I have Marveled at Liz's remarkable and stark beauty in a couple of past sets. I have received mixed feedback about her, and yet I am adding her again. The reasons are simple, I like hard features, and she seems to have a strong personality. I also really like the fact that she's an American.
Morey's work is revealing by my standards, but I managed to select a handful of images that adhere to my standards and show her remarkable beauty. I hope that you will like it. If you like things explicit, you can always head to Morey Studio for the "full" version.
This is the second gallery from the wonderful American model Liz Ashley to appear on GN. Also from Morey Studio.
Morey's sharp style is very clear in this gallery. Liz looks alluring with minimal props and make-up. He has a great way of adding glamor into the world of erotica while creating artistic nudes in the process. It's a very unique mix. His works with Liz Ashley strongly remind me of Courbet's L'Origine du monde. It's not the visible pubic hair, but it's a striking simplicity and artistic vision, a reverence for the beauty of female genitalia.
I know that this is not the typical GN style of galleries. I do find that approach admirable, and that's why I think that featuring it is worthwhile.
This gallery perfectly illustrates what I meant in my last post from Morey Studio. Liz Ashley is a famous American model whose pictures can be found in a lot of places, including Playboy and Penthouse, but her pictures from those other places are remarkably different from those shown here. They're remarkable artificial and Liz looks much less charming than she looks here with Morey's striking simplicity.
First, there is no commodification and she clearly is not treated like an object. Her pubic hair and her genitalia are not props. When she's standing there with her legs slightly apart she's the one in control, she's the one showing her body, and she's the one who's not ashamed of her femininity or of herself. There's a great sense of empowerment in those "explicit" images that you can see in this gallery. This is not an exception, for the images are very artistic and the focus is not without a deep meaning. You can not see a part of her body without seeing her face and her expressions.
She looks very powerful and confident in every picture, and that's what makes this set that amazing and Morey's works that special. I hope that you will see the same forces that I saw when I chose those images.
There are many special things about the artwork of Craig Morey. He's the photographer behind most of the images (trash?) at LSG, but he still manages to make most of those sets more presentable and actually quite artistic on his own website. I think that it's a story of how corporate mentality can damage perfect beauty.
I admit that his sets are quite explicit, but - I can't believe I am saying this - they're not vulgar. Yes, you can see the model's vulva, but there's nothing shameful about it. There's no unnecessary attention. Actually, there's some sort of a very personal feminine pride in those images, and I have to salute him and his models for it.
He apparently really likes simplicity, and I quite like his style myself. I think that most of his American sets look better than those shot in Prague or London. Most of his American models look like real girls who are very brave. I will be publishing another gallery of his with a different model soon and you will see what I mean.
American nudes can just be as good as those produced anywhere else. There's no shortage of photographers, talent, or equipment. I just don't really know what's wrong. Maybe it's the general attitude about nudity. Let's just hope that a day will come when Janet Jackson or any other celebrity can be willingly nude on TV without anyone complaining about it.
It has been years since I last visited Morey studio. Craig Morey is well-known for his LSG work. Morey Studio is his artistic website, where art takes precedence over erotica and market demand.
His style is marked for the simplicity that he employs to bring out the beauty of his models. In this Tiana gallery, he uses her natural beauty to show the contrast between it and that of the pattern of his studio carpet. It's a contrast between the beauty of humanity and the beauty of human-made objects in a festive celebration of the forces of life and our own work.
There are many breathtaking poses in this gallery, and many images are highly artistic. It serves as a great reminder that simple art can be sophisticated, and can deliver a pretty strong message, in an aesthetically pleasing way.
