerge victorious from that battle are the models who are most beautiful. They decide that they know who they are and are confident that their beauty is good enough to be shared with the rest of the world. They certainly deserve our respect in having won their own quest. A quest where difference means being oneself, not buying some products in order to fill some mysterious void.
It takes courage to be beautiful.
