Why do girls shoot naked
Text: Lilya Brainis
Naked human body gradually becoming a tool - a model for artists, a canvas for actionists or canvas for body art. At the same time, nudity is beginning to be realized in a new way by girls - for them it can become a way to cope with uncertainty and complexes, as well as a test of courage. Lilya Brainis asked the girls about the shootings in the frank videos and shared her own story.

For me, there is nothing to show a beautiful naked body. My task is to convey my inner feeling as much as possible in a short period of time. Unlike photography, the video allows you to see the movement, live a little with the person. Shooting a naked body - this is primarily an observation, the search for the most interesting. We have no task to embellish a person and make him unrecognizable. We remove the portrait, so the same person is in the video and in life.
We recently filmed a video with director Pasha Ruminov and his girlfriend. In the process, I shot exactly the faces, because the most interesting thing was to watch the eyes change before, during and after. How do men and women change when they know all the buttons of another, when everything is familiar and dear? Sexuality of gaze and gait is inseparable from the shape of the chest or ass. This is a complex of attractive features that make up a portrait, and for me it is important to show them a little bit. It is difficult to evaluate everything at once, so I make accents, telling with the help of body parts about how a person might have behaved, exposing himself in his personal life.
Intimacy - it is to wake up with the person with whom you made love, to walk freely and spin
It is impossible to reach intimacy by building barriers of clothing. However, having undressed, it is impossible to automatically overcome the barrier. You can have sex in complete darkness, not allowing yourself to consider. In the morning, run to the shower, stooping and grabbing the first available rag. Intimacy is to wake up with a person with whom you made love, and freely go around, whirl, go to the shower, get out naked and bring him a cup of coffee to bed. And let him see you. Intimacy and sexuality are one level of freedom. Sexuality is freedom that we allow ourselves or do not allow.
Sexuality arises at the stage of intention. When you have not undressed or even hinted that she was ready. At the moment when you only realized it. At this point, the behavior changes. In your head you have already reached the end and this is sexuality. "Sexuality" in the video is desire. We do not want to cause rectilinear reactions with our rollers. We have a big noble goal - to awaken in the viewer a vague, unclear excitement, like a good mood or interest.
Each girl in our project is a chapter in the story that any person carries the charge of sexuality and desire. Therefore, we remove not only models or actresses, but ordinary people. We are important to their portrait, individual behavior, which is sexy and erotic. You just need to learn to see it.
Masha Shpilina, filmed a home video with a boyfriend
I think the idea of making a home video is in the air for any couple. And the extent to which people accept it depends on the degree of their openness, curiosity and trust towards each other. The camera is a safe observer, and the observation of the process adds to its completeness. Without a camera and without viewing during sex, you can only focus on your feelings. From this comes a certain perception of yourself and your body. Thanks to the video, there is a chance to track emotions, to understand what is happening to you in the process. See on the screen how the movements and composition reflect relationships, emotions and breathing. The video allows you to look from the side and relate the picture with the experienced sensations. It gives knowledge about oneself, one’s limits and boundaries.
In general, it excites not only the shooting, but also the presentiment: while you are looking for a tripod, you put the camera and focus. When an idea came to our mind, we realized it without thinking. I even found a remote control somewhere. And these few minutes of preparation are very exciting. Watch video together - a separate buzz. We turned on the video as soon as we finished, and this is an incomparable sensation. On the one hand, for all my experiences, like: "Oh, what a fold!" - Immediately you get the feedback that the fold and you are absolutely beautiful. Secondly, this again creates excitement - and the process starts again.
An important condition for home shooting is not to show anyone the video.
An important condition for home shooting is not to show anyone the video. For me it was important that the videos and photos remained with me. I would not want them to be found. However, this is partly dictated by the mentality. For example, a young man from Argentina did not understand what was terrible if someone else saw our photos. Their culture is more open and focused on pleasure, and in our cultural code, “living with pleasure” does not exist. And even many men do not know how to enjoy. The Argentinian on the first day of our acquaintance struck me that, for no reason at all, he suddenly started talking about group sex. I tried to turn on a good girl from Russia, but he looked at me with bewilderment, saying that such swinger clubs are a normal place to relax on Friday.
Interest in the video disappears when the relationship ends. Being in a relationship, I reviewed it a couple of times, but now it is lost somewhere in the depths of my computer. Now I don’t really need a camera. It is interesting for me to go to the next stage, for example, for someone to watch. No matter who. Just the thought itself is very exciting.

“Seem or be?”, Once formulated by psychologist Erich Fromm, has been worrying me for a very long time. All these retouched bodies of models and actresses have created such an unattainable ideal of beauty that it is almost impossible to become the same as they are. Forever young, forever beautiful and everywhere.
I remember very well at what point I realized that I also wanted to shoot naked. Not possessing either a beautiful breast or a flat stomach, I was always a little shy of my body. When I realized that the doubts about my own femininity and attractiveness were off scale, I asked my girlfriend to make a beautiful video in which I could undress. I needed a documentary confirmation that I was beautiful and desirable, that my body was a beauty. And so we made a video. Oddly enough, the goal was not achieved. After the release of the video, I did not feel more desirable or more beautiful. After reviewing the video after months, I think that it is, of course, wonderful and I’m even there, but everything is a hoax. Because my body was imperfect as it was, it still remains. And as I doubted my own ability to arouse and feel the desire, I doubt it.
Video is a beautiful picture in which with the help of the right light and perspective any model can seem beautiful and even sexy.
After the shooting, I asked other girls who shoot and shoot, why they need it and what it gives. And in reflecting their opinions, I seem to have begun to find my own. On the one hand, the video is a beautiful picture in which, with the help of the right light and perspective, any model can seem beautiful and even sexy. But in order to be like this, something else is needed. At least to me.
