have asked it before, and I'll ask it again: What is it about the Czech Republic and beautiful women? No one knows, and no one's complaining!

I was very excited about my first photo session with Melisa. I had wanted to photograph her for a long time. I felt that she would be a fantastic match for Torrid Art. But our schedules never worked out until finally I got lucky, or I should say we all got lucky.

Melisa is experienced, mature and passionate - a very sexy combination of beauty and strength. Her poses are naturally expressive and immensely stimulating.

For Melisa's softer than gallery, left, she begins by wearing a beautiful, flowered, summer dress - the kind that looks very feminine, yet accentuates strong, athletic bodies like Melisa's. I set the background a little darker than normal thinking it would match her sultry appearance.
