Envisioned by Kanye and primarily starring Kim, they're the images that raised eyebrows when they were released online earlier this month.

And now, yet another snap from the shoot, which took place in rural northern France in March, has emerged – although this time, the shot is a coveted, behind-the-screen one which did not end up being published.

Proving every bit as delectable as its predecessors, the more recent photograph offers a further candid glimpse of the highly-stylised concept – which was driven by Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West.

Most importantly for her many fans, it appears to show Kim Kardashian's globally-famous bum in all its unairbrushed glory.

She can be viewed crouching on her hands and knees as she climbs a mound of earth on the sprawlling Château d’Ambleville estate.

On the day, the 34-year-old reality TV star had worn a nude-coloured body-suit, gold bra, black stockings and suede lace-up boots.

Behind – and occasionally in front of – the camera was famed German photographer Juergen Teller.

He appeared in short navy-hued shorts and a warm red jacket in some of the shots. Meanwhile, Mr West can also be seen in further images.

The pictures were taken for a special pull-out supplement in System magazine, a publication previously little heard of outside France.

Mr Teller, 51, is well-known for snapping a host of high-profile names and faces. He has also held numerous exhibitions around the world, and often mans designer label adverts.
