CULO may be one of the best coffee table books ever created. The book, by Raphael Mazzucco celebrates the back side of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Alessandra Ambrosio, Kate Upton, Fergie, and Lady Gaga are just a few of the models and celebrities featured. The best part, you can buy this book on Amazon.

"The World Is No Longer Flat

Culo is an art, fashion, and pop-culture movement that defies all national, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. No matter if you were raised to call it derriere, tush, rear end, or booty, culo is the new epicenter of female sexuality, desire, and empowerment.

Over the past decade, some of the world’s most celebrated women have subtly shifted our long-held ideals of physical perfection toward a shape that is more authentic and bold. While culo has long been venerated in certain cultures, it is now becoming the object of worldwide mainstream admiration. This emerging global love affair with culo is as much about the blending of African, Latin, European, and Asian beauty as it is about celebrating the female form’s most coveted asset.

Culo by Mazzucco pays tribute to this phenomenon through a singular artistic vision. In more than 200 photographs and artworks created on location around the world, a diverse group of women—some already legendary, some about to become so—embody the spirit of culo and the start of a new era of beauty."

Amazing series by photographer and graphic artist Jorge Aragon. The series was shot for Ben Trovato and features the beautiful Lux Valladolid at CODE.

Levon Baghramyan, aka Levonity, is a specialist in nude art photography. His photos explore the nude female form along with various geometric shapes. His subjects are often contorted in ways that create visually interesting images.

Michael Dweck's Mermaids Under series is a maginificent series. It explores women in their most natural form interacting with the water surrounding them imitating the lives of mermaids.  You can read a lovely synopsis of the series or you can purchase the book online. He also has a related series called Mermaids Over. If you get a chance, check out his entire portfolio.

Davis Ayer shows off light projection art at its finest. We've seen light projection photography in Projection Art, A Matter of Time, and Enigma of Plaid, but this is the first time I've seen it featured for the sake of art instead of fashion. In each shot, Davis masterfully blends the projections with the woman's body and turns them into pieces of art. Don't forget to check out the rest of Davis' photos on Flickr. He has some more great work there.
