Black Hole Shoots

'Natural Beauty' by Monica Antonelli Says, "Who Needs a Backdrop?"

'Natural Beauty' by Monica Antonelli is the latest in a series of shoots we've featured recently that eschew backdrops and staged sets in favor of simple, shadowy black. It's an appropriate choice for 'Natural Beauty,' as the lack of distraction forces you to focus on the stunning nude models that stand before you. (As if their nudity wasn't cause alone to get your attention.)

'Natural Beauty' proves that the beauty of a woman is cause enough for a shoot; no designer clothes, fancy backdrops or exotic locales are needed.
