Hey there! Welcome to issue #25, the final issue of 2025! Winter is officially here, and before you know it, it’ll be Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza—a time for family and friends. This month, we’ve got some great editorials for you, plus a timely article. So, let’s take a peek inside this issue.
First up, we have an editorial called “Denim in December” featuring newcomer Yui. It was shot in my old apartment in North Hollywood against a blank wall. I kept it simple because I wanted the viewer to focus on the model and her poses.
Next, we have “Emerald Allure” with Akira. It was shot in studio, also against a blank wall, to focus on the model’s poses with the lingerie and her expressions. The lingerie is the star of this editorial; Honey Birdette.
Next up is “Ready to Sleigh” featuring Lauren in bright red boots and a sheer top. It was shot in an all-white studio with large windows for great natural light. We had shot here earlier that day with the bed in the studio, and I thought the light was so great, so we decided to shoot some with this outfit by the windows.
Now, we have “Wrapped in Bows” with Lindsay. This was shot in an Airbnb in Austin, TX, a few years back. I used to live there, and this was my first trip back. I had shot with her once before in Houston, and we connected to shoot again this time. The lingerie has a naughty holiday feel to it.
Now, let’s dive into our article for this issue! “Nude Modeling in the OnlyFans Era: Redefining Art and Autonomy” is about how the OnlyFans era hasn’t made nude modeling any less amazing; it’s actually made it more accessible. By giving models and photographers the power to create, it opens up a whole new world for artists to explore the body as a place of light, self-discovery, and honesty—one picture at a time.
Following that, Bianca makes a comeback in “Fur for the Frost”. It was shot in a studio setup to look like an old French apartment in cream tones. I thought having the model wear some furs, fake of course, would fit the winter feel of the studio look.
Pastel Snow Bunny” showcases Luci in a stunning studio setting that evokes a charming old-time bedroom, complete with a chandelier. The blue hues beautifully complement the model’s pink gown and dark skin tones.
Then, we have “The Night Isn’t Over” featuring Brooke, our returning model. Photographer Singen captured the scene in a cool, inviting location with a couch and a small disco ball. The moodily lit setting creates a perfect backdrop for a private, late-night New Year’s celebration.
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy Issue#25! Cheers, Jeff Gottlieb (Editor-In-Chief)
