[Natalie Nattis | ph. Robert Voltaire]

In the words of Robert Voltaire:

When you were young you remember seeing a portrait of a topless woman on the beach.

The photograph was taken on the French Riviera.

The woman in the picture was obviously beautiful, but there was more to her than that.

Yes, she was topless and as a young man that did not go unnoticed.

But there was something else.  Something that you would carry with you in your subconscious mind for many years.  It was a seed planted in your mind before you knew you would become a photographer.

An idea.

You would ask yourself: why aren’t American woman allowed to be topless on the beach?

The photo represented freedom.  

She was an independent spirit who didn’t give her nudity a second thought.

And she shouldn’t have.  There was nothing indecent or immoral about it.

That image has never left you.

That summery elegance. 

Their secret connection.

Unrestricted.

They say if a photographer falls in love with a model she will live forever.
