Matthieu Sonnet Captures Soft Sensuality in Women

As a French photographer, I think it's safe to assume where Matthieu Sonnet was able to find his inspiration for capturing the sensuality found in his portfolio. Considering that the French have long been regarded as one of the most romantic races on the face of this planet, need I elaborate?

Even when shooting porn star Katsuni, Matthieu Sonnet is able to focus on her softer side rather than her raw sexuality. His work demonstrates perfectly the importance of lighting and how it can set the mood for any shoot.
