From powerful to vulnerable, Natasha seems to run through a whole gambit of emotions for the latest issue of Muse. Photographed by David Hamilton and styled by Zoe James, the Russian powerhouse strips down–literally and figuratively–in “d’Eté et de Poésie”.

Great photos. The lighting is particularly excellent.
Off-topic: Models without pubic hair freak me out. Especially when they have a VERY youthful look like Natasha does.
these are so beautiful, so so beautiful
Such a stunning editorial. Natasha commands our attention, but in a muted, come-hither sort of way.
Always love Poly….So natural and beautiful.
Wonderful, my prefered set of her ^^
David is still a king

disturbed beauty by watermarks…
there’s nothing uglier than marking images.
for me it’s definitely not a solution/answer
to grabbed posts/images (without source links).
the important thing for me is the beauty
of the image and the amazing work the
photographer has done. if i did not not own
the rights of an image i’m not going to
disturb this beauty by watermarking.
it‘s a matter of principle.
btw: natasha looks awesome and sooo lovely!
If you want the images without the watermarks, the magazine is 30 dollars.
they’ve made her seem so young and vulnerable (and she’s a fucking awesome model to pull it off) but the idea makes me slightly uncomfortable..
i’m not pc or anything.. just a feeling
well, i’m buying high fashion magazines for at least
$150 each month. so this wouldn’t be a problem joanna.
you don’t really understand what i mean and it does
look like we have different points of view regarding
ethics.
to own a publication does not mean that you buy
the copyright…
I’m glad to hear that buying the magazine will be no problem for you. Good luck.
Jess, you aparently are not familiar with this photographer, Mr. David Hamilton.
Before you read the below, please know that I am a big fan of Mr. Hamilton’s work. I recognize that controversy exists over some of his work, but I would add that this is limited to the the more puritanical/conservative parts of this planet. I myself consider David Hamilton an obvious Master of his craft and a genius with his artwork.

Controversy
As much of Hamilton’s work depicts early-teen girls, often nude, he has been the subject of some controversy and even child pornography allegations, mostly from North America and Britain, similar to that which the work of Sally Mann and Jock Sturges have attracted. In the late 1990s, some people protested bookstores that stocked Hamilton’s photography books but their efforts came to nothing. Because of differing attitudes regarding age and nudity, Hamilton has not received this negative attention in his adopted home of France, nor in the rest of the world.[citation needed]
In 2005, a member of the Surrey Police in Britain “wrongly claimed” that possessing Hamilton books was now illegal in the UK. Surrey Police were later forced to make a formal apology for the incorrect and unsubstantiated allegations made by Detective constable Simon Ledger (see: British Journal of Photography, September 2005), and admitted that no legally binding decision had been made on the work of David Hamilton.[citation needed]
The Guardian (UK), June 23, 2005, wrote: Hamilton’s photographs have long been at the forefront of the “is it art or pornography?” debate. Glenn Holland, spokesman for the 73-year-old photographer, who lives in St. Tropez, said: “We are deeply saddened and disappointed by this, as David is one of the most successful art photographers the world has ever known. His books have sold millions”.
What’s an opinion from Glenn Holland worth? He specialised in nude photos of girls younger than most of Hamilton’s. Hamilton made him webmaster for his website … until a New Zealand TV program (where Holland comes from) disclosed that Holland had spent two years in an Australian jail for sex crimes against children. So, reading Holland’s passionate pap about “art” and his rants against “conservatives” are just a sick joke. So, do birds of a feather flock together?
PEDRO: You know shit. STFU pls.
ditto. women = hair = real.
Clearly you are not a photographer or aware of crap like PILFERED MAGAZINE and other bullshit. (image theft)
I guess you are new to Hamilton….
