Sometimes one becomes adrift in the sea of life. Led by nothing and surrounded by darkness, it is then that one forgets how it was like being in the light. Depression is a reality, stalking you in the shadows and waiting until you reach the zenith of happiness to take over your life and to rob you of joy.
However, even in the darkest abyss of depression, there always is a light of hope. It's this light that we should look forward to, with a naked soul. So that we can be in control of the ship once again, and to be able to look at our compass through the fog.
In my opinion, beauty is one of the most important elements in the spectrum of that light.
That's what I thought when I saw this gallery. We can always regain control, but you need to find the catalysts that will make it quicker for us to reach our destination before too much damage is done.
Gardens serve as a connection to mother nature, it's that refuge in our busy cities that makes us feel at peace once again after a day full of struggle. However, there are some beautiful plants in every garden that everybody loves: the flowering plants.
Those add a sense of delight to every garden. They just stand there sharing their beauty with the world, waiting for nothing in return. This is the perfect beauty, there's a price for showing their beauty, but they do it nonetheless. That's why flowers hold a special place in the heart of every human being.
It's that beauty that true gentlemen value the most. The ultimate selfless beauty.
Enjoy!
We often forget that the intentions of the person behind the camera often influence his/her pictures. A picture is supposed to represent the photographer's view of a certain scene. Different people see different things in the same place, the processing done by the brain is influenced by past experiences. This means that a picture is much more than a display of a certain location and certain elements; it offers a glimpse into the photographer's mind.
This is why through the works of Viktoria Sun I have come to respect her. Apart from occasional lapses of quality her pictures are very simple and beautiful, and are never sexual, even when she takes a close-up. Her intention clearly is to capture the beauty that she sees and not the shallow sexuality that others want to see.
This is the case with this set, it comes from Amour Angels, a website mainly with "teen" sets, but they sometimes feature a good set or two. Her works stand out there, with all of the beauty they offer and their simple non-sexual nudes.
There's one thing of sure, a lot of her works will stay in my memory for a long time, and won't cease to inspire and guide me.
I hope that you will like this gallery.
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.
What does the word paradise mean?, our version of paradise may be different but it probably has some common elements, beach, sunset, green plantations, tranquility, and beauty, but what if you can adorn this paradise even more by the beauty of the pure human form. This is what this gallery is about.
Silhouettes are a very common theme in nude photography, and this gallery clearly follows this theme. It certainly isn't a one of a kind gallery, but it's still a beautiful gallery.
I really liked the pictures in which Nata is in the air with the sun directly behind her. It adds a lot of radiance and gives Nata a centralized role in the images, with the sun rays carving a shadow of her perfect beauty. This puts a lot of emphasis on her beauty and makes her the center of attention.
A beautiful sky, a sunset, a tranquil sea, a lot of warmth, and most of all a beautiful model. I believe that this is what most of us can call paradise.
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.
Anya is adorable, she always adds a certain touch to each of her galleries that makes you fall in love with any image of her. It's not surprising that she's one of the most popular girls; you simply can't resist that enchanting smile of hers.
Models often eat healthy food, it's no wonder that in this gallery Anya wanted to invite everyone to more healthy eating habits, therefore, the next time you want to have a snack eat an apple instead of that chocolate cake, it's good for you. :)
I hope that you will enjoy this beautiful gallery of Anya in eat fruit from MPL-Studios.
Alisia's heavenly beauty is indeed a gift of nature. Beauty can be considered one of the gifts of mankind, as if it is not for beauty there would be no food for imagination and life would be gloomy and not worth living.
I can only be grateful to have had the chance to set my eyes on Alisia's wonderful and amazing beauty. It's not just that Alisia's quite handsome that's making me like this gallery, it's the location and the way with which her beauty was masterfully captured by Dmitry Maslof, this gallery is a proof that one beautiful images are priceless. For not only do they inspire, they do alleviate a lot of pains and resurrect the good meanings in one's soul.
I hope that you will enjoy this beautiful gallery of Alisia B from Met-Art by Dmitry Maslof.
This gallery contains plenty of jumping shots, those shots are always a favorite of mine, and I believe that some of you may share the same passion for those wonderful images and the meanings they can convey.
There's nothing better than a fair maiden who's jumping merrily in simple outdoor settings. It's not just the sense of freedom that those images bring forth that make them special, they are mainly a reminder of the existence of a carefree pure life similar to that that we all have lead in our early years. Jumping is a sign of happiness, and if you notice Alisa had a sullen expression on her face in the ordinary images. That expression faded away instantly when she started jumping and changed into laughter, it's when she starts to jump that we have the privilege of seeing her radiant smile.
Simple settings, simple nudity, and a simple jolly.
I truly hope that you will enjoy this gallery of Alisa B from Met-Art by Skokov.
Life is full of beauty. Beauty is everywhere around us, it's used by the marketers to influence our choices, it's used by the media to increase the audience, and it's used by artists to captivate us. However, as civilization was developing beauty values did change, especially in our modern industrial societies.
Beauty shifted from what's natural into what's synthetic. Supermodels who are supposed to be beauty icons are either very underweight or deprived of food. The average weight of 150 pounds became a nightmare, now the desired weight was 90 pounds or even less. Which isn't always a healthy sign.
With all of that chaos about what beauty is supposed to be like we did start to forget about the true beauty of simplicity without all of the unnecessary extra details. It's the beauty of a woman the way she is, and not the way she is supposed to be in a non-existent world.
That's one of the reasons I appreciate the galleries of women in nature, it's how we were like before civilization. Freely roaming the meadows and fields without any anxieties, dears, or restraints. I am not saying that we should revert back to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle; I am just saying that these simple settings in a gallery remind us of the lifestyle of the past and the beauty of the wilderness.
These are some of the reasons I feel glad adding beautiful outdoor galleries such as this one of Natasha from Amour Angels to Graceful Nudes. They are simply inspiring and beautiful, showing the true grace of nature.
I hope that you will enjoy this gallery of Natasha from Amour Angels.
