Welcome to our Nude No. #50
April 2025
In photography, "natural" typically refers to capturing images using only the available light from the sun (or focusing on the natural world and its forms with minimal artificial intervention. "Au naturel" in photography, as in other contexts, signifies something that is in its natural state, without any added embellishments or alterations. This style contrasts with heavily edited or stylized images that often use filters, makeup, or retouching to create a specific aesthetic. In this issue of NUDE #50 we try to capture the essence, or the “natural” unedited moment of beauty within the photography world of landscapes and of the human form.
Embracing "au naturel" is important because it encourages self-acceptance, celebrates natural beauty, and promotes a more sustainable and mindful approach to beauty and wellness, moving away from societal pressures to conform to artificial standards.
We hope that all the models and their photographers, and most certainly you, the viewer, will see the beauty in its natural form. As always, thank you for your patronage we appreciate you.
"It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living."-- Sir David Attenborough
