Sports Illustrated has put their entire 2012 swimsuit edition online and the pictures of the models are beyond spectacular. From Kate Upton just about falling out of her tiny top, to Natalie Gulbis wearing nothing but body paint that's created to look like a teeny tiny bikini, these women are gorgeous.
Check out this year’s models here on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Natalie Gulbis and Natalie Coughlin are probably two of the more fascinating photos because the swimsuits they're wearing are nothing more than body paint. You have to look closely to see the artist’s fantastic body painting creations because they look so much like real swimsuits. These are some optical illusions that really fool the eye!
Kate Upton, who made the cover of the Sports Illustration for this swimsuit edition, was “airbrushed,” claims Yahoo Sports, but isn’t that the norm for most magazines?
Years ago before the computer generated techniques were available for tweaking the pictures of the models; lighting techniques and a mesh over the camera lens was just about all the photographers had to work with when shooting a picture.
Today they can change anything from the facial features to their body parts using the computer. Many of the beautiful women seen in photography today got a lot of help from computers before their pictures graced the pages and covers.
Windsor, Connecticut native Adaora Akubilo, is one of the 18 models appearing in the 2012 swimsuit edition of the Sports Illustrated. According to NBC Connecticut, her pictures were taken by the famous Sports Illustrated photographer, Walter Iooss, Jr, on the beaches of the northern shore of Australia in Cairns, Queensland.
