Syndi is a perfect example of a girl who "explores" her sexuality on camera. In Boa you see her go from playful teen to glamour girl, to vixen, and back again. She flirts with one, then jumps to another with chameleon like ease. That's Syndi's signature style...and what a sexy style it is! - MPL Studios
I like the simple style of this gallery, the simplicity of the settings, the location, the poses and everything. However, the simplicity is ruined by this fur coat. Syndi is one of the most beautiful MPL models and one of the most popular ones.
You may be wondering about the reason I really come everyday to Graceful Nudes and dedicate some of the really needed study hours to it. I really like Graceful Nudes, I really like what I am doing here, I feel that my website is different and that it represents my taste which, in turn, reflects some aspects of my personality.
Some people start their own websites only seeking monetary gains, I really hate this approach to nudity because it often results in bad websites, bad products, and a bad image of all the websites which are trying to promote simple and tasteful nudes.
I personally believe that my approach to nudity is never one of perversion, I never think about any of the models on this website in a sexual way. I find that the most interesting thing about any model is her face, faces can carry a lot of meanings, that's why face portraits are that powerful.
Nudity is never about peeping toms and innocent next door girls at which the binoculars are pointed(I never was a peeping tom, my early adulthood was very strange), nudity isn't about voyeurism or taking the pictures of people without their consent at nude beaches. It's not about taking pictures of your naked neighbors wife or even about the fulfillment of certain fantasies of yours by relating them to certain galleries. I believe that nudity is good because it's a pure state of being, you feel completely free without your clothes, you are yourself, you are doing everything because you want to. You are carefree for once. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that nudity is about watching perfect bodies at those nudists' resorts, it's about the feeling of it, the inspiration of it, and the courage of emerging out into this form.
The nudity that I am trying to promote here isn't nudity of which you should be ashamed, I want the models featured here to lead wonderful lives without too many people criticizing them simple because they used their right of being free for a while. I really feel bad when I hear that a certain woman was abused because she posed nude for a magazine(hey!, if you're a male and decided to do some nude modeling no one will really care, then why should they care when a woman does the same?, it's either an insult to men who are portrayed as pure sexual animals who can't control themselves, or an insult to women who are portrayed as pure "objects"(I am really sorry for using the term objects in reference to women, but this is exactly how they are portrayed) that seduce men and severely decrease their productivity(Cherchez la femme? "seek the woman"), which simply reveals how our "modern societies" still have "something" against women). I think it's time for us all to start questioning our opinions of nudity, find why some of us still believe that it's evil and correct that.
I was on a website(lyrics) a couple of days ago and I saw what seemed to be an ad for a "web cam service", the model apparently was in an extremely bad mood and seeing her like that just made me wonder what made her reach this state?, what makes her so mad?, why do I feel that she's doing this just to satisfy a need of the hypocritical society which just wants to exploit her and her body in exchange for some colored papers. Really, I mean imagine a college girl who just couldn't collect enough money to pay for the tuition, and her only choice is either to take a loan(and be haunted for the rest of her life by the ghost of debt) or simple to pose nude for a pornographic website to actually be able to continue studying, I believe that we are the ones who forced her to become a pornographic actress, and then we condemn her for going for the obvious choice. We threw it at her, we implicitly told her that all we want from her is her naked body and watching her having sexual intercourse with a complete stranger. Our sexuality is a really complex aspect of us, and I personally believe that this "simple encounter" may scar the soul of this girl for her entire life. She will become haunted with the thought that some guy of her colleagues may have seen her. He may even take it as a permission to scar her soul even more by raping her. Even if this doesn't happen, she simply will feel strange whenever everyone who's laughing looks at her "hmm, why is he looking at me like this?, did he see my online images?", she may be harassed and her self-confidence will gradually fade away, you may see her writing somewhere on the Internet "I want to commit suicide, my life simply sucks, I have porn on the Internet, all the guys are winking when they're looking at me(she may be imagining this, every subtle movement will have a profound meaning for her), I am not getting good grades(she's unable to concentrate as she's probably fallen into a deep state of depression)".
This may also apply to the simple nudes movement, however, it's our responsibility, me and you(the visitor) to represent the models gracefully, to keep in mind that they are human beings whose feelings can be hurt(by the statements of those demagogues), and that they need a special type of attention. If you meet any model someday in a supermarket..etc before you even say Hi tell her how much you respect her courage, how you feel honored that you've actually met such a beautiful lady and try to stay away from commenting on her bodily features as it can be really hurting(would you like bumping into someone who will tell you that you should remove that birthmark from your abdomen, that you have some extra hair on your right leg...etc), I personally believe that those comments may make her feel that her body isn't hers anymore, that she has no privacy and that nobody respects her true soul, they all respect the veneer, nothing more.
Nudity isn't about giggles, it's about inspiration and we all should respect the models and never objectify them, always defend the rights of other human beings, and to make sure that everyone enjoys the same privileges.
Respect them please.
Anyway, I really hope that you will enjoy this gallery.
