Photographer Steve Marais captures naked women wearing unusual Barbie doll accessories in this intriguing series. This striking editorial is called ‘Nude’ (which seems extremely fitting, considering the content). The models in this series wear light shades of makeup, which is in keeping with the nude theme behind these beauty captures.
These enticing shots incorporate elaborate necklaces, earrings and headpieces made out of undressed dolls. These stripped Barbie doll accessories help to keep these gals partially covered up, while somehow making these photos even more risqué.
Stylists Alex Botha and Renate Verwey do a phenomenal job of making these bare photos seem more dramatic. The Barbie accessories featured in this series are eye-catching and bizarre. These shots transform childhood toys into sinful pieces of plastic jewelry, stripping these items of their innocence.
