Sique Magazine Vol.2 No.20 - 2025 - "Smokin Nudes"

This issue is a celebration of the raw, cinematic, and rebellious energy of artistic photography featuring nude subjects smoking cigarettes.

Throughout the history of photography and cinema, cigarettes have been a powerful visual tool, symbolizing everything from seduction and mystery to rebellion and self-destruction.

From the smoky allure of old Hollywood starlets, the gritty edge of noir antiheroes, or the raw intimacy captured in 20th-century fine art photography - cigarettes in photographic imagery have acted as a timeless visual que in storytelling, adding tension, elegance, or a sense of nonchalance. They often function as an extension of the subject’s personality, emotions, or contribute to the overall visual mood, atmosphere, & narrative.

We invite you to explore this rich visual tradition featured in these pages & the addition they bring to this ongoing visual conversation that blends beauty, defiance, and timeless allure.