Body in Mind has always been about the most beautiful models. We've been doing it successfully for almost 10 years now. We know a beautiful woman when we see one, such as Jewel here. Her name is actually Juliya, but we've all been calling her Jewel around here lately so now the name has stuck. And it's appropriate. It's taken us almost a year to find this girl and get some great photos of her. We wish we'd found her sooner because we hate to see such incredible beauty go to waste. It's like a diamond underground. No way to sparkle down there. But we're thrilled to be able to let Jewel sparkle for you now, in the dappled morning sun, in her first ever series for Body in Mind. - Body In Mind
There's nothing more soothing than adding a tasteful gallery to Graceful Nudes before going to sleep. It's simply inspiring and eliminates a lot of stress indeed. Especially when the model is as beautiful as Jewel and the gallery is that simple, I have never really heard of Alex Fedorenko, but there's a beginning for everything, right?!
Enjoy!
I fell in love with Corinna beauty the moment I saw her, I really find her graceful and charming in a lot of different ways. Her subtle movements make this gallery even more charming an attractive.
I also love Stefan Soell's works, so it may be natural for me to fall in love with the Corinna galleries he makes, I will be adding all the graceful galleries of Corinna here soon.
Also make sure that you didn't miss her Perfect Waves video, which can be found easily if you click on the FEMJOY link under the sort by menu.
Enjoy!
Zuzana Z Zuzie's Zunzet, I think it's a nice misspelling game which makes the phrase rhyme and sound attractive. Zuzanna is a very beautiful lady indeed and this gallery is generally very attractive.
However, I can't really see how this gallery is related to the sunset, it seems to be another gallery which follows the "model posing at the window" scheme, maybe it was time for sunset at the time but the exposure ruined it. The gallery is still a very beautiful one and I can tell that you will enjoy it.
Enjoy!
I adore the galleries of naked girls shot in nature. The simplicity with which their beauty is presented is indeed "simply powerful", watching them enjoy the embrace of nature, the happiness in their eyes, and their lively souls is simple priceless.
The photography of Jaromir Plesko is also very powerful, he makes sure that the models look in their best states and always takes the photographs at very beautiful and exotic locations.
I hope that you will enjoy this gallery from pretty nudes.
The serenity before the storm, this is exactly my first impression of this gallery. Masha looks like a mythical Heroine in the cover image. I can feel that a Norse myth is about to be born.
I was listening to the song An Arrow From The Sun by Therion, the gentle melodies almost made me feel a gentle breeze that's gently pushing against her skin.
This is another tasteful nude gallery by Peter Janhans, if you have never been there then you should go and take a look.
Enjoy!
I remembered the story of Artemis and Actaeon when I saw this gallery. Alex is the perfect model to be Artemis, beautiful, charming, and divine(well, let's leave the harsh Artemis alone now, this is Artemis having a bath with her nymphs), if you notice there's even w stream next to her.
Maybe it's just my good mood, but this gallery contains real tasteful nudes.
Enjoy Alex from Arnold Studio!
What caught my attention about this gallery is Lezhan's flowing golden hair and the simple daylight which gives the whole gallery a sense of being natural. The beauty of South Africa is reflected on Lezhan's face, which gives it a charming aura.
Petter Hegre sometimes can produce wonders, he's a very good talent however, he recently hasn't been really using it. The images which made him enter the hall of fame were, in my opinion, those of Nude Yoga(The set Vibeke Nude Yoga can be found if you visit the last page of this website). Recently I have noticed that he's featuring more images of very thin models(yes, you can skip that surface anatomy section now).
I was browsing his collection in order to choose the gallery to feature here on Graceful Nudes, and I seem to have found a pattern. Most of the models in the recent updates start by wearing lingerie or panties and then they slowly take them off, the sets are concluded by a close-up of the model's outer genitalia and you may get a chance to see the external urethral orifice as a bonus, and of course I won't forget the images in which the models caress their breasts.
I don't believe that these kinds of sets can be labeled as art, maybe as erotic images or even as "softcore/teen", I don't know what has happened to some of the best websites. I do know how it feels like to be pressured to release an update everyday in order to write the attractive sentence "We offer daily updates", Indeed you do, but this doesn't necessarily mean that you offer quality updates.
I believe that every model has her own right to shine, I prefer complexity in nude art, However, when all of the galleries follow the same theme(a model sitting on a chair?) and the models are making the same poses, the model just becomes another girl in the crowd, eventually she will become an tool that stimulates the basic sexual instincts of the visitor and a favorite tool which aids in masturbation(I have nothing against masturbation, but I do hate it when the model loses everything she stands for and to be viewed as a statue without feelings that's to be exploited).
I don't have anything against Petter Hegre, I just feel that it's my duty as a fan and as a webmaster to express my honest opinion of the trend that most websites seem to be following.
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy this gallery.
I love everything about this gallery; the lighting is fairly beautiful, the model is beautiful, and the photographer is an experienced one. What I don't really like the full gallery is the fact that Dasha bites her lip several times which is a clear sexual hint.
However, Pasha was really able to capture the beauty of Dasha I in this set from Met-Art.
Enjoy!
What attracts me so much to Brenda is her eyes, they make her look like she's an alien, a creature from another world where everything is beautiful. The mythical atmosphere of the gallery makes it special even though it's following the ordinary "girl on the back of a yacht" scheme.
Christopher Lamour's photography seems to be of high quality as well, I just hope that you will enjoy this gallery.
P.S. Her veins don't bother me anymore.
