Nude Model Kate R.
I was surprised to see these pictures of Kate on Domai. They are by Bredon, who I collaborated with to create Art Nude Angels. It makes me wonder how the owner of Domai purchases his pictures. I get the feeling his acquisitions are piecemeal, so to speak. I have already published all of these pictures and I know what he has of these particular sets is incomplete. Which is not to say the Domai collection of Kate R. from other photographers isn’t extraordinary, just if you are looking for the complete nudes of her from Bredon, they are here. On Domai, there is a good range of her being active outside. Bredon works primarily indoors, so it’s worth it to see the difference.
On Art Nude Angels, I gave her the name Erica, for no reason in particular, but she is one of my all-time favorite nude models, specifically because she’s a nude model. I believe I’ve written that she is the kind of woman who is truly better off naked, nude, however you want to put it. The bottom line is that clothes don’t work for her. She’s almost frumpy in clothes and doesn’t make a good first impression. She’s not the kind of woman you pass on the street and do a double take to check out her ass. You’re not going to think to yourself, “Damn, who was that?” She’s forgettable, and commonplace, just a part of the scenery, maybe even homely. I wouldn’t go that far, but the point is made. Once Kate is out of her clothes, the magic begins.
It should be noted, since she’s been around for some years now, she has gone through some changes. Actually, there is a period of hers in which she has the weirdest haircut you’ve ever seen on a nude model. Luckily, in the Bredon pictures, and the other pictures on Domai from Max Asolo, Maker (whose pictures look suspiciously like Goncharov’s), and Vitaliy Gorbonos, her hair is not in this bizarre style. It’s on Femjoy that her hair just looks like the stylist went at it with gardening sheers and a hedge trimmer. Basically, it’s a mullet. Don’t take my word for it.
Still, even in these Domai pictures, her hair is not fashioned in what I consider a remarkably feminine style. It looks messy, and that fits in with her overall natural beauty and sexuality when nude. I think in terms of just naked beauty, she’s on the same level as Sofi A., in terms of possessing the qualities of the untamed, natural, beast woman, so to speak. She’s the type of woman who would probably be happier living in a feral state. That means, if you were to see her in make up, you’d probably throw up. That would be the extreme reaction, but you can see for yourself, the more styling that is added to her, the less appealing she is. She’s lost behind the stockings, and lipstick, etc. etc.
She’s completely beyond the trappings of cosmetic beauty. She’s rather flexible, nice legs, and she poses them very well. Her breasts have very appealing proportions. What’s more, Kate is totally comfortable nude in front of the camera and it shows. All of her shoots are marked by sexuality and enthusiasm for nudity. The only way she’s photographed wrong is when the photographer doesn’t respect the fact that she’s supposed to nude, and all accessories she wears must be very understated. She’s the definition of a nude subject. Her body is art. The rest is just clutter. The best accessory for her is atmosphere, perspiration, her natural moisture, seeping out to the surface of her being. You can check it out here. I named this set Bod Dewy, and it’s by Bredon and it’s one of the sexiest sets of her on the net.

Nudes of young Veronica
I wrote about Veronica/Svetlana a couple days ago when she appeared on Zemani for the first time and couldn’t help publishing a new set of her for Art Nude Angels. Clearly Veronica looks younger and a lot more joyful in this set, while retaining, what I consider to be her signature, an air of mystery. She definitely has a certain charisma in these pictures that might have something to do with the photographer she worked with. What I find distracting about her in these pictures is the uninspired posing of her body. Her eyes and face are satisfactorily expressive. Maturity of mind and character is present in your youthful aspect and entirely perceivable.
Veronica’s just not doing much with the rest of her body. The hands behind her head, the pointing elbows, it’s all very beginner model. I’m not even sure what that pose is supposed to mean. Is it natural for a woman to hold herself this way? What’s remarkable about Veronica is how voluptuous her slender body appears. I can’t stress enough that she makes an underwhelming first impression. You have to appreciate her for more than a moment to realize what a an incredible body she has, not at all skinny, very elegant breasts, attractive, curvy, slender hips, and of course her backside, which is well hidden in these pictures, but still noticeable.
Accessories like a plain black shirt work because it obscures and reveals at the same time. It’s the principle on which the thong works. The thong is extremely revealing while concealing an important focal point thereby forcing the eye on and amplifying importance of another focal point. Simply put, the vagina is hidden so the buttocks takes on greater significance. Hiding her arms draws your eyes to her torso and lower half, and prompts you to want to seem more of her lower half, inviting you into the shirt and what you can’t see.
