Venus Rising
New York photographer Aton Ibe Crawley has done just that, in his latest series featuring fellow photographer Anna Bloda. As the first woman Crawley ever shot in the nude, he and Bloda have developed an intimate relationship, in which the photos don't feel exploitative, or even like they're coming from a man's point view; Bloda looks empowered and in control, beautiful and bare—naked, in every sense of the word.
