Valentin Braun is a gorgeous Berlin-based model, contemporary dancer and porn star. Suffering from body dysmorphia, he’s said that by being photographed naked he was able to see “what other people could see when they look at me.” (Which in our opinion is 100% gorgeousness.)

He says, “I also want to remind people that there is nothing vulgar or bad about being naked. There is just as much potential to suppress people by making them wear clothing as there is potential of free expression through clothing. By stripping that away, you remain with what is essentially you — naked.”
