Since the advent of photography, the sensual female form has been presented to excess in classically soft black and white portraits. However, Russian erotic photographer Alexey Nikishin reinvents the art form along with the archetypal female figure itself.

Nikisin's ethereal models all possess a candid modesty, as if their ego has been shed during their various states of undress. The finished photographs present an honesty that elevates the seductive grace of these beauties to angelic levels. We spoke with Nikishin through our very poor Russian, and he graciously responded.

Eros Zine: Most of your photos are in black and white. Do you ever shoot in color?

Alexey Nikishin: I do prefer black and white film. Very rarely I shoot using a digital camera, but when I do, the end photos are in color. But it is very rare.

Eros Zine: What's your favorite part of a woman's body and why?

Alexey Nikishin: I have no dear parts! I simply love the body, wholly, as it is.

Eros Zine: Did you grow up in Moscow?

Alexey Nikishin: Yes, I was born and raised in Moscow.

Eros Zine: When did you start shooting photography, and when did you first turn your camera towards the erotic nude?

Alexey Nikishin: I began photography in early 2000, and turned professional in 2006.

Eros Zine: Women are often smoking in your photos. Would you say you have a smoking fetish?

Alexey Nikishin: No. When women smoke, they weaken! But it still often contributes to a good photograph.

Eros Zine: You have so many galleries of different, beautiful women. Where do you meet your models?
