I did promise you some inspiration, though, and so far it's only been me babbling on... Let's get started!
1 - Call Girl by Glen Flower
From the title, you’d expect something a little more audacious to live up to what we know as a call girl. This photo stands out by going against that predictable notion and taking a more playful tone by use of bright colors and lighting, an eye-catching pattern of characters and a simple yet effective pose.

2 - Nude 2 by Andy Hassall
The first thing that draws my eye to this photo is the glow around the woman’s figure. Not only is it flattering to accentuate the curves, more importantly it adds an ethereal story to the image. Soft and delicate is a woman...

3 - Lonely by canarinomannaro
I stop and stare at him as he drags me into his downbeat air. The composition makes you feel like you're actually there looking into his room. The grains and the black and white do nothing but complement.

4 - Desnudo Simple by Alberto Ibarra Glez
There's something pure, innocent, and powerful about this nude; the model isn't without flaws, and the shot itself isn't perfect either - but that's where the beauty comes from. The relaxed pose and the peaceful look means it doesn't really matter. A lovely example of the nude photography genre indeed!

5 - Day 235: Scar Beneath the Surface. by Brigid Marz
The fear of reality is the attraction of this shot. Wet hair suggests vulnerability. Parted lips infer loss of breath and words. The hand on her breast declares a longing for comfort.

6 - Untitled by Jenn
There is a serene beauty when you look at this woman. The pose is almost heartbreaking as she stares out the window and the light soflty hits her skin and her surroundings. The only color in the room is the pink flowers on the wall, which implies that the subject is not sad, but only hushed.

7 - H.E.A.T by Nausika Bongard-Bonjour
Raw is the word. It is only human to feel heat and the artist has created a "real" representation of this. Her treatment speaks of grit by having the close appearance of an instamatic or polaroid camera. The ice is not foreign either whether we'd like to admit it or not.

8 - Bathtub racer by Jaybird
The fun use of lines and color in the composition reminds me of when we were kids. The way our imagination worked during moments of lull is what the image captures - just proof that even as adults, our imagination still runs away with us.

9 - Spiderwoman by Rod Monkey
The minimalism of this nude is an effective delight. I can't help but enjoy the pose - the model on her tiptoes and the bones of her shoulders make the shot and help us appreciate the supple human body.

10 - Varina & Jiz by Maxwell Lander
I'll be frank with you: There's nothing attractive about this photo; but that's also not the point. It has raw emotion, and a veritable overload of attitude, passion, and even a touch of anger. Bloody awesome work. The rest of Maxwell's work is worth a peek as well; he's one of those photographers who is able to surprise me (in good ways) rather consistently.

11 - Grow by Meta-morphosis
The artist attempts to portray power and strength, that which is intrinsic in a stripped down "real" man. Roots of a tree as a metaphor to the latter are elementally strong and able to withstand nature's (maybe even all) challenges.

12 - Untitled by Yami Ya
The photo is haunting as the model's spine presses against her skin. The peculiar spine is what catches the viewer's eye and arrests them to linger on nothing else. The mood is solidified by the predominant grey tones.

13 - 112/365 by Lys
The image emits a whimsical feel to its viewers. The different hands clutching the woman's back can be interpreted in many different ways and perhaps different emotions. For example: the hand with red nail polish represents lust by use of color and the hand's slightly stronger grip on the skin.

14 - No heels, no shirt, no skirt...All im in is just skin...All I want to see you in is just skin. by Lauren
The model's eyes hold the power of this shot. You stare at her as she stares back at you with a brutal sense of honesty. This shot seems simple, but it's far from it when beyond the eyes you start to notice the curious shape of the body, the flaws of the skin and the odd proportions. I guess it's like looking in the mirror.

15 - Tina Nude by Haje Jan Kamps
I did a photo shoot with Tina many years ago, in 2003; I loved the innocence that shone through in many of her photos. A few years later, she became a glamour model - but I like to think that it was these shots that got the ball rolling (It probably wasn't...)

16 - Untitled by Marko Matus
There are so many things one can say about this photo. The texture is lovely. The light adds depth. Your eyes can fool you - it takes a while to notice what you're really looking at in this photo. This nude is brilliant and unique (and maybe even painful).

17 - Morning by LightDream 7
The warm subdued colors give the photo a Sunday morning vibe. The mood is lazy and grateful as you think about the weekend. What makes this photo real is the detail of the hair on the model's buttocks, the light that hits the crack perfectly and the little bokkeh beside it. Wonderfully lethargic!

18 - Miriam by Vanesa Martínez
The photo is simple - evenly lit, portrait composition with an unexaggerated model, but it tells a very accurate story about the coming of age. Emo, open plaid shirt, lip ring and killer bangs - this nude proves to be the perfect image of a youthful relatable tale.

19 - Geisa by Flor
The earthiness of this capture is soothing to the eyes. You can't help but admire the warmth of the brown that predominates the scene. It plays upon nuances, leading your eyes firstly to the stomach, then to the breast, then the curls of her hair, finally landing on her very powerful face.

20 - Sunshine in the Water by Andreas Müller
This is an enjoyably light-hearted nude. An offshoot from the expression "the sun shines out your ass," the photo deserves recognition for successfully providing humor to its viewers by using the human form. Smooth lines are an added element to the visual appeal of the photo.
