What does it mean to be a girl? What is femininity? Is it a value? A connotation? A lesson to learn? An innate characteristic? Photographer Bettina Rheims with the project “Like a Woman” shows us one of the many faces of femininity, the erotic one. And she portrays him as a woman in the moment immediately following her orgasm.

A proof that the female orgasm exists, for all those who were asked and failed to make their woman happy. In fact, not only does it exist, it’s wonderful.

These photos of faces and bodies taken away from enjoyment and taken from the perspective of a lover are proof of this. Proof that sex can be shown in a pure way, giving space and dignity to its beauty and power.

The red face, the lines left by the lingerie that tightens a bit, the hair out of proportion, the face upset…what a beautiful way to be a girl.
