Goncharov's sets are somewhat explicit in nature at the websites that like explicit content. It's a true shame as he often has some of the most beautiful models on Met-Art and his sets are often very beautiful. It's somewhat disturbing to see beauty being reduced to the anatomy of the genitalia, and that's why I often ignore his sets when choosing new galleries for display here.
This time I decided to take my chances by choosing the images that offer some balance between obsession with genitalia and beauty. I think that the results are interesting. It's even worse with his girl-girl sets.
Sofi A looks very familiar, but my memory betrays me with regards to where she has appeared before. She has multiple sets on Met-Art and that may be where I saw her before, but I am not quite sure about the details. Something in my mind tells me that she's from the Ukraine, but I didn't write it as her country because I am not quite sure that it's correct.
Ivan Kupala (Russian: Иван-Купала; Ukrainian: Івана Купала) is, according to Wikipedia, a pagan fertility rite. According to the article the name of that day came from the Slavic name of John the baptist (Ivan) and "Kupala" which is also derived from the Slavic word for bathing. What's interesting is that people would jump over the flames of bonfire while celebrating that holiday.
Body in Mind believes that those celebrations of fertility were inspired by female beauty. I do believe however, that they were rather inspired by the beauty of nature and its eternal rejuvenation. They also believe that some poses are suggestive, which is something that I didn't notice. It looks more to me like some models having some fun celebrating an ancient pagan holiday.
I hope that you will enjoy this Sergey Goncharov(right spelling) gallery from BiM.
I am not dyslexic, however, I have just realized that I have been spelling(and pronouncing) the name of one of my favorite photographers in a wrong way. I was looking at this Domai picture and read the name of the photographer, but, to my surprise it was written as "Sergey Goncharov", I was about to contact Domai to tell them about their mistake when I just checked and found his name to be Sergey Goncharov and not Segrey Goncharov...It's weird how one makes such mistakes, I believe I need to read the name of the photographer every time I see any of his works to make sure I am spelling and pronouncing his name correctly.
This gallery comes from Domai, the famous simple nudes website. Their galleries are always of a great quality and I have never found any of the images there sexual or disrespectful. It's always beautiful and graceful photographs of beautiful models.
This gallery is featuring a model called Katy May, you can truly see the true philosophy of simple nudes by inspecting this gallery. She's just a beautiful model who's enjoying being nude outdoors and is glad to share her beauty with us. There aren't any unnecessary elements in the images, there is no reflector, no flash, no make-up. Just pure, simple, and beautiful nudity.
I hope that you will enjoy this Domai gallery.
This gallery simply redefines the meaning of freedom. Viktusya is naked in a picnic with some friends and none of them seem to mind it, no one came to her and told her to get dressed, no one saw it as a sexual cue, and no one treated her like a seductress or called her names.
If a male did the same thing with a group of his male friends, I believe that he won't get a lot of retribution of his friends, no one will say anything to him, and certainly no one will dare to call him anything.
So, why do some societies have these double standards or what I would rather call discrimination against the female body?, maybe it's a remnant of the puritan culture that's still imprinted in some minds.
I don't see how anyone can see Viktusya sexually when Sergey Goncharov is photographing her in natural settings with her friends. It looks to me more like a female who's just having fun with her friends. I don't see any difference between her and her two other clothed friends, well, she may be more brave, but, that's all.
I hope that you will like this BodyInMind gallery.
Enjoy!
This is another wonderful gallery of a nude girl in nature, it just proves what I have said about Sergey Goncharov in my previous post. It's just full of joy, happiness, and positive meanings.
I usually find that the galleries I choose really depend on my mood and the music I am listening to, right now I am listening to Corvus Corax, which made me feel like I was looking at a gallery of a gypsy girl in the medieval times enjoying nature. That was for the first couple of images, then I saw the fire and what seemed to be a ritual which took me further back in time to an age where nature and purity where valued more than anything else.
I hope that you will like this Met-Art gallery.
Enjoy!
Every field has its masters, the gurus, the teachers, the people whose status has become legendary as manifested by their works and what they produce. Sergey Goncharov is one of those masters and I believe that it's hard not to hear his name when the masters of artistic nude photography are mentioned.
Famous for his natural nudes, beautiful models, and the positive way with which he presents his galleries, his works have been featured at a lot of nudity websites and he has gained a very positive fame and a lot of respect.
In his project "Fantastic Nude Girls In Nature", from which this gallery comes, he proves that the natural beauty is what he's after. Presenting you with wonderful pictures of nude girls in nature, pictures that you may have seen at some of the famous art collecting websites, and he offers them to you.
I hope that you will like this Sergey Goncharov Gallery.
Enjoy!
