I just love flickr.com. There are so many great groups. Asian Girls, Asian Beauty, Asian Idols & Models, Sexy Asian Women, Asian Cuties, Hot Japanese girls, Girls of Japan, Eastern Beauty, Beautiful Almond Eyes and many more. Use the Group search page and see what else is out there. I can spend hours browsing through the great (and also not so great ;-)) photos.

I just found another group: Portraits of Japanese Women.

Today I typed in “Human Body Art” in Chinese (人体艺术 for those of you who can see the characters. My apologies to those of you who cannot.) into several search engines here and maxed out my two gigabytes of RAM pretty fast with open windows.

Body art is usually a euphemism used here for erotica so it can slip by the censors and into mainstream bookstores and onto Internet sites. And am I ever glad that the authorities seem to like this photography as much as I do. I found one great cache of hundreds of pictures at Nphoto.net.

I located several artists and models I really appreciated and hope to be able to share with you in posts to come like chjilin above andChina has an abundance of gifted photographers and, of course, no shortage of beautiful subjects:

I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like: it is craftmanship like that in the picture above by Chinese photographer Yang, Huiguang and others featured at China’s cphoto.net. It is a premier site for established and respected shutter junkies in the Middle Kingdom. I will be mining this site for you because there is something there for every taste by hundreds of photographic chefs.

The Chinese Dragon is often thought of as a symbol of the Chinese race itself. Chinese around the world, often speak of themselves as “Descendents of the Dragon”. Dragons aren’t slain by white knights in China because they are considered divine, mythical creatures that bring prosperity and good luck.

It seems to me that the dragon in the pic’ has all the luck–and the damsel doesn’t look too distressed.The site is rich with tradition as well as modern experimental work. It is one of my favorite places to invest a few hours of cruise time.

On flickrbabes.com I found this great series by Steven Young (although I am not sure Steven actually is the photographer, he may just be placing ad-campaigns!), a team of gorgeous Asian women playing soccer. And the photography/artwork is just stunning! I hope the photographer doesn’t mind me placing (almost) the whole set in More, because Flickr seems to be offline a lot lately (‘having a massage’ as they prefer to call it ;-)) and I wouldn’t want you to miss this! I should recommend of course that you visit Steven Young’s flickr pages and enjoy all of the great photo’s. There is a lot more there!

Ohw, can anyone stranslate the Chinese (or Japanese?) text on the photo’s? Maybe it will shed some light on this photoshoot.

UPDATE: These photo’s bacame very hot in just a few days! Numerous blogs mentioned them but according to Santini it all started here on this Chinese Esquire blog.

Okay, I admit, I am a flickr addict. So after my previous post about Peter Klashort, I now present to you Kialy. She is a Chinese girl from France who tries to find different ways to express herself. Photography is one of these. She hasn’t got a bunch of models, so she works with herself. Well, we don’t mind, do we? 😉 Check out her self-portraits.

Dutch painter Peter Klashorst used to travel (and live) in Africa and make nude paintings of all the girls he met there. He became intimite with quite a few also 😉 He had a real reputation for taking big risks in that department. The ‘delicate muslim’ situation there did not allow him to continue his ‘Artwork’ (he was even imprisoned once and escaped!). So now he recides in Thailand. And he is taking pictures also this time. Check out his girls at his flickr account. He also has a blog. More nude pictures there.
