Israel
Julie Henderson: “Israel was one of the sexiest shoots I’ve been on. There is something very mysterious about Israel. Being in Israel with gorgeous swimsuits and surrounded by historic ruins made the trip completely surreal.”
Spain
Ariel Meredith: “The sexiest shoot location would have to be Spain. Flamencos dancing in the background while you shoot is pretty sexy! But being in the Bahamas for body painting was the icing on the cake … we were NUDE ... sexy, sexy!”
Zambia
Genevieve Morton: “My sexiest shoot location was in Zambia, because it brought out my wild side and pushed me to limits I didn’t think I could go to. However, Australia also challenged me because it was simple enough to bring about a sex appeal that was raw and new.”
Kaui, Hawaii
Emily DiDonato: “I would say Kauai, Hawaii, because it has a lot of beautiful rural land that meets the water. I shot at the beach and also deep in the forest and it felt really wild and untouched, which I thought was sexy.”
Whitehaven Beach, Australia
Natasha Barnard: “Without a doubt Whitehaven Beach in Australia. We got there by seaplane and I can’t even begin to describe how magical it was. It’s like a deserted island with baby-powder sand and it’s right on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Humidity and wet sand made this shoot really sexy!”
Guilin, China
Jess Gomes: “Guilin, China, was my sexiest shoot to date … it felt so surreal and the light was beautiful and misty. The backdrop was perfection and really gave me the feeling of being a sexy goddess!”
Namibia
Adaora: “My sexiest shoot location was in Namibia. One of the shots involved me wearing a tiny 2-piece bikini in bed, which was situated near the balcony of a tented lodge. The walls were rolled up so I basically had an open backdrop of red sand, swaying brush, magnificent hills, the radiant sun and even a few wildlife! So sexy!”
St. Lucia
Hannah Davis: “Sexiest shoot location had to be St. Lucia. The beaches were stunning and secluded! The pitons made the perfect backdrop! Reminds me of where I grew up in the Virgin Islands.”
Costa Rica
Jessica Perez: “Costa Rica because I was in the rainforest surrounded by everything incredible that nature has to offer, so it was easy to get lost in the moment.”
Zambia
Irina Shayk: “Every year, the locations get sexier and sexier. It was Zambia last year and I had to get wild, handling a cheetah on a leash and surrounded by wild zebras. Shooting in Spain this year, it was a beautiful and steamy 120 degrees. Regardless of the location, you can’t help but feel sexy because all you wear is a small bikini!”
Exuma, Bahamas
Anne V: “The sexiest location I have ever shot in was while body painting in Great Exuma, Bahamas. There’s nothing more beautiful and sexy than miles and miles of the whitest sand, warm turquoise water and the most spectacular sunsets! This paradise definitely brings out your inner beauty and sex appeal.”
