“100 Naked Woman” Displays The Power Of Naked Women And Naked Women

Art is supposed to be powerful. Art is supposed to be strong, honest, and leave a lasting impression. London-based artist Nadia Lee Cohen has created a series of pictures that's using one of the strongest, honest, and powerful things you can photograph: nude women.  

The collection of photographs is entitled 100 Naked Woman. The high glossed, highly styled images are pretty specular. They women in the pictures almost look unreal. Yet, they are.  

"The female form has always fascinated me and featured predominantly in my work; therefore, it was important for me to embark upon a project that allowed me to explore this in its entirety,"

"I started shooting ‘100 Naked Women’ mainly because I am female and know how liberating it feels to have a strong nude photograph."

The photos are ranged from kind of funny to slightly odd to just plain sexy. It is almost as if these women would fade into the background if they weren’t nude. There is something pretty cool in that.  

"I wanted to offer this experience to the real women around me who I respect and admire for their confidence and individuality,"

Though, I don’t know if Cohen was intentional in this, but looking through the few photos posted it seems like Cohen is showing what defines beauty through time. Two in particular stood at to me, the Marilyn Monroe-ish one and the dark haired beauty with tan lines, each beautiful, but beautiful in ways that are particular to a certain period. 

There are few things more powerful than a nude woman. If you don’t believe so, think about all the things you would do to see a beautiful naked woman, and all the things you would do to keep seeing her nude.
