The combination of Danish photographer of the body beautiful Jan Teller and the beautiful body of Fanny Swerkstrom has proved to be an exciting one, and never more so than in the series of nude black and whites they made last year.

Fanny posted one example on her Facebook page knowing full well it could be seen as "offensive" and removed (it wasn't). That's the whole point of posting it, she wrote. Naked skin is almost always only associated with sex, or even shame. It should be hidden, and by exposing it you become an "ATTENTION-hoe", a slut, cheap...

But as a bodybuilder and athlete, the body represents something completely different to me - it is a mission taken very seriously. It is my Temple. The body is so beautiful when it is taken care of, and should be appreciated and respected for the soul living in it, the soul reflected in the external. The soul behind a well-constructed physique.

I am fascinated by my body every single day.



See more of Jan Teller's work with Fanny (and many other beautiful, athletic and muscular women) on his Instagram. Fanny's Instagram seems to have moved or gone, but her Facebook page - though not updated for some time - is still there.

Enjoy!