As for the composition, it’s very typical of the site. There’s nothing interesting about it. The photographer just stuffed her in a corner next to a window, very typical. The crop is very tight. Veronica clearly wasn’t directed to do anything creative with herself to make the pictures more interesting. However, she might not be that kind of model, that being dynamic and exciting, because in the Zemani set, as Svetlana, her and the photographer had all the space of a forest to work with and she still didn’t produce extraordinary images.
Compare this, what an outdoor, nature, swampy forest shoot should look like, to this, and you’ll see what I mean. There’s really no comparison, at all. Sofi A. is extraordinary, vibrant, physical specimen with tons of passion for posing. Her photographer complements her natural ability and talents by shooting her in surroundings in which she can excel. Veronica/Svetlana appears totally uninspired next to Sofi, in the same environment. The reason Svetlana appears boring has to fall on the artistic vision of the photographer and not pushing the subject to perform to her fullest.

Young Nude Model Svetlana
I know some of you might be sick of all the features about big breasts, busty models. Some of you are in heaven, because there have been some really good new models published on some websites in the past few weeks. Well, frankly, there’s not been much to talk about other than busty girls, except for a few sets here and there, and busty girls just really stand out to me. Even Zemani, the site I’m writing about has had breasts on the mind recently, and this week was no exception as it published a set of busty blonde Dashka this week.
Anyway, here goes an exceptional girl of a normal size, or a girl with attributes besides those on her chest, whom I’ve written about before on this site and published have published sets of on Art Nude Angels. Svetlana, just has one of those timeless, youthful faces which makes an immediate impression. She reminds me of a younger, smaller, brunette Svanhild from Domai fame. Svetlana, who I named Veronica for Art Nude Angels, has an air of innocence, captured in this set as scenes of feminine self-discovery. The first picture of her watching her step, and the last picture of her looking up a tree exemplify this concept. Having seen published and currently unpublished sets of her, I’m glad to see her outdoors and interacting with an environment other than being in a flat doing basic modeling poses.
If there is one fair criticism of Art Nude Angels and Bredon, Thom Stockton’s photography in general, it is the lack of diversity in sets and locations. I hope this changes in the future and he shoots more girls outside. However, I think one of his idiosyncrasies as a photographer and artist is his insistence on having a flat and working with a model in it, inside, so it might not happen. Lack of diversity in location is my major complaint with the way the model Danica on Femjoy has been used recently. Danica is always in a studio or inside somewhere, no matter what site she’s on or which photographer she’s working with; always doing the same studio poses under the same lighting schemes. Danica is a gorgeous girl but you want to see her doing things, outside, exploring, just for a change of pace.
In Thom’s defense, I will say though, I think he inadvertently photographed Svetlana/Veronica’s body a lot better than this photographer called Fitin. What is amazing about Svetlana is that you may not immediately realize how wonderful her curves her, her hips, backside, and even her breasts, for a small girl, are very remarkable and outstanding in the nude art world. I haven’t seen her on any other sites but Art Nude Angels and Zemani, A-to-Z, but look at the cover. The cover reads Bonus Serie, which to me speaks to a special edition, or addition, for an exceptional and rare model.
The only thing that would have made this set even better than it is would have been to see Svetlana with a big, goofy smile. From what I’ve seen of her, she doesn’t like to show teeth, leaving us with mysterious, knowing smirks, and I mean they are the very definition of smirks. When she’s not smirking, and looking into the lens, she looks serious and in some pictures absolutely melancholy, which is also interesting, and adds Romance to the textures of mystery and self-discovery already realized in the images.

Nude Model Ashley Bulgari
I haven’t given much credit to Ashley, Ashley Bulgari the years she’s been around mainly because I went through a period where I didn’t find tattoos attractive and I didn’t think women who had breast enhancements were indicative of the goals of nude art. I still don’t find tattoos particularly attractive. Nowadays, however, I don’t mind them. For a while, it was like an automatic out, to use a baseball analogy. Now, as long as they aren’t terribly distracting and misplaced, I don’t think they’re so bad. The worst tattoos, and you kind of have to speak of them as people, the worst tattoos, for me, are placed on the breasts, near the vagina, and the buttocks. Basically, if there is a tattoo near the areas of primary sexual focus and interest, the tattoo is misplaced, and I just question the decision-making of the owner of the tattoo. Needless to say, facial tattoos are also incredibly stupid, for women.
