WORKING OUT - PAOLA KUDACKI

Photographs Paola Kudacki - Models Hanne Gaby and Suvi Koponen

Paola Kudacki is one hell of a fashion photographer, her beauty shoots are always eye catching, playful and erotic. I constantly find myself stuck on her photographs in any magazine she is featured. Paola truly knows how to exemplify stellar eyes, lips, nails and any accessory of the moment. These photos are taken from Purple Fashion Magazine Issue #12, below is a behind-the-scene clip of models Hanne Gaby and Suvi Koponen working it out for the camera!
