Every era has its own ideals of beauty. For instance, back in the days of classic painters like Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), women were preferred a little more voluptuous, and throughout the 14th century, aristocratic women wore bell-shaped skirts in Spain and cylindrical skirts in France in order to appear more opulent. In the 15th century, the hoop skirt, emphasizing the meaty ass and the narrow waist, came into fashion. In fact, it was not until the 20th century that the ideal of beauty evolved towards slimmer women—and sure enough, models in general became thinner and then skinnier.
But the essence of beauty continues to be characterized by naturalness and youthfulness: Immaculate skin, symmetrical facial features, long, slender legs and firm breasts continue to appeal. It is this specific mixture of implied narcissism, smoothness and life-affirming charisma that makes a modern model alluring.
Mikhail Paramonov's latest erotic photo project fulfills all of these criteria. His models are natural, young and sexy. Appearing sassy, naked and without feeling embarrassed, they display the best sides of their beautiful bodies in a playful and at the same time provocative manner.
Paramonov was born in 1975 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He studied art at the Theatric Academy in St. Petersburg and began concentrating on erotic photography in 2002. He has a love for the natural beauty of women: a fresh, flawless and perfectly immaculate look—a look that's appeared in several magazines and books.
With this book, Paramonov makes a sweeping statement against the increasing prudishness in our society. With 300 photos of unconcealed, revealing girls, printed in color on high quality paper, when it comes to photo albums that will appeal to adult connoisseurs, this is about as good as it gets.
Paramonov's latest volume, Natural & Naked: Girls Uncensored, hardcover with 300 photos across 288 pages, with text in five languages, is currently available from Goliath Books and can be found by clicking here.
