Women have been punished for their beauty many times throughout human history. There have been hundreds of stereotypes used to target their depravity if they dared to take control of their bodies or their beauty. Prostitution was a word used to denote things that are now considered normal such as cohabitation. Docility and humility were the standards of beauty. A woman who accepted the chains was considered the most beautiful of all.
I simply look at Klaudia and wonder about the progress that has been made. Nudes are still considered immoral and shameful, regardless of whether they depict a noble ideal or the debasement and degradation of bravery. The models still face many real life troubles for what they do. If the model is not a famous model, if she's just an extraordinary girl from the crowds, then all the comments will be related to the anatomy of her body. I don't know if this is our modern-day punishment for a woman who takes the chance to dream and to aspire or if it's just basic media-driven conditioning.
It is a true tragedy. For neither the brave woman nor the thinking viewer have the respect that they deserve. Those amazing nudes just remain confined to a niche, to connoisseurs, just like most works of culture. To be replaced by the basic works that target sexuality - softcore - or some other works that provide no cerebral stimulation whatsoever.
Tasteful nudes are almost like a mystic dance, the poses represent small pieces of the greater puzzle of life. They serve as a reminder and as a source of inspiration. They're distinctly human, and they have a uniting force. They also serve as a blank canvas, to be filled with one's imagination by the most honorable of human qualities. Then they start serving as a model.
The models must be beautiful in real life, for beauty is very distinct from physical attractiveness. I am quite sure that the picture that our minds paint are very similar to what can be found in real life.
Beauty certainly deserves more respect, and more understanding. I am sure that true beauty will be produced, no matter the artificial barriers. And it will always find an audience, even if that audience is only compromised of a few hundreds of people.
Klaudia has appeared at many websites and even magazines: Hegre-Art, Penthouse Germany (August 2008, she is on the cover), VIP-Nudes, and probably a lot of other places of which I am unaware.
BodyinMind is one of the few websites that I have come to relish. There is a clear difference in their approach to nudes, which is far from being characterized by misogyny, carelessness, or blind commodification. The pictures are full of respect for female beauty. I think that there's nothing worse than horribly profaning a woman's beauty through carelessness or mindless greed, which pretty much summarizes the approach of most of the websites.
I like it when beauty is represented for the wonderful representation of morals that it is, which is the unique approach of BodyinMind and Super Beauty, an approach that is indeed very rare and hard to grasp by many.
That's one of the reasons why I like BodyinMind, and why I like their pictures of Klaudia.
This is the second gallery from Olivia that I am including on Graceful Nudes and I have to admit that I am quite impressed with the results of the collaboration between Olivia and Valery Anzilov. Olivia is clearly very comfortable with her body and is actually having fun being there, while Valery depicts Olivia in a graceful way without putting any emphasis on her body, but rather trying to capture the whole moment and this is supposed to be the spirit of all graceful nudes.
Valery Anzilov has a remarkable photographing skill. You can actually feel that you were there which is a good thing. You just blend in with the environment of the image, and the best thing is that those images are of a non-sexual nature.
I hope that you will enjoy this FEMJOY gallery of Olivia by Valery Anzilov.
Sometimes being a nude model means being very brave, I personally can't imagine being relaxed and smiling at such a great height and would rather go back on the ground, but, it seems that the height doesn't bother Olivia much as she's able to relax, smile, and enjoy being free.
The sun light adds a lot of warmth to this gallery, however, there's a source of artificial light behind the camera(or a reflector) which is a nude photography technique that I don't like. However, this doesn't affect the overall quality of the gallery.
I hope that you will like this gallery from FEMJOY.
Enjoy!
