WHAT better way for a Miranda Kerr to show that she's moved on from Orlando Bloom than by posing for a sultry photo shoot.

Even better, a racy pictorial shot by none other than the infamous fashion shutterbug, Terry Richardson.

The photos are trademark Richardson, and feature a barely-clad Kerr against a stark white backdrop.

The saucy pics can be seen in the January/February 2014 issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia, and are accompanied by an equally revealing interview with Kerr in which she opens about her split with Pirates of Caribbean star Orlando Bloom and the couple’s two-year-old son, Flynn.

“It’s difficult for anyone to go through a separation, whether it’s on a public scale or not,” the model said.

“It was important for us long-term to preserve our friendship and the dynamic of being loving parents to Flynn so we dealt with everything openly and honestly.”

The couple announced their decision to separate after three years of marriage in October.
