For those of you who don't speak Spanish, just learn it and use it with Hispanic ladies. More likely you'll get a giggle and her number. FYI, you can click on the photo to make it bigger.

Naked, A State of Mind

I used to be more on the sweet side when younger. Both my demeanor and style. But as my body developed and certain body parts looked voluminous on my small frame, things changed to say the least. I hadn’t changed, but the way people viewed me did. Even when I wore a little girl like dress, I looked “sexy”, just because my body filled it in a different way. There was absolutely nothing sexy about me. At least I wasn’t aware of it.

It has taken me years to actually become ‘it’, many to my own surprise. I discovered my body, my sex appeal and its needs. I am now completely aware of everything.

I did my first nude self portrait in 2009. It was a struggle. I debated whether to shoot it or not. It was a big step for me at the time. But not only I had nothing to fear, I discovered how free I felt.  It's the most truthful thing one can do. There is absolutely nothing to hide. It represents being comfortable, relaxed, inner peace, joy, sensuality, confidence. I can't tie a bad thing to being naked. It could even be funny if you wanted it to be. It's your naked body, it can be whatever you want it to be.

Artists and Nude

Artists have left us amazing art work depicting gods and goddesses in paintings and sculptures. Modern art explores it in more ways and that now includes digital photography. Playing with light, colour and shadows in order to highlight its mystery, delight and beauty. It is incredibly freeing to enjoy yourself in the nude. Embracing what you have been given in any shape or size. After all, being naked is in my eyes a state of mind. I can be naked while out on a date in a fancy restaurant. In my head I am unclothed and I feel at ease, sexy and relaxed. He can feel "it" on my arrogant confidence, but he doesn't know what it is. I am naked in my head baby, that's all it is ;)

I am currently working on the creation of a collection of nudes reflecting the sensuality, the freedom, the music, the arts… if you are interested on being a subject, let me know.

Be free.
