I think this is the best of the series, as it has presence and depth of integrity, as opposed to just a sexual nature.

I don't think the nudity in these was particularly sexual. I won't try and claim there is NOTHING erotic about them but they're a far cry from porn.

I'm a bit disturbed by this one, the lighting and shine on the cheeks makes it look like either a wax model or a forensic reconstruction of the remains of an unknown deceased person. It doesn't look a like a real live person to me.

I think some of what you find disturbing comes from digital compression in the scanning process to get it online. I'll re-post it when I've been able to make a palladium print and see if that changes your take on it.

I like the Rembrandt type lighting of this portrait. The placement of the beauty dish also provides some hair light and adds some dimension.
