Nearly-Naked Gisele Poses With a Bunch of Naked Black Men, Raises Questions of Race

Posted by Emily Farris

Norwegian fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø recently shot a series with supermodel Gisele Bündchen surrounded by very buff, very naked black men. The contrast in skin tones is striking, but are we supposed to read more into it?

As one commenter over at Project Rungay said: "wow, those photos are fierce. can't tell if the guys are her slaves or if they're raping her. interesting race dialogue. the first photo is super sexy."

What do you think? Have a look and let us know in the comments section.

That first pic reminds me of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.

They aren't raping her and they aren't her slaves. You know what they're doing? They're posing. That's what models do.

And I for one am bitterly disappointed she isn't naked.

These photos were a challenge for the photographer.  Real contrast in skin tones and from my experience difficult to deal with.  Love the images, but as Geebee commented, a disappointment she wasn’t a nude as the male models.

I like the shots, doesn't look like they're her slaves OR that they're intending to violate her in anyway.

They look, if anything, as if they worship her, and quite possibly, she them in the way she tugs on that one guys ear.

I like how 4 of them are lifting her when in reality one of those guys pinky fingers could fling her a 100 yards! Giselle secretly likes black guys and always raises there race question with her shoots; if you recall the Lebron James shoot.

It would have to be a fucking racist to say such a comment. They either had to be her slaves or raping her because they're black???? If it was a group of white men, that comment would have never came out your filthy mouth.

Lets see, if it was a black woman and a group of white men, the question would have been 'Is she the slave or the whore?' right? You fucking assholes need to drop off the face of the earth.

Great photo series but, it would have been better if she were also naked to really show the beauty of skin contrast and the human form together.