Ashley Bulgari’s tattoos are not misplaced, in fact, and are only a minor distraction. Ashley’s breast augmentation also is not as unappealing as I once found them since I found implants completely distasteful, for a time. That phase is over now. I never minded implants as a kid. I thought they were perfectly fine. I think there came a point though, about 10 years ago or so, a great emphasis was placed on natural breasts, which coincided with the emergence of so-called reality porn. So, perhaps for me, real breasts became desirable because I was watching real women instead of actresses, and this blurring of fantasy and reality created quite an impression on me and many others. Since then, I think porn in general has shifted back toward actresses and professionals, and reality porn has been replaced by so-called amateur porn, and in a sense, actresses, professionals with enhancements are once again very acceptable.
I don’t believe Ashley has done any explicit films, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she had. Just because she has a very typical porn star look doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be viewed with an artistic eye. I wouldn’t write about any porn she’s done on this site if she has, anyway. I definitely think she’s done some lesbian videos, and that’s not too far off from hardcore. It’s also exactly what we have here with Alissa white. A couple of things jump out at me about these images, besides the obvious contrast of complexions, which I find very appealing against the flesh tones of the steps, the chocolate roof, and the green flourishes. What I find interesting has nothing to do with Ashley. Alissa appears really big in some of the images. I’ve wrote about this peculiarity with regard to her appearance a few weeks back. Similarly, in another image, Ashley looks to be the larger of the two. Take a look:
W4B really went to town on Ashley this week, only releasing two new galleries, both featuring Ashley. Of the two, the one with Alissa is worth comment. This one, entitled Corset, exemplifies everything wrong with Ashley, meaning how photographers misuse her. It’s enough she has implants, tattoos, piercings, and a tan. She comes complete with styling so I would go light on additional styling. Also, what hurts this set is the red and black. The two colors just don’t work with the background environment, Ashley’s skin color, and her hair color. The styling cheapens her.
That is too much to me. There’s too much going on with her making the complete image appear cluttered. There is nothing glamorous about a cluttered image or subject. The solo set of Ashley on W4B is bested by another site, Photodromm, which also released an Ashley Bulgari set that is superior in its simplicity.
That is Ashley Bulgari. This set is equal to if not better than what I’ve seen of her on MC-Nudes and Met Art as Jessie A. In fact, under the alias aka Jessie A. on Met Art you can see her in a very innocent state, pre-op, before her implants, breast augmentation. This Photodromm set captures just how extraordinarily pretty her face is. The orange bikini is a nice color against her body. The styling she’s equipped herself with is enough, and the blue sky canvas is a perfect simple backdrop for an otherwise complicated subject. I was looking around the Bravo Media web site a few days back (Bravo Media is a model agency) and noticed one of the big tags was Ashley Bulgari. Judging by this onslaught of content published this week, well, now I know why.

Nude model Anna Q.
I’m a little surprised to see Anna Q. here in a Met Art update. She is one of the most favorite models on Art Nude Angels. I named her Esta, just because she has that kind of dark, mysterious Spanish brunette look about her. In fact, she’s not Spanish, just has the look. Anyway, when I edited the sets of her, it was immediately apparent that she was one of Thom Stockton, or Bredon’s muses. Therefore, the biggest on the internet of Anna Q. is on Art Nude Angels. Set after set, this guy just took a million pictures of her. I would not be surprised if he had even more of her. I’m not in love with these pictures by Rigin. If there is another site where there’s a lot of content of her, it’s on Rigin’s site. You’ll see for yourself how prolific a photographer Rigin is. I’m not criticising his work per se, I just feel that what Bredon did with her was much better in general, especially compared to this set, which isn’t awful, just
not terribly interesting. What’s more, we have videos of her.

Black and white Artistic Nudes
Nikki is back for Art Nude Angels. You may know her better as Natasha Shy. I figure it’s rather fitting that I published these images today and am now writing about them here as I was contacted by the photographer, Thom Stockton, aka Bredon, today. Why a photographer needs two aliases is beyond me. He didn’t have much to say other that he wants money and has more models and sets, so we’ll see how that goes. I had to knock him a little, recently, as it’s my opinion the pictures of Mirela A. published by Zemani this week are a lot more striking than the work he did with her. However, I said the same for Goncharov, so it’s really not personal.
