Lottie & Bex
A beautiful and sensual image by Cambridge based photographer Rob Ellis.
Like a fine painting
Beautiful shot of Lizzie Bayliss by Maxwell Correia.
Who are you?
Another stumble across an uncredited image on Tumblr. Doesn’t stop me from showing it to you!
If anyone wants to tell me the model and photographer I’d love to credit them here.

Sin City II: A Dame To Kill For
I loved the first movie and eagerly await Frank Miller’s sequel, but there seems to be 101 different teaser posters preceding the release of the film.
So, let’s just concentrate on the only one of them to have been awarded the dubious honour of being banned.
It’s good enough for me though; simply because it features the delectable and always delightfully dirty Eva Green (and, if I’m bored later, maybe I’ll update the post with a broader selection of posters).

Quite Frankly – The Cover
FIRST LOOK!
Here it is, fresh off the press and with it’s beautiful foil-blocked masthead, the cover for Issue One: Quite Frankly.
Photography by The Quite Delightful Project’s Editor Katherine Wood, and the cover model is the magazine’s designer (The English Group’s own) Alice Taylor.
…and let’s give credit where credit is due, a big thank you to the whole team at our wonderful printers Opal.

Brooke by Damon Loble
I am a big fan of naturalistic photography, it just seems more honest, and real, and I am also a longstanding fan of Damon Loble’s image-making.
So, do I need to justify including this image to any greater degree?
Thanks to The Quiet Front for drawing my attention to it.
Rihanna in Lui
Lui May 2014 featuring Rihanna, inspired by Lui October 1972 featuring Karin Schubert—1970’s German actress turned pornographic actress in the 1980s.
Momentary Idle Distraction
Roxane & Tessa photographed by Kay Smith for Bambi Magazine issue XVI.
The Other Kate
Instead of printing multiple issues with multiple covers, V #87 features two covers of Kate Upton within the one issue.
The first cover (to the right) is that of a clothed Upton, then fold it back to find it is actually a plastic overlay, and below (which you can see after the jump) rests Upton in lingerie.
Venus In Furs
The reasons for posting this retro pin-up image of June Wilkinson should be abundantly obvious.

Beauty Revealed
Beauty Revealed is a miniature, by Sarah Goodridge, given to Daniel Webster, 1828.

Julia by Daniel Bauer
Some images just have the power to stop you in your tracks.
This naturalistic powerhouse, by Daniel Bauer, for me, does just that.

Swimming in the Rain
What a great image by photographer Hannu Perala.
Vee Is Back
It’s been a little while since we’ve been able to add images of our favourite model – she’s not really a model! – Vee Laroche, so here’s a little treat.
Mirror Mirror
A brilliant composition by Croatian photographer and photo journalist, Stanko Abadzic.

A Date With Kate
It seems to be that if more than a few days go by without some fine portraiture or photography featuring Kate Moss, there’s something not all well with the world…
…so here’s a photograph of Kate looking a little more fullsome than usual.

Miranda Kerr By Sebastian Faena

Dirty Girl
Having just returned from a run with the dogs, covered in mud, this lovely image by Ellen Von Unwerth has captured my attention and made me smile.
…no, this wasn’t like my own running outfit.

Vee Laroche
A beautiful monograph of photography comprising two editorials by LA-based photographer Darren Ankenman (originaly shot for uber-cool Purple magazine).
Kate Upton
It’s been a while since we posted an image of model Kate Upton and, to be honest, it’s quite clear that there’s no special reason to post this one… …but here it is.

The Happening
An image that instantly conjures that liberated easygoing spirit of the summer of love.
I’ve no idea who the photographer is, but I came across the image on a website apparently dedicated to ‘romantic pornography‘ (is that perhaps a rather lovely concept when one considers the reality of what would usually actually find on the top shelf).

A Bouncing Start To The Day
Forgive me, I admit that I found this little animated GIF just too arresting to ignore.
The film is called The Distraction – can’t really see why though – and Ewelina Olczak (aka Victoria Macreatis) is the model from Stargard Szczecinski, Poland.

More Anonymous Tumblr…
As the temperatures seem to be still on the rise, it doesn’t take much to prompt me to consider whether there’s a chance to slip away to the beach (if not today, perhaps tomorrow).
…but I do wish that Tumblr users would credit the images that they post.

Inwersjaa
Sensual and erotic image by Inwersjaa (who I think is Russian, but perhaps someone will be able to tell me more).
Lara Stone Covered Only By Wine
I can’t help but imagine the scene at the end of Austin Powers where Elizabeth Hurley’s modesty is humorously protected by some strategically placed milk jugs.
In this shot of Lara Stone, it’s wine glasses doing the obscuring. But what is brilliantly clear is that i-D magazine know how to sell issues.
More Vee Laroche
More of the arresting Vee Laroche, this time a set of images featured on a Rochester MN-based photographer’s ‘Chafografie: Imaging’ Tumblr.
The images are al clearly shot analogue, on film, on an old Yashica roll film camera and on 35mm.
It would be good to know the photographer’s name… …?
