Not long ago, Shay Maria came to theCHIVE offices for her first photoshoot. I hadn't yet told her about my plan to present her final pictorial without photoshop, I was happy enough we'd lured the elusive internet vixen into shooting with us in the first place.
Halfway though her first shoot I finally told her about my plan to leave all photos as-is. Shay thought about it a bit and finally replied, "I hate photoshop, I always have. I'm nervous about my flaws but at least they'll see the real me. Go for it."
To date, Shay Maria's first shoot has been viewed nearly 10 million times. Today we present Part II of Shay Maria. I think you're gonna' like what you're about to see. Shay asked me to, "Thank the shit out of the Chivers for being so damn kind the first time around."
Enjoy...

My god, you've discovered a flaw! A faint, almost imperceptible line most likely from a childhood bike wreck or something similar. Somebody sound the alarm!
I loved these. She’s beautiful and brave. And hot as hell.
Now I understand why they use Photoshop so much. Even a girl as super hot as Shay has some "imperfections". Thanks to high definition photography, everyone is made to feel self conscious.
Anyone else think that stretchmarks on a girl like this is sexy?

Iconic!
I FUCKING LOVE your tat. It's pretty kick ass.
way to turn it up to eleven
Thank You…….Natural is much better. Beautiful
I admire the lack of photoshop I guess, but the photographer clearly overexposed the photos with this in mind
And this is bad….how? She's beautiful!
Who are you trying to kid with this "without photoshop" business? Just because they didn't photoshop out some of the cellulite on her legs here and there doesn't mean these weren't shopped. Also, just because they used some other post editing software doesn't mean shit. This is shopped. Look at this broad's face. C'mon. Stop it.
[...] Even more Shay Maria sans Photoshop. [...]
too old to use a pedobear costume
Awesome. Just awesome!
its possible that they weren't retouched in photoshop but the color and contrast was pushed too far in some photos. her skin is too orange/yellow with slightly blown [hehe] highlights. this was possibly done in…photoshop–specifically the camera raw panel. photoshopped [the verb] is now only synonymous with retouching? what about color and lighting manipulation? still photoshopped. Sincerely, a photoshop geek.
i would f*ck her until my dick disintegrated.
fuck photoshop! awesomely beautiful, more more more! i love those minor imperfections, it makes her perfect details even more desirable. wonderful photographic balance. just wow.
If you're not gonna retouch em, you should use a filter, or better lighting. Poor girl looks like she has jaundice!
There's a Pedobear that I can get behind!
