Kinky Nature: Dark Erotik Fashion Photography

Kinky Nature: Dark Erotik Fashion Photography Overview

Kinky Nature draws you into a dream forest, teeming with the kinkiest beauties in the land. Explore the wild side of these enchanting girls, whether they're lost in latex or wandering the forest naughtily nude. Fetish and frivolity come together leaving everything and nothing to the imagination. The sultry style of Emma Delves-Broughton's satiates your desire for wild abandonment and kinky natures. Emma Delves-Broughton has always had an uncompromising eye, and this time she's trained it on the kinkiest girls this enchanted forest has to offer. The unrestrained (except when they're physically restrained) beauties are a testament to pure pleasure. Kinky Nature is tantalizing, steamy and seductive. What would you do if you were to suddenly come across a sensuous girl passively saran wrapped to a fallen tree in the forest? Emma Delves-Broughton teases us with this and other fantasies; a vampy vixen sprawled bare skinned and exposed, a kinky creature coyly shows off her wears, attired in nothing but red latex panties. These beauties tantalizingly lead you deeper and deeper into their kinky natures. Emma is a rare kind of photographer, managing to put the model at ease, regardless of the position. Although she started in black and white using a variety of techniques, including hand tinting and toning, she later branched out to color photo-graphy. All of the photos were shot deep in the drizzly forests of the UK. This was no warm and cozy studio shoot! Privacy was hard to come by, and more than once the models found themselves being observed by onlookers other than Emma. Kinky Nature offers bold colors, kinky costumes and of course, lascivious ladies. The damp greens and rough textures of the forest contrast with the delicate skin of the models; aside from their perfect skin, there's nothing delicate about these girls. Their teasing and lustful gazes will pull you into their fantasies. With a mix of latex and lace and sometimes nothing at all, the sirens live and breathe off the page. This book is dangerously seductive; you won't want to put it down!

The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion (Metropolitan Museum of Art) Overview

Model as Muse explores fashion’s reciprocal relationship to iconic beauties that represent the evolution and changing face of the feminine ideal. Featuring a brief historical overview of the phenomenon of the supermodel, the book begins in the early 20th century and continues to the present day. Dorian Leigh and Lisa Fonssagrives in the 1940s are joined in the 1950s by Dovima, Sunny Harnett, and Suzy Parker. They are followed by Jean “The Shrimp” Shrimpton and Twiggy in the 1960s and Lauren Hutton in the 1970s. The 1980s witnessed such enduring personalities as Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista, while the 1990s brought on Kate Moss, whose edgy, street-inflected style has inspired not only fashion designers, editors, stylists, and photographers, but artists such as Chuck Close and Lucien Freud.

Nylon Girls: Erotic Fashion Photography

Nylon Girls: Erotic Fashion Photography Overview

Nylon Girls are revealed to you through the camera of Christine Kessler. She takes you on an erotic journey in the company of a harem of stunning beauties. Nylon Girls exposes the intimate secrets of these most sensual starlets. Erotic and daring, with a pinch of fetishism, for extra spice. A dish to be savoured over and over.

Customer Reviews

hotographer Christine Kessler should need no introduction to Fetishistas fans -- though if she does, our recent Darenzia portfolio is not a bad place to start.

Steen (as she's known) is one of the fetish genre's most admired 'togs, a woman whose websites (My Fetish Diary etc) and other books provide constant evidence of her reliable instincts when it comes to making fetish pin-up images both cute and raunchy.

The rapport she establishes with her models means that she often gets pictures that would be more difficult for male photographers to tease out of the same girls -- pictures that often look more like intimate collaborations than mere voyeuristic opportunism.

Nylon Girls focuses, as the title suggests, on legwear (with some lingerie thrown in for good measure), and anyone familiar with Kessler's Toe And Arch website will realise that she's eminently qualified to cover this subject.

The book itself is one of Goliath's pocket-size, A5-format Portfolio offerings. With around 100 pages of colour pictures sandwiched between padded hard covers, this series offers a touch of inexpensive luxury (typically around £10 from Amazon) that makes for perfect gifts.

Pretty much all types of women's hosiery are represented in Nylon Girls, which more or less ensures that for every viewer, some pictures are going to be right on the money -- even if, given the often rather specific nature of fetishes, not all may be.

Just in the first few pages there are popsocks, thigh-length socks, faux-vintage nylons, black fishnet stockings, kneesocks with sock-suspenders, fancy fishnet tights, white lace-topped fishnets, green fishnets, white cherry-patterned stockings, nude vintage seamed nylons... you get the picture.

Even if not all of these styles ring your personal bell, there is much to enjoy in the way they're presented. The poses are, in most cases, a delight in themselves.

There are as many models as there are legwear styles -- including Mosh, Darenzia, Emily Marilyn, Angela Ryan, Apnea, Courtney Cruz, Stoya, Mz Berlin, Jade Vixen, Miss Conduct, Hollywood Geisha, Ruby Luster, Athena Fatale, Ancilla Tilia and Ulorin Vex.

In other words a substantial cross-section of America's fetish finest, with a few visiting VIPs included for good measure.

If you're really only interested in one very particular kind of legwear -- say, vintage-style nylons à la Bettie Page -- Nylon Girls' broad content might not be the perfect treat.

But for anyone who finds that, more often than not, hosiery enhances feminine glamour and sex appeal, have I got a Christmas stocking-filler for you! TM
