“Presenting” Kamilah A — lovely, lively, likeable…

Kamilah A: Presenting, by Arkisi, 19-year-old new nude modelPersonality is important. It can make an ordinary girl irresistible, and it can transform a true beauty into a star. But capturing personality with a camera isn’t easy. It takes technical skill on the photographer’s part, certainly, but it also requires sensitivity. A gifted artist has the unique skills required to put a model at ease and then create an environment in which she feels free to express herself fully.

19-year-old Kamilah A has personality, and plenty of it. And in “Presenting,” her first nude photo gallery for MetArt, that lively, energetic, and vixenish personality is on full display. It doesn’t matter if she is totally nude and boldly displaying herself in explicit poses, or if she’s demurely positioned in more modest images, Kamilah A projects an abundant and extremely engaging personality. And when a girl this physically appealing has such an attractive personality it’s impossible not to love her.

Models can be difficult. They can be moody, temperamental, irritable and even combative. But in these beautiful photographs by the artist Arkisi this model is at ease, engaged, animated, and projects pure enjoyment. I could be wrong, but I can’t help but feel that Arkisi and Kamilah A enjoyed every minute of this photo session — and that sense of fun and positive energy is present in nearly every frame of the series.

The set design and minimal costuming are thoughtful and stylish, the lighting unobtrusive, the photographer takes care to include a wide variety of compositions, and the model is free to display different aspects of her personality as well as a range of poses and moods. “Presenting” Kamilah A is both an extremely impressive new model debut, and a polished demonstration of the erotic photographer’s art. A girl this pretty, with a personality this pleasing, is a most welcome addition to MetArt, and I look forward to seeing much more of her in the future.

“Presenting” Marga A — a pleasant premiere performance…

Marga A: Presenting, by Arkisi, first nudes of a new MetArt model

Even though it happens with dazzling regularity, the first appearance by a new model in her debut MetArt erotic photo gallery is something I never grow tired of. A new set by a favorite established model is always welcome, of course. But there’s a unique thrill that comes with discovering fresh talent – it’s really one of the highlights of MetArt membership.

Arkisi has done quite a fine job showcasing this new model. Here the artist employs a light touch. The costuming is simple and classical, the lighting soft and indirect, and the compositions varied — we’re treated to everything from stylish, painterly figure studies to explicit intimate close-ups that reveal every anatomical detail.

And the subject of these photos, Marga A, is as warm, charming, and at ease as one could possibly imagine. If these are, indeed, her first nude photos, Marga A is to be praised for her engaging and uninhibited performance.

While Marga A certainly has many striking physical attributes, it’s her energy and cheerful confidence that I find most appealing in “Presenting.” And her green eyes — animated by that energy and illuminated by her personality — are exceptional.

Favorites? I’ll start with #006, a figure study, on her tiptoes, against a rustic wall, skirt raised, eyes averted. Arkisi is at his painterly best in #025, a moody shot of a single hand on her beautiful butt. #026, of the model’s back, her face in profile, boasts a similar quiet artistry. Marga A’s eyes and face are the stars of #085. And in #111, spread out on the hardwood floor, artist and model create another stylish figure study helping make “Presenting” Marga A a pleasant premiere performance.

“Presenting” Valeri B — country road curves and cuteness…

Valeri B: Presenting, by Matiss, MetArt model's nude debut pixA seldom traveled road in the remote and picturesque countryside provides the setting for this first-time MetArt model’s debut. Wearing nothing more than a necklace, sheer black panties, and a pair of flashy stiletto heeled platforms, Valeri B’s premiere opens with a series of bold and impressive images. If there was any traffic on this desolate road it would certainly come to a screeching halt at the sight of this curvaceous blonde.

Matiss positions Valerie B in soft shadow for the bulk of the images here, but the natural light allows for full revelation of her physical details while the background — verdant hills and craggy white peaks backed by vivid blue sky — is bathed in bright sunlight. The model’s shoes, in particular, add a bit of stripperish glamour that may be slightly out of place in the rustic location, but the result is ultimately satisfying.

Valeri B has an attractive energy and her performance here is confident and relaxed. She does seem to be enjoying the experience, and if these are her first nudes one can’t help but be impressed by her natural ease in front of the camera. She’s impressive physically, as well, with a body that mixes plush curves with an underlying strength and athleticism.

Presenting” Valeri B offers a wide variety of poses and compositions. Intimate close-ups are balanced by an assortment of headshots, and at the end of the set Valeri B appears in a little black mini-dress — even fully clothed this new MetArt model is unquestionably sexy.

“Presenting” Mika B – baring means sharing…

Mika B: Presenting, by Catherine, 19-year-old beauty in first nudesWhen a beautiful young woman decides to pose for erotic art photos in the nude she deserves our respect, admiration, and gratitude. Appearing totally nude in the digital age means that those images will be seen by millions of people, all around the world, and will be accessible and available for countless years to come.

Mika B — a 19-year-old first time MetArt model — has made this weighty decision, and she’s placed herself in the sensitive and capable hands of a female photographer, frequent and respected contributor Catherine.

