Mariah has such a wonderful charm. After all those years after first seeing her for the first time, she still manages to cheer me up and to put a smile on my face whenever I see her. She has an infective love for life and that makes her have a wonderful appeal.
She never appeared in any set in which her beauty was not fully captured and presented. She's definitely one of the models with whom it's hard to mess up your work as a photographer.
Everything about her is perfect: her spirit, her smile, her grace, her self-respect, and her beauty. She's a true reincarnation of a goddess.
I wonder what has become of her and whether she's still posing. I just know that she must be happy leading the life that she's dreaming of: it's hard not to when you have such a charming personality, intelligence, and self-respect.


Living in a world of hate, a world of fear, is a beautiful heroine. Born with all the beauty in the world she challenges all that prevents her from being free. Courageous, moral, powerful, and angelic. Aided by the God of morality she chases all that's fake.
She is similar in many senses to all the models you find here: Beth, Maria, and Marina. Indeed, ever one of them is her. The story is written in the gallery page, I hope that you will enjoy it.


Fragile rose on a field
Merrily swaying with the breeze
Sharing her beauty with the world
Not caring about anything
A harsh wind suddenly blows
Determined to deprive the world of that beauty
Thinking that innocence isn't there to stay
Not caring about the rose's pleas
The rose clings dearly to the ground
Trying to defend her beauty
No one care to help her
Of this cruel world she is suddenly aware
And slowly realizes the no one has ever been there
And surrenders to this horrendous grim fate
The helpless ocean rages in the distance
But he knows that he can't help
He knows that he can't help
It's over and another innocence has been raped.
Save beauty!


"Some female bodies are so beautiful that we think they should be photographed and documented and meticulously archived for future generations. We think Maria's got one. After all, if they'll do it for paintings, books, and other works of art, why not beautiful women? Or for that matter, why not a full fledged beauty museum with a section devoted to each of the classic female beauties we have worshiped over the millenia and into today? While we're waiting for such places to be built, enjoy this latest gallery of Maria in the BodyInMind beauty 'museum', here." - BodyInMind
The Russian photographer Dmitry Kurapov uses the shadows technique better than the photographer from the last MPL-Studios set. The only negative thing about this gallery may be Maria's blond hair which is hiding her face, something which may be interpreted as a sign of shame. There's no need to be ashamed.
Maria (aka Maria Kenig, Maria Koenig, Mariah, Mariah) is a model who has been featured on many websites including Met-Art, Domai, BodyInMind, FEMJOY, First-Nude just to name a few. She is also a photographer whose works has been featured at Met-Art. I may add some of her works to Graceful Nudes if they prove to be of a tasteful and artistic nature.
I have featured another BodyInMind set called "Ribbon", you can easily access that set by clicking on the BodyInMind link under the "Sort By" menu.
Enjoy!


Very rarely does a model come along who loves posing in front of the camera as much as we like to see her there. Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, Anna Nicole Smith. All broke through the chilling snows of censorship and denunciation. Not many others. Maria is one of those rare beauties. Her playfulness and exuberance seems to know no bounds. Not even a freezing cold Russian winter can contain this lady's love of life, and love of being a beautiful woman. Perhaps that's why we love her so much. She is so obviously enjoying herself that for a moment we can forget all the negative things people say about nude women and the men who admire them, and we can enjoy looking at her in a totally pure and happy way. We are not only witnessing beauty in Maria and those others, we are witnessing beauty freed, sanctioned, and exalted, even if they're only playing in the snow.
