Boundary-Pushing Pictorials

Controversial Mario Sorrenti 'City of God' Shoot for V Magazine

The Mario Sorrenti 'City of God' shoot for V Magazine's Fall 2010 edition is causing quite the commotion. The shoot pushes boundaries with nudity, sexuality, and religious references strewn about.

Model Natasha Poly manages to maintain her beauty (and surprisingly, ability to display clothing) while holding such compromising poses; however, the nature of the Mario Sorrenti 'City of God' shoot may be too much for some critics.

With words like "blasphemy" and "perverse" being thrown around the blogosphere, there may be potential for a situation as messy as the post-cleanup for the shoot must have been.
