As we all know, sex sells and Settimio Benedusi has decided to capitalize on this proven fact--with a romantic twist, of course. This Italian fashion and editorial photographer has surrounded himself with all things beautiful, and that includes semi-nude models with a rather risque edge.
Based in Milan, Settimio Benedusi has created photographic works that are anything but typical. It's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture when one's subjects are put into an exceptionally sensual light, yet Settimio Benedusi seems to have made it his duty to meld sexual energy with an artistic outlook that gives each of his images a unique perspective.
Settimio Benedusi's work has been featured in such publications as Sports Illustrated South Africa, SETTE Magazine, Juliet Design Magazine and Maxim.
