French Affair

Playmate Clédia Fortin is a total smokeshow in this set from photographer Ana Dias. Tall and slender, with chocolate-brown hair, black eyes and full lips, Clédia is a whole lot of woman. On location in a beautiful summer villa, she feels relaxed and liberated. “The mood was very calm and fluid, which allowed me to be totally comfortable with my body. That’s exactly what I needed to be able to show who I am and to create authentic images,” she reveals. Posing poolside with some retro technology like an old school cell phone, television, and a Polaroid camera, Clédia is indeed as authentic as can be.
A lover of art, nature and music, this 22 year old French model can be seen in fashion magazines the world over. When she is not posing for a camera, she’ll likely be playing the piano or cello for her friends. “Music is a real wealth and plays an obvious role in regulating our emotions, so if I can share this with others, I am the most fulfilled,” Clédia says.
“Posing nude is liberating and nudity, in my opinion, is the purest expression of beauty. I find that there is nothing more beautiful than a raw, natural naked woman,” she says. Be sure to check out Clédia’s sensual sophistication, right here.

Embrace the summer heat with the international Playboy model Naomi Nash. Effortlessly soaking up the sun, lounging in the sand, and feeling the salty Atlantic Ocean on her skin, Naomi shared her day with the lens of the photographer Ana Dias. To say Naomi is breathtaking would be an understatement. Tall and dark-skinned, with full lips and a God-given flawless body—you can’t miss Naomi regardless of where you spot her. “I’m introverted, quiet and reserved but I like to think that I’m also super fun—you just have to get to know me,” she begins. “I have profound emotional responses to music, art and nature. And I happily lose myself in daydreams, inventing all sorts of stories and conversations in my mind.” Despite her shyness, Naomi is a bold model whose portfolio speaks for itself. “I’ve already achieved most of the goals and ambitions I had for my career as a nude artist. Being in Playboy was the pinnacle,” shares the 22 years old model. “I was eager to work with Ana Dias for quite a while, so shooting with her was definitely a dream come true. She is not only a sensational photographer, but also an easy-going, friendly and pure empathetic soul.”
Originally from Yaoundé, Cameroon, and now based in Lyon, France, Naomi has always been passionate about nudity. “I love to pose nude. I mainly pose nude for myself. I think it’s the most pleasant way that I have found to express my extrovert side and to take care of my mental health,” she says. “Having a photographer like Ana who appreciates who I am and who is able to transform my body and my personality into art is what makes posing nude empowering and invigorating for me”.