I will say though, his sets of Nikki are the most remarkable of her you will see on the internet. He has to be praised highly for them because if you see her in her natural state, that being that of a complete nymphomaniac, and compare them to the images of this set, you’d swear you were looking at two different models. I think these images are even better than the Pop Nudes set I published of her months ago, which oddly enough never really caught on. I would love it if this set became popular but I don’t think it stands much of a chance as it’s in black and white, which brings me to the point of today, as Art Nude Angels was not the only site to release a black and white set for promotion.
Breathtakers.com and the butt obssessed Michael White have followed suit and released this black and white set of Danielle Maye. While both sets are faux monochrome images, meaning the images were captured on an actual black and white camera, there can be no debate that Thom Stockton’s images are superior. I think Michael White’s obsession with butts is rivaled only by his obsession to take pictures of women sitting by windows bathed in natural white light. This leaves these black and white pictures looking especially artificial, to me, even more than the consistently uninspired work of Didier Carré. Which is certainly not to say Danielle isn’t lovely. She is definitely looking very sexy in these pictures, despite the cluttered composition.
With Nikki it’s straight to the point, simple and lovely. I named the set Fit’s In because Thom really captured the muscle definition and contours of her physique, brilliantly. She’s not a fitness model but a large numer of women would love to be built like her. And despite some early criticisms I received her, I don’t think she looks too skinny at all. I think she has a great behind and the tone is perfect.

Stunning set of Mirela
Remarkable! Truly some very engaging photography in this new set from Zemani. The images feature a favorite of this site Mirela A., who has appeared on a number of sites including Met and Art Nude Angels, where she is called Zoya. In fact, months ago, I wrote a little about Mirela and compared the photography styles of Goncharov and Bredon aka Thom Stockton, respectively, discussing how they both treated the same subject, the subject being Mirela. Well, with all due respect to both of those photographers, this set absolutely blows their work away, making them look like amateurs not at all concerned with composition, creating striking imagery, and visual storytelling. I think this picture
says it all:
And what’s so wonderful about it is that she is turned away from us, facing the same direction as we are, and she’s not in a sexually provocative pose, either. That she is not inviting brings us into the drama of the moment, almost as if she’s turned to the sea and the horizon, suddenly,in expectation of something, a ship perhaps, perhaps the rumblings of thunder above the ocean. Whatever it is, it has her full and complete attention. Of course, she has a great figure and tons of sex appeal.
My only critical remark about the set would be the use of the secondary light source. The shadow it creates betrays the fact that there are two light sources, creates a somewhat clumsy shadow on the rock, which effectively ruins the illusion of the picture, that being how definied she is in what is an otherwise overcast day.

Ashley Blonde Nude Model Body in Mind
Ashley Is This Seat Taken
Ashley here very sexy. There’s nothing too extraordinary about her look, in general though she makes a solid nude subject. To me, something about her says explicit adult films, meaning porn. Maybe it’s her eyes or just wishful thinking on my part, but I’m usually right about these sorts of things. I felt the same way about Hannah Hilton before she was ever in an adult video. There’s an intensity in her eyes, a similar intensity I find in fellow BiM model Rachelle Wilde. I would describe the look as sexual contempt, which can be sexy. Both models impart to me a sense that I should be grateful to be able to see them nude, meaning, it’s almost as if there is no joy in the exchange for them. They are nude in a begrudging way. This is more of a confrontation than it is something she’s enjoying. That can be very sexy.
Cat Retro Pants
There’s really not much to be said about this set. I like Cat as a model but she’s wearing too much make in these pictures. Anyway, you have to read the copy of the site, though. I guess what it asserts can be verified to some degree, but it’s a very odd accompaniment to the nudes. Let’s just say, if you hate Tom Cruise movies and the fact that he’s a movie star you can pretty much blame birth control.
More importantly this week’s BiM update comes with a personal communication I received for the site’s admin and I suppose the mind behind the site, regarding the comments I made a few weeks back about the most recently published shoot of Alece. It wasn’t that I found the set boring which bothered Dwayne Bell but me writing about he and his wife’s relationships with their models. So, to make it entirely clear, Dwayne Bell’s work with models is entirely professional. I don’t think he quite understood the point I was trying to make as his language was very defensive, so much that he considered it a vulgar personal attack. To make it perfectly clear, D&L Bell are happily married, and they are strictly professional with their models.
