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...
Also, if you want to follow Shay, her awesome Twitter page is right here.
too bad every single shot is ruined with washed out colors and over exposure… if you wanted to do something real, why not use a more natural light?
WOW I had already come to the conclusion that her beauty lived up to the legend…. but #19 just sealed the deal on her epic hotness. GREAT PICTORIAL, Chica. And as always, thanks for sharing it Chive.

Great photo set! It's wonderful (and unfortunately refreshing) to see a real, unaltered, beautiful woman.
Having said that, I have just one complaint intended for the photographer: If you know that you're going into a photo shoot in which (for whatever reason) you will be unable to retouch the photos afterwards, much greater care should be taken to prevent sensor dust from becoming an issue. On several of the photos above, the same nasty smudge appears in the same image location, sometimes over Shay's skin. People generally have enough beautiful and interesting skin features; we don't need our cameras adding more. I always keep an air blower in my camera bag, as well as a set of sensor wipes and cleaner, just in case. If it's going to be critical and you have a moment, it's easy enough to shoot a medium exposure of a wall very closeup, with focus set to infinity and a tight aperture, which makes any sensor dust that is already present stand out on close inspection of the image (even if you're just zooming and panning on the cameras lcd). Hope this helps! An otherwise great photo set! Keep up the great work!
Mmm, this is a great case study for the benefits of "photoshop"
She has arm hair, tits too far apart, bruises showing, and a nose like a builder's elbow!
Srlsy, in the pantheon of hot women that exist on the internet, you have overrated this one to its apex!
Shay Maria is the perfect definition of true, pure beauty. "Fixing" things with photoshop would only flaw and distort her perfection
camera phone?
WHORE!!!!WHORE!!!!!Here comes the whore named SHAY!!!!
[...] Even more Shay Maria sans Photoshop. [...]
Flaws? What flaws? I see no flaws….
I would take her to dinner, make her laugh, and actually call her again.
In other words, DAMN.
