In a visual encomium to pure glamour, you need more than a little polish and just a little less than too much perfection. By that I mean your model – ideally proportioned, desirably sultry, dripping in just enough diamonds – should still feel like a woman and not a doll. Roxana is woman. Antonio Barrella’s black and white shoot for Bambi Magazine nets in luxury’s…

Raw passion and fiery sensuality aren’t easy things to manufacture in a staged situation, but Davide Ambroggio’s images for Bambi Magazine manage to ignite them with such force they risk setting your screen on fire. Carmen – like the titular gypsy at the center of Bizet’s famous opera – is alight, and able to hold any man in her thrall. She is the strength that…

You know that old line: Location, location, location. It can be as true for photoshoots as for where to pop up the latest Starbucks franchise. Location matters, but so, too, does making the absolute best use of it. In some unnamed hotel space that pits opulent furnishings against sanded back hardwood floors and provincial cabinets, Yves Kortum’s shoot for Bambi Magazine issue XVI brings the…

Horses are salt-soaked muscles with rising veins, iron and leather and pounding hooves, deep chests harnessed in surrender and restraint. At other times they’re the gentle sum of wide, quiet eyes and soft feathery manes, the nudge of a wet nose and the eagerness for company. It’s no wonder we can equate the noble creature equally to fetish or to femininity, as does the styling…

They’re just a little bit unreal – these girls, these dolls. One’s a tin soldier in towering heels, a ballerina in barely-there tulle. One’s a racoon warrior in a metal mask, a jewellery box figurine. Their skin shines like wax, and their hair ignores gravity by moulding into architectural waves. You might even say these two beauties defy categorisation all together as, far from being…

Nothing can hold back a woman who makes it her ultimate purpose to seduce and conquer. Not when she look as impossibly beautiful as Charlie Dupont and especially not when knowing for sure that what lies underneath her sophisticated clothes is bound to leave one breathless. Photographed by Stef P, the glamour girl with a soft spot for seduction is the one you’ll find impossible…

Those quiet mornings spent unhurried at home – with the scent of the warm coffee slowly filling the emptiness of the rooms – gain an effortless sensuality under Stefano Brunesci‘s direction, to whom those few precious hours at dawn seem like the perfect time to get lost in a fantasy. With the hair rollers on, a shirt thrown over ever so casually, and a house…

While there are many ways to praise the human body, aesthetically speaking of course, few of those ways manage to actually elevate the naked silhouette for it to eventually be perceived as a work of art. Celebrating the purest form of beauty in a manner that is less driven to emphasize its sexual undertone, choosing instead a rather poetic direction, Tak Takei‘s photography is the kind…

It’s not about the desire to shock anymore, not since the bondage element has long morphed into a full statement of luxury, instead the modern fetishism is more about allowing sensuality to break new grounds, without fully abandoning the taste of forbiddance. Chokers, fishnets, thigh-high stockings and leather harnesses met Sidney Bristow’s androgynous beauty as photographed by Yves Kortum for Bambi Magazine, in a successful…

Every photographer who embarks upon a black and white nude shoot does so with their own vision, leaving no two entirely alike. Alex Covo’s photo series featuring model Alianna Gilbert is distinguished in part by the comfortable mundaneness of the settings: there’s something just so beautiful in the homeliness of a kitchen shot, where Gilbert sits topless, hair casually flicked over, a closed macbook in…