From Dwayne Bell:
Body in Mind invented the concept of focusing on the beauty of nudes without a preoccupation with sex more than 13 years ago. If our photos are not sexy or seedy it is by design. To be frank you seem miserably unaware that there is such a thing as art. Porn is not art, and we have no interest in it, nor will you find it on bodyinmind.com. That is why people join our site. We are an alternative, and increasingly, the only alternative, to vulgar porn.
I think his statements here are proof that there is a sexual disconnect between photographer and model when it comes to sets photographed by this couple. The point I was trying to make is that I think there should be, every now and then, a sexual tension between photographer and model, especially when it’s just photographer and model. As much as I dislike his work, Ron Harris, the very well regarded photographer, made it very clear on his site that he sleeps with his models. Which is not to say his site compares to BiM in any respect. The contributors of Body in Mind and the models of the site are of entirely higher caliber. However, other photographers have made this clear to me, as well, that sex with models is something they do. I’ve made the same presumption about Goncharov and Sofi A. on Met Art. It’s totally unfounded but if you were shooting her as intimately as he shoots her, why wouldn’t you want to have sex with her?
Now, if you’re on the set of some magazine shoot, this kind of connection or attraction is probably not going to happen, what with stylists and assistants running around every where. On the contrary, if a photographer and model are one-on-one, the pursuit can take on an intimate quality, and if you’re one of the lucky photographers, perhaps the model’s true sexuality comes out. The honest desires of a model can make fascinating images. This is exactly the problem with porn these days. It’s too professional. The desire of the model is compromised by the director and producer’s objective of pumping out content as quickly and economically as possible. It’s factory porn. Women come to do a job. They chop up their bodies with surgicial enhancements, paint their faces, and they go get paid.
Now, it’s fine to present a site with a philosophy which is anti-porn, but to insist images of nude women are somehow above sexual preoccupation is uncompromising. As much as one can enjoy the ideals of nude art and good intentions, I don’t see how he’s not objectifying women for profit. Objectifying seems like a harsh word and concept, but women enjoy being idolized. Women enjoy the attention. The problem is that some people don’t understand objectifying women is not the same thing as exploiting them.
It’s almost as if the site aspires to a form of mind control. I can tell by Dwayne’s tone he’s a very controlling person, but he seems to want us to appreciate female nudity from a neutered standpoint, or that of a happily married man, meaning if you are going to have a vulgar and pornographic, if you will, thoughts about the nudes on his site, then Body in Mind isn’t for you, which is utterly ridiculous. Body in Mind has some great work on it from some good photographers but to position it as though it invented naked women and somehow understands and appreciates nude models more than other sites is laughable, and reeks of fascism.
I was thinking the other day, never criticize the way someone has sex. It’s like criticizing the way a person chews their food. Whether or not you like it, it gets the job done, and the same can be said about how people appreciate the opposite sex. The attitude of Body in Mind is exactly what I was writing about the other day. Peta Todd is a fantastic model, but the site expects you to view her professionally and not as some guy surfing the net looking for fun. I try to present the nudes on this site from the perspective of art, but I know a lot of you are here for thrills, and I don’t even expect you to read what I write. Do what you want. It’s fine.

Sexy sexy leg warmers
Something very sexy about them. I like them because they remind me of the 1980′s and the first time
I noticed women, particularly in the movie Perfect with Jamie Lee Curtis. There was such a fitness
and aerobic craze back then, it was like every girl was wearing leg warmers, no matter what they were doing. It’s good to see them make a comeback, if you can call a few photo shoots on Met Art a comeback.
Of course, being the dancer hound he is, Goncharov presents Lili, the petite leggy blonde in the yellow,
orange, and brown pair, and matching scarf. She has a very cute aspect, though not particularly exotic
or unique. She’s pleasing in a pretty way, and should appeal to those looking for girls who have that
teen look, so popular on the internet. Just as a bit of digression, growing up, I never knew men
had such a fascination with teens. Is this a phenomenon of the internet or just a part of European
culture which has be assimilated into American sexual culture. As a kid, the porn I saw was never of this
genre. Naturally, what I was able to acquire was limited to what a 9-12 year old can get his hands on
I saw some my share, but it was never so blatant. As a teenager myself, I had no idea how lucky I was
to be near girls my age, apparently. Looking back now at vintage explicit adult content, I see it was
present, it was just something I never saw, till I got older.
