Photography by Mikhail Shishov

We don't pretend to know a whole lot about Russian culture, but the nation does seem to turn out a healthy amount of erotic photographers with a knack for capturing hot babes on film. We think it might have something to do with the long winters and copious amounts of vodka. (Told you we didn't know much about Russia.) Mikhail Shishov—or Michael, if you prefer the Western bowdlerization of his name—lives in Moscow and shoots more than just nude girls, but he's clearly at home snapping topless models with that natural, yet slightly exotic look. There may be political struggles, language barriers and two or three oceans between our nations, but it's our shared love of beautiful women that always manages to bridge the gap.
