Pure Beauty Mag

The outside tour pages of this site are painfully complicated and difficult to navigate. On the preview pages, you’ll find sample photos of the models alongside links to world news articles and even streaming music. It’s all welcome, but just a bit much to digest all at once.

Once you login to the member’s area, it looks just like the outside pages. There are still a million links everywhere and it’s a bit hard to decide where to get started. I clicked on the most recent magazine cover and started to discover photos of some of the prettiest Czech girls I had ever seen.

Pure Beauty Mag uses its cameras to show the nude female body in all its glory. Adolf Zika’s camera caresses the female body and shows off every model’s best assets. Each model’s magazine is filled with photos from one shoot. The number of photos varies from model to model. What you won't find inside the magazines are dud photos. The photos are edited down to the best from the shoot. That means that inside some magazines there will be 12 photos and inside others there will be 60+ photos. Each one of the photos can be viewed at 600, 1000 1800 or 2560 resolution. You can view each photo one-by-one or watch the slideshow that allows you to view every video in the album in hands-free mode.

I do wish sites like Hegre Archives, MET Art, and Galitsin-News would find a new way to present their content. Each one of them presents very similar material and uses the same magazine-cover style to show off their work. The first few times I saw it, the style was unique; but now, no matter who does it, the magazine covers just doesn’t seem innovative anymore.

The Pure Beauty Films section features behind-the-scenes videos of the model photo shoots. While the photography section is great, the videos give you a chance to see how the models move, smile and interact with the photographer. The videos come in large, full-size screen resolution and can be downloaded in several formats — Quicktime (high and low bandwidth), Windows Media Player (high and low bandwidth), and DivX (high and low bandwidth). My sole complaint is that the videos are too short. Most are less than 2 minutes long, and that’s just not long enough to appreciate such exquisite beauty.

The site archives date back to 2004. With daily photo updates and twice monthly video updates, Zika has photographed hundreds of beautiful girls. All of them are Czech girls, and they’re more gorgeous than you can imagine. They all have natural breasts and bodies that range from the very slim to the slightly busty and curvaceous. The locations include a variety of indoor to outdoor scenes; but each shoot has a look all of its own. Zika uses shadows and light to enhance the appearance of every girl's body. The photos are very sexy in the way that elements may be used to highlight a pert nipple or the curves of a woman's butt.

In addition to the impressive photos and videos, there is also a section of this site that serves as an e-zine. There, you’ll find interviews with well-known people in the nude art and glamour photography community and tributes to legendary people in the business. Most of the articles feature European actresses and photographers, and give those of us who don’t live in Europe a chance to familiarize ourselves with talented people that we may not have ever heard of. Some of the articles in the archives feature people like Peter Hegre (photographer), Eva Aichmajerova (model/actress), and Jerry Pasternak (photographer). For even more articles, peek into the “Photo School” where Zika gives away some of the tips and tricks that make his photography so special.

This site also gives you several extras inside the member’s area. Zika provides a bank of free stock photography that you can download and use for anything from advertising to business cards. There is a section called “Unforseen Beauties”, where you get to vote on the photos of amateur girls from the streets of Prague. At the end of the month, the one girl out of five with the most votes gets her own photo shoot which is posted for the members. You’ll also find a forum where members can discuss recent shoots, models, and general photography. Finally, you can download wallpaper for your computer desktop and e-cards created from Zika’s steamy photography.