I like the rooftop background. The lighting feels early morning to me. I will be interested to see what
she’s capable of. She’s not really bringing it in terms of posing and range of facial expressions.
In fact, she’s not really being expressive at all. I doubt Goncharov would book her if she wasn’t talented
in that respect. I think I was expecting a shoot more along the lines of what Rylsky did with Alexandra.
The two models are worth putting side-by-side, ironically, not only because they’re both wearing leg
warmers. The shape of their faces are similar, their chins and jawlines in particular. Though, I think
Lili has a kind of Jodie Foster thing going for her.
It’s also a Presenting, to use the jargon of the site, meaning, her first published shoot on Met.
Alexandra, in the gray leg warmers, is a bit more lively. She looks a bit more aware of what she’s doing,
and not the person behind the camera, as I suspect with Lili. It’s been my limited experience, that
some models cannot divorce themselves from who they are posing for, that is they are thinking more about
the photographer than modeling. Models do this for entire shoots or portions of the shoot. They
can be distracted by other people on set. The point is while they are posing they are more concerned
with those present than those who will be viewing their images. It can ruin a shoot, really. I don’t think
Lili’s shoot was ruined but compared to Alexandra I sense she wasn’t entirely paying attention to what
she was doing.
Alexandra has a bit more chest to work with: very nice full chest. Her nipples really looked lightened.
I won’t even get into that. Overall, she just looks like she’s having more fun than Lili. I don’t
find much artistry in either set. The potential for that is kind of ruined by the clothing accessory.
I like the style of leg warmers, but I find both models are looking into the lens to much to tell
a story. That’s kind of what you would expect from a first set. I honestly believe Lili has greater
potential for artistry. I would be surprised if Alexandra didn’t remain one of the models in the lens,
so to speak.

Busty Nude Model Carol
One thing you can say about Craig Morey you can’t say for a lot of nude photographers
is that he isn’t afraid to use models with big breasts. He likes big breasts, clearly,
and that’s a good thing, because it gives his site variety; something for everybody,
not just guys looking for younger models.
As good and successful a photographer as he is, I’m not getting the feeling he takes
advice or criticism very well. A lot of artists are this way. I contacted
him a few weeks back in my role as affiliate, and explained to him I also run
a program and have experience with designing free galleries. The problem with
his galleries are that inside the html affiliate codes are not registered in the
manner most websites set up their galleries. He uses some kind of CCBill redirect
page with an affiliates code in it, but that’s all.
Well, I told him that it’s not the conventional way and offered to fix his galleries
so that affiliates would have confidence in promoting his site the way they do all
the other sites. He said he was aware of the issue and was working on it with someone
and thanks for my offer of help and if I had any input, he’d appreciate it. Two months
later, there’s no change. I’m not saying the way he’s doing it doesn’t work. I don’t
know and won’t speculate about his sales statistics, or affiliate earnings promoting
his site. I can say that I haven’t made any money from his site, despite unusually high
referral stats for his site in particular, which I attribute to his unique method of
setting up his affiliate links. I actually haven’t written about his work since because
I was unsure that I was being credited for traffic properly. Now, I will take a different
approach and I feel it’s best because some of his work is really worth commenting on.
Take these images of Carol, Carol Goldnerova. I prefer his take on her to how she appears
on DDFProd sites, which is total glamour, very smutty, and produced only with the bottom line
in mind. That’s business, but when you have an older model, and the way you shoot her
makes her look even older and more used, you should rethink your methods. In Morey’s
shots the lighting isn’t as intense. I can’t say she looks much younger, just softer.
Given the resources available to both photographers, (Denys DeFrancesco being the producer
and eponymous owner of DDFProd) they should be a little more creative with their
shoots. The more I learn about photography I realize taking interesting pictures isn’t
much more than interesting lighting and subjects.
I also understand the goal of the DDFProd set is different from normal nude art
and glamour sites. This is the only set I could find offhand to illustrate the point
I want to make, and it happens to be a bad example as it’s very NSFW. The fact is
thought that the sites have many models in common and it goes to show the range of
shoots models book, particularly in Europe.
