Modern society might have a slew of various technological advances to make life easier, but the First Decade of Decadence photo series shows that life may have been a whole lot more interesting back in the day. Simpler lives often leads to simpler pleasures, and those indulgences are certainly reflected in this photo shoot, albeit in a relatively specific and sensual way.
Shot by Madrid-based fashion photographer Esteban Palazuelos, who was assisted by Noel Suárez, the First Decade of Decadence photo series definitely advocates surrendering to your most basic of desires. This photo spread appeared in an issue of GQ Spain. Starring Atrezzo Kynika, who was erotically styled by Nuria Sánchez with hair by Pedro Cedeño, First Decade of Decadence actually looks like it was photographed in another long-ago era.
