50 photography stars in a book about female beauty: "Traumfrauen"

There is a new book on my couch table. It is called "Traumfrauen" and
shows the works of 50 top photographers from around the world. They
describe what they call beautiful, what their relationship with beauty
is and how they see women.

In 2008 the photographs were exhibited in Hamburg's Deichtorhallen:

The book is a heavy 200 pager and comes from Nadine Barth (Author):

Short Film "Love me Tender" by Greg Williams for Agent Provocateur in HD

Movies in HD quality are so enjoyable. Especially when there is a top
model like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the trailer and a director like
Greg Williams http://www.gregfoto.com/ behind it.

Not new, but still one of the best underwear trailers I have seen so
far. Filmed for the exclusive label "Agent Provocateur":

Girls and Dreams: Polaroid Pics by Matt Schwartz

Various dreamy polaroids of girls from the past, nice atmosphere in the
photographs. They are for sale (exceed my personal budget but nice
reviewing the photos anyway).

Once more: Focus on tushy (Reebok Commercial)

Just because I have posted two videos recently where butt is all that
counts. Here's another one - this time a commercial from Reebok for
their new shoes. They have an air pad in the back of the sole which is
supposed to flex your muscles and support shaping the tushy.

Last night they showed on Heidi Klum's Germany's Next Top Model that
they were selecting one of these year's girls for this specific
commercial. And yes, she sure has a fit bum:

Girl Friday: Close-Ups of Oreintha Russell photographed in Jamaica (First Magazine)

Jam

Thank God, it's Friday. I like the idea of Jamaican Magazin "First" to
call out a Girl Friday. Fore someone like me who resides in Europe the
photos (also the series from the past months) have a warm exotic touch.

Check out the Close-Ups and other shots from Jamaica:

Thousands of tumblr blogs: Some funny pictures (not always creditted though)

Sw

There are thousands of photo blogs out there showing a huge collection
of photographs to more or less specific themes. It is sad to see that
many of the bloggers don't give credits to the images. The swimsuit
issue blog tries to give sources but - let's face it - tumblr credits
("found on the internet") are often worth nothing.

I hope that some day more people will be more respectful with promoting
other's work.

Focus on the behind: Look by Sébastien Tellier (Music video)

A female bottom, tushie, bum, fanny, bootie - hell, there are many words
for it - seems to be some sort of inspiration. Here's another music
video focussing on nothing else than buttocks:

Nude Photography by French Photographer Michael Rumiz

Mk

Southern France is a beautiful spot on Earth. French Photographer
Michael Rumiz is placing his models there - in nature, yachts or in
villas. All high class, often shot with a wide-angle and always black
and white.

Blush Dessous: A neat underwear store in the center of Berlin

In May I am having a shooting in Berlin. Thinking of that the Blush
Lingerie store just came to my mind. I have been there many times and
bought accessoires and underwear for my shootings.

The store is small and neat but somehow nice to visit. I just visited
their website for the first time and - funny enough - the main model on
their website is Lia May, the model I worked with plenty of times
before. She is a lovely model.

Maybe you have heard of Blush before. Their advertising is great.
Actually you can tell that some agencies seem to like the materia they
advertise for. Here is a video from last winter:
