When it comes to pictures of naked models, we know there are a lot of people who prefer a tease—a hint of skin, a little flirtation—to all-out exposure: why else are things like burlesque pinups so popular? Usually, if we want to see naked, we want to see ... well, naked, but the appeal of Amenove's black & white nudes is immediately apparent. There's an alluring sense of mystery in these photos, a feeling that there's something more to be revealed just beyond the camera's gaze. Who knew that tasteful closeups of various female body parts could be so sexy? (Though if you have a fetish for things like feet, legs, or spines, you probably know the answer to that question already.)
