Irina Ionesco




Where does one draw the line between child pornography and art?
Pictured above are beautiful, beautiful photos of Eva Ionesco at age 11, taken by Irina Ionesco who happens to be one of the photographers I look up to.
At the tender age of 5, Eva was her mother’s favorite model. She is the youngest model ever to appear in a Playboy nude pictorial, since she was featured at age 11 in the October 1976 issue of the Italian edition of the magazine in a set by Bourboulon. Irina’s erotic photographs of her daughter have been a source of controversy since they first appeared in the 1970s. A selection of which were featured in the November 1978 issue of the Spanish edition of Penthouse.
