Maartje van Noort by Russell Pearson for Playboy Netherlands September 2024

Enjoying the heat is Playboy Netherlands’ Miss September 2024, Maartje van Noort. Taking a dip as the photographer, Russell Pearson, captures her, Maartje tells us about herself and the set, which happens to be on the island she now calls home, Bali. “I pursue my goals with a lot of passion and ambition. In my eyes, Playboy stands for playfulness and sexy energy,” she shares. “When I used to see the Playmates of the Playboy Mansion on TV, I always thought about how elegant they were.” Maartje loves posing nude. “Being naked is liberating for me. Without clothes, I feel connected to the earth. When I’m on vacation, I walk around naked most of the time,” she laughs. “By wearing nothing, you can feel comfortable in your own skin. Posing in front of the camera and working with the right light is also an art in itself. I find photography fascinating!” Stay tuned for more International Playboy galleries, coming soon!
