Yu Tsai

In the fourth installment of our largely successful series "Yu (Tsai) and Me," our famed photographer is bringing you never-before-seen images of the one and only Emily Ratajkowski.

A highly sought-after fashion photographer, Yu Tsai, one of the world's top fashion photographers, is known for his work with SI Swimsuit, as well as other top-tier publications like Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire andinternational versions of Vogue and Flaunt. Showcasing the girls you already love, styled by some of the industry's best, he's capturing their beauty in a new light. And the results couldn't be more spectacular.

Emily, on the other hand, is best known for, well, EVERYTHING. Remember her infamous appearance in the music video for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines"? Or how about her countless editorial appearances in high-fashion glossies and her film debut in Ben Affleck's Gone Girl? Emily is a woman of many, many talents.

And in this exquisite collaboration with Yu Tsai, Emily proves that she can look radiant in just about anything—or little-to-nothing at all.

"Emily has a body made by heaven with sharp smarts to match," photographer Yu Tsai told Swim Daily. "There are no hesitations in her process to create an amazing image. In this YU+ME series, I wanted my lens to capture Emily in both fashion and her raw natural sexiness."
