Photos by João de Castro

João de Castro's stark yet sensuous black and white photos of finely toned models leave us somewhat at a loss for words: these simple but beautiful portraits capture women as themselves, at ease, relaxed ... and, uh. naked, of course. There's not a whole more to it than that, but for some reason we can't stop flipping through this particular gallery. (There are others on the site as well, of varying degrees of naughtiness.) Perhaps it's better if we just stop talking now and let the images speak for themselves. Just this once though. We do have to earn our paychecks, after all.
