#SENDNUDES–An uncensored celebration
Location: Extreme Wow Suite of W Hotel Amsterdam
Photography by Kubilay Altintas.
On Monday night, our latest publication #SENDNUDES got the celebration it deserved: a playful and sexy evening in the Extreme Wow Suite at W Hotel Amsterdam.
Special thanks to The Duchess and The Entourage Group, Filling Pieces Sound Systems and $ha-G, for making this a book launch unlike any other.
The speech
MENDO's Gunifort Uwambaga and #SENDNUDES curator Iman Whitfield had the honour. Most important part: "But hey, we won't bother you any longer. Have a drink. Enjoy."
In collaboration with Iman Whitfield, MENDO reached out to photographers all over the world and asked them to send their favorite shots of female sensuality and intimacy. The result is a visually stunning photo collection approaching erotic photography from a female point of view, celebrating the diversity of female beauty and body confidence, and teasing the delicate line between that which is revealed and that which remains private.
#SENDNUDES is a visually stunning book by MENDO and teNeues, that approaches erotic photography from a female point of view. In collaboration with Iman Whitfield, MENDO reached out to photographers all over the world for their favorite shots of female sensuality and intimacy.
