We've heard a lot of talk about how the French are supposed to do it better—but better than what? No matter getting into nuances of interpretation, though: Paris-based photogapher Francois Benveniste certainly does it well enough for us. Benveniste's nude studies of gorgeous, out-of-the-ordinary women beautifully blend seduction with innocence, and also manage to make the edgy (and sometimes mildly gory) incredibly sexy as well. If this is how the French do it, we wouldn't want it any other way.
