The time constraints imposed by the MetArt HD erotic movie format present both a challenge and an opportunity. Directors sometimes struggle to fill the short span of time, occasionally recycling footage shot over their shoulders during a still photo session. Others rely excessively on the prop closet in an effort to create visual interest. But the masters of this very specific type of film making know how to transfer the beauty of MetArt erotic still photography into the moving picture format in ways that are both surprising and satisfying.

In “Athena” the artist Koenart employs a stylish, painterly still photographer’s eye, and deftly combines it with a cinematographer’s sense of pace, atmosphere, and movement. The result is moody, evocative, engaging, and accomplished. There are moments here, still images — headshots, figure studies, explicit close-ups — that would shine in a MetArt gallery. And yet they are perfectly integrated in a smoothly flowing, seamless, lyrical visual continuum. The soundtrack was also particularly well chosen, contributing much to the flavor and pace of the production.

But Koenart, as gifted as he is, didn’t create “Athena” by himself! The artist is nothing without his muse, and here his subject, his star, is the film’s center, its subject, its reason for being. I was privileged to evaluate Diana G’s MetArt debut (also shot by Koenart) and she impressed me with her confidence, her beauty, and her lithe, limber physicality. Everything that moved me about Diana G back then is present and on display in “Athena.”

“Athena” is not flashy or theatrical. It’s quiet, moody, intriguing, and subtly involving. It is more than a collection of beautiful erotic images and it is far greater than a simple video tape of a lovely nude model. In so many ways “Athena” shows us just how beautiful a MetArt HD erotic movie can be. See it for yourself and please feel free to share your own reactions in the comments, below.

The MetArt story is inextricably connected to the evolution of digital technology. We pioneered the online digital erotic art photography marketplace, and we’ve embraced every meaningful technological advance — whether it was multi-mega-pixel imagery, HD video, or streaming technologies — in our content as well as in the features and user interface of the site itself. Now that MetArt has grown into the MetArt Network, an expanding family of premium quality erotic sites, our ability to harness and employ the latest technological developments is more important than ever.

It is in this spirit of ongoing technical advancement that the MetArt Network has become the first adult entertainment company to accept the revolutionary digital currency bitcoin.

Bitcoin, the first widely circulated and accepted digital currency, has the potential to completely revolutionize ecommerce on a global level. The MetArt Network made the decision to accept bitcoin for a variety of reasons, but chief among these are the benefits the new payment method offers our members. Bitcoin offers unparalleled levels of anonymity, confidentiality, and protection to the consumer. Customers who would prefer not to use personal bank accounts, checks, or credit or debit cards can now purchase site memberships with the safety and security of digital currency.

While payments in bitcoin provide MetArt Network customers with a secure and convenient alternative payment method, bitcoins also pack a lot of bang for the buck (bang for the bitcoin?) because monthly memberships in all the MetArt Network sites are currently offered at a half-off discount for those who pay with the cryptocurrency. For a newfangled payment method that’s old fashioned value.

Whether you choose to purchase your MetArt Network access with bitcoin or any of the other methods offered, MetArt’s embrace of the cyber cash proves, once again, the company’s dedication to constant and ongoing improvement of our products and commitment to providing the highest level of service to our customers.

I never get tired of Lily C. From the first time I set eyes on her, in her very first MetArt nude pictorial, to my most recent exposure, when I reviewed one of her MetArt HD erotic movie performances, I’ve been hooked. This is the eighth post I’ve written about her, and that’s only a fraction of the 24 titles in her MetArt portfolio.

And Lily C hasn’t gone unnoticed by the MetArt membership at large. As I write she’s sitting in the forth position at Top Models, and her newest pictorial, “Sentido,” can only help expand her popularity.

Luca Helios takes a simple approach to this series. For the bulk of the collection Lily C poses on a concrete slab overlooking the ocean. I imagine that working with a model as beautiful, charming, and photogenic makes the artist’s job not only easier but also more pleasurable. My primary quibble with the photographer’s work here is his tendency to tilt the camera. With two strong, parallel horizontal lines in nearly every shot (the edge of the slab and the far horizon) the tilting frames create an unnatural and unneeded woozy effect. Another minor problem, which Lily C takes in her unflappable stride, is that the slab is splattered with seagull guano. But, throughout, despite these gripes, Lily C delivers another stunning performance.

