The following is not porn in my view. It can become porn only insofar the reader becomes addicted or bored. Hopefully, it will give you a finer appreciation for the art of photography and a better, more intimate knowledge of the models and their personalities.
I watched this first clip long time ago –it’s with Luba Shumeyko. She’s a Ukrainian model who posed for Hegre who ended up marrying her. The Russian blues has its charm, but the main attraction remains Luba’s freshness and sensual spontaneity.
Bruna Haas is a Brazilian redhead. She’s 23, from Sao Polo and studies for her Masters in Corporal Restructuring :P. Like most Brazilians, she’s shy but warms up in time and speaks her language like a caress. She thinks that the body is the basis for everything. Few people understand that Brazil is a catholic country, where attitudes are seemingly on the conservative side, but people get crazy when they leave the country or get to know you better, in time. She loves her eyes but hates her bum, because is not sufficiently “Brazilian” (big).
Ana Lucia is 22, from Buenos Aires and lives since 2006 in Mexico City with her BF. She isn’t shy at all, as she used to be a professional model, currently focusing on acting. Kern liked her long torso and took photos of her smoking weed, which she enjoys. Unlike Bruna (above), she loves her ass and seems to like (it) purple.
Sophie is from Paris and contacted Kern directly. She’s writing a book called Obsession; it’s about men. She’s perky, has attitude and speaks fast, like most French women. Kern talks about S curve, or how women with small breasts arch themselves. Turned on is to be hot, she asks?
Sativa Verte, of Italian background, took her name from a pot bed & breakfast din Vancouver, Sativa Sisters. She launched her career on Howard Stern’s shaved or not shaved, belonging to the second category. Kern himself thinks that “shaved is coming back” and hates “brazilian couture”, but(t) loves her breasts. He’s not too impressed by hippies in general, which she seems to be.
I don’t know if these clips determined you to become an artist or only increased your blood flow in certain areas, but if you’re interested in learning more about nude photography, you might find the links below helpful.
