Amelie – Banya

To Westerners, the not-so-traditional Russian bathhouse offers a strange mix of private services. Part spa, part gentleman’s club, ‘banya’ is a unique experience wherever you’re from. Some provide a strictly traditional Russian sauna experience: steam rooms, hot pools, and icy baths. Others offer all that, plus massage, fantasy rooms, and additional services for business travelers and its more wealthy clientele. Where else would you find a soaking pool with a mirrored ceiling? By day, the bathhouses are mostly quiet places offering excellent private, locations for shooting models such as Amelie.

Marta – Testing the Waters

How important is context in nude photography? It depends on the series and the model. If it’s relevant to understanding and enjoying the series more, we like to provide context to introduce the series. Speaking of introductions, Marta is a Ukrainian fashion model testing the waters of series-style nude posing for the first time. Although feeling fully exposed and completely out of her element, Marta did surprisingly well, relaxing more and more as the day wore on.

Maria – Warm Welcome

Maria has always brought a fresh, energetic vibe to her photo shoots. Her recent trip to Spain seemed especially liberating for her. There’s something about traveling to a warm, coastal climate that just makes you feel good. In Maria’s case, feeling good means looking good…especially sprawled out fully nude or playing in the water as the surf crashes in front of her.
