What makes a person attractive? (preview)

Of course, most of the young beautiful girls that appear as sensual models in my photography have quite perfect bodies, although I try not to photograph only those girls that comply with my personal taste (very slim but round, hairy, long-haired, girlish...) and am open to try to portray any kind of beauty even if it doesn't fit in the stereotypes.

Mira is best friend of one of my very young models who was talking to her about me and my photography, quite enthusiastic, obviously. So a few days ago (when the local government still allowed to "travel" from one town the the next) a very nice and happy young woman appeared here. 

She was a bit shy while she told me that already very early she had two children - twins - and that she quite suffers a bit especially because the skin of her belly never recovered from the pregnancy and her quite big bosom has lost the perfect shape it had before. She'd love to have the belly skin corrected surgically, but, of course, for a normal young woman in Spain such a cosmetic operation is far away from her financial possibilities. 

While she undressed she expressed her hope that one wouldn't see those imperfections in the final images, but I explained her that I don't do any retouching on bodily properties of my models, but that I will try to portray her happy, natural beauty in a natural way without trying to hide what is.

Yesterday I sent her the images per whatsapp and was a bit afraid that she wouldn't be happy with them because, although photographed with a carefully adjusted light, the images show everything. She immediately answered very excited: "I know I am not perfect, but I love the photos!". 

In fact, if she would have reacted negatively I wouldn't have published her images here. I know that it's hard when your body doesn't conform with your feelings: I, for example, feel something like 35, 40 years old inside, but my body is the body of a man of 63 (in a few days :-) ) and especially when I see myself nakedly aside of one of the young girls that sometimes share their lovely desires with me, the contrast between their wonderful bodies with perfect skin and my not so fresh appearance kind of hurts and I use to say that I am grateful, that there exist girls with a bad taste in choosing their playfellows... 

So I can empathize a bit that it must be even harder when the changes of a body occur in a very short time. Even more this lovely young woman gained my respect for having the courage to show herself openly despite of the physical imperfections. 

It should be a completely normal thing and not even worth mentioning it, because in the end it is not the perfect shape of a breast, the inviolacy of the skin or the age that makes a person attractive and lovable, but what is "inside" of a human. On the other hand, in a world, where only the filtered happiness of Instagram exists and beauty is a matter of superficial impression it is indeed a sign of courage when you dare to be yourself just as you are.

I hope you'll like the images of this series (for "Motivation"-level and up)!
