Junipr Keiko in Desert Dream

Head to the desert with newcomer Junipr Keiko. On location in Joshua Tree, California, Junipr poses atop a single bed for the photographer, Tina Louise. “I’m soft-spoken and introverted. I believe softness is strength, and I lead with love in all that I do,” says Junipr of herself. A model and ... artist, Junipr gives whole self to the creative process. “My art is my passion and my one true love,” she begins. “Through the years, it’s taken many forms, but it’s always a reflection of my heart. It’s the only thing in this world that will ever wholly and completely be mine. Why wouldn’t I give it everything I have?” When it comes to posing nude, Junipr finds there’s so much beauty in showing up confidently and authentically herself. “This is the vessel that I’m fortunate enough to walk through life in, and I couldn’t be more proud of it,” she shares. “Playboy is classic. Being a part of it, especially now that the brand has taken a new inclusive approach to this primarily cookie-cutter industry, is truly an honor. I can’t wait to be a weird old lady who tells people she’s a Bunny.” Stay tuned for more from Junipr Keiko, right here on Playboy Plus!