What a body this young woman is blessed with! And it’s not simply the perfect lines and flawless proportions — Lily C radiates a vigorous, physical vitality that Helios captures beautifully in this series. Two shots among many — #013 and #025 — both standing, capture that stunning physique to stirring effect.

Explicit images are also offered in reasonable numbers. With the model on all fours, backside to the camera, we’re treated to detail shots (#073), sculptural figure studies (#072), along with engaging, spirited, seductive invitations (#071). In “Sentido” Lily C is an erotic eyeful as well as being her usual, loveable, justifiably popular self. In #099, totally nude but concealing the naughty bits with crossed arms and legs, the wind plays in her long hair and Lily C shoots a beguiling smile directly at the camera. The beauty and personality captured in this single image perfectly explains why I never get tired of Lily C.

I wrote a post about this model’s first MetArt pictorial, and I liked it very, very much. Now she returns for her second gallery, with a whole new look. And her appearance isn’t the only thing new in “Spirales,” as it is the first contribution by the photographer Vladimiroff.

I will take a guess and assume that the set’s title refers to the printed pattern of the wallpaper in the room in which the set was shot. It’s got vertically arranged curling lines in black and silver against a white field — a bold and modern design. It is somewhat busy, however, and when one considers the paisley pattern of Varya A‘s sexy dress, the stylized zebra print of some throw pillows, and another geometric motif on her shoes, it’s a lot of graphic detail for a photographer to deal with. To his credit, Vladimiroff somehow creates a pleasing harmony.

Varya A is in a long bedroom. Deep in the dark end of the room sits a bed. Between bed and window is a long, low, leather sofa, where the model spends all of her time. The lighting here is somewhat tricky. The room is quite bright where the sun shines in. And quite dim in the shadows. This results in shots that are moody and evocative, and a few that, in my opinion, are simply underexposed. These compromised images are easy to ignore, however, because when Vladimiroff captures both lighting extremes — as he does in #042 and #052 — the results are particularly pretty.

Varya A has changed her appearance considerably since her debut. Her long, not-exactly-natural red hair is now shorter, curlier, and colored a more natural dark auburn shade. And she may have put on a couple of pounds, not at all a bad thing as it has simply made her body a pleasing touch more voluptuous. Vladimiroff has included a commendable variety of compositions in “Spirales,” some of my favorites include: #014, a moody fully clothed shot with lots of leg; #034 pretty torso and headshot; and #068 for the way it captures the curves and contours of Varya A’s shapely physique. The first time for this photographer, and the second time for this model, results in a good time for the viewer.

After looking at over a hundred well-crafted photographs of a totally nude woman I’ve usually drawn some conclusions about her emotions and other aspects of her personality. In “Levha” Angelique A struck me as a strong, playful, and extremely sexual woman. But it was only after reading her bio — and discovering that she is only an 18-year-old — that I realized how young she is. It certainly came as a surprise — this is no mere teenybopper! For a girl this young to project such a fully formed, completely sincere, rich, ripe, and mature sexuality is truly striking.

And I think it goes beyond Angelique A‘s glamorous appearance — her dark hair, dark eyes, and luscious lips in particular — or the ornate décor of the bedroom Arkisi shot her in. This young woman has a quality — a sultry, sexy quality — that comes from within. And is it ever a pleasure to experience!

This is only Angelique’s second MetArt erotic photo set (she’s also appeared in a MetArt HD erotic movie), and while her performance here leaves nothing to be desired, there is also certainly room for her to grow and blossom as a model. And she certainly gives Arkisi plenty to work with. The artist, as is his practice, captures his subject in a broad range of poses and delivers carefully composed detail shots along the way. Intimate, explicit close-ups are provided in generous numbers, but then so are beautiful headshots (#013, #036, and #067 are three fine examples). There’s a simplicity bordering on the poetic in #007, a detail shot of Angelique’s round ass flanked by her delicate hands as she removes her scant g-string. And there’s a confident and clever artist at work in shots like #050, with the model seated centrally on the bed and facing the camera, and #109, an explicit variation on that image, in which Angelique’s rear aspect (as well as her steamy personality) is featured. In “Levha,” beautiful, sexy Angelique A is so very young, and so very sultry — and those are two factors that make this pictorial so enjoyable!