I’m quite accustomed to giving new models a little leeway with their debut efforts. There are certain skills that only come with practice and experience, so I don’t expect a new model to perform at the same level as a model with dozens of sets in her portfolio. And in virtually every way — physical and emotional — Mika B’s debut is impressive. She has a great shape, lean but curvy, and her pert breasts and stiff nipples are tantalizing. Her face, framed by long, straight brown hair is also appealing — here she’s made up in an understated style, but I suspect she could also excel with a more polished, sophisticated cosmetic treatment.

And Catherine‘s design and execution of the series is pleasing, as well. The indoor setting, the soft, even lighting, and the colors selected all flatter the model, and there’s plenty of variety in terms of poses and compositions. One thing that is missing, however — and I blame both artist and subject — are any truly explicit images. As I suggest in this post’s title, baring means sharing, and when a nude model is as pleasing as Mika B, viewers expect her to share everything. There are a couple of shots of Mika’s beautiful behind, and details can be seen in the shadows, but these few glimpses only whet the appetite.

There are numerous beautiful images, thoughtful poses, and artfully framed photos in “Presenting,” but I wish Mika B hadn’t held back. When I come to a totally nude shot like #102, in which the model is seated, one leg resting on a nearby table, her other foot folded under, thighs parted, with one hand raised to her hair, the other one hiding her intimate bits, all I can think of saying is: “Mika, please move that beautiful hand!” I certainly hope she chooses to bare all and share all in future offerings — I very much like what I see here, I just want to see the rest!

“Presenting” Sarah Luvv — newcomer shoots newcomer…

Sarah Luvv: Presenting, by Holly Randall, new MetArt model and photogIn the world of erotic photography and video she’s a member of a legendary dynasty. Her mother, Suze Randall, is a pioneer of erotica having worked as a fashion and nude model, photographer, producer and director of soft and hardcore films in a career spanning 35 years. Her father, Humphry Knipe, is an author, a writer/director of XXX videos during the genre’s 1980s heyday, and an erotic website administrator. But while Holly Randall has a well-established reputation of her own in the family business, she’s only recently become a MetArt contributing photographer — this is her second MetArt erotic photo gallery.

I have no idea whether Mr. or Mrs. Luvv have any experience in the adult entertainment industry, but their daughter, Sarah Luvv, has embarked on a modeling career, and this set marks her debut as a MetArt model.

While the Randall women — mother and daughter — may be best known for shooting glamorous women in a glamorous style, Sarah Luvv is something of a girl-next-door type. Randall has come up with a treatment that is flattering to the model as well as a showcase for her own technical and stylistic talents.

Luvv is nude throughout. She’s posing in the shallow water at the edge of a grotto style swimming pool in a lushly landscaped backyard that very much evokes a tropical island setting. Sarah Luvv looks quite at home here, and seems at ease in front of the camera, as well. An introductory shot like #003 not only captures Luvv’s pert attributes and warm demeanor, it also demonstrates Randall’s deft lighting — and I do like the way the diffused background evokes an untamed jungle setting. There are explicit shots here, as well as shots that showcase the model’s big, brown eyes — #042 offers a bit of both. In #059 we find a beautifully posed and composed pin-up. And in #087 and #088 photographer and model create two wonderful headshots, the first eyes closed, the second eyes open. “Presenting” shows great promise for artist and model, alike.

“Presenting” Patsy A — no holding back…

Patsy A: Presenting, by Rylsky, new MetArt model's explicit debutMetArt contributor Rylsky is among the most prolific artists on the roster. He’s so prolific that he recently launched his own eponymous site on the MetArt Network, RylskyArt.com. But this gifted photographer isn’t simply productive, he’s also extremely versatile and is constantly experimenting with new styles and approaches to his projects. Indoor, outdoor, stylized, naturalistic, complex, or simple, Rylsky is always trying something new and different, and here he does just that with a new model.

“Presenting” Patsy A brings to mind two other MetArt photographers. The simple set design and lighting scheme recalls Alex Sironi, and I say that in the most complimentary way. He’s draped a large piece of white, semi-sheer fabric over a low chair and positioned it against a soft, white backdrop — clean and simple. Likewise, he’s dressed Patsy A in just one item — a cream colored crocheted sweater that both conceals and reveals at the same time. But there are also echoes of another erotic stylist here, and that’s Tony Murano. You won’t find the moody, nocturnal, candlelit theatricality Murano so often employs, but the explicit images — and they are abundant — that Rylsky has created here have a similar bold, vivid, almost lurid, quality that fans of Mr. Murano’s work will recognize — and, I expect, thoroughly enjoy.

For a first time model to eagerly pose for so many powerfully erotic and explicit photos speaks both to her confidence and strong sense of self. There are models who will never appear in so many bold and revealing images over the course of a career, so I can only praise Patsy A‘s willingness to commit herself so completely in her erotic photography debut.

You might have guessed that my favorites in this series are explicit images, and you’re at least partially right. Shots like #041 and #042 glisten with erotic energy, for example. And the close-up #114 has a powerful “you are there” quality I relish. But there are demure images, and fine ones, in the collection, as well. There’s a quiet, still beauty in #008, a non-nude. #027, a tame but tempting rear view with an over-the-shoulder glance, is enhanced by the black & white treatment. Patsy A’s graceful, shapely body is beautifully presented in #105. There’s a painterly, dreamy quality to #111. And towards the end of “Presenting,” we find #115, a casual yet confident pose and a simple and effective composition.

“Presenting” Candy A — made in the shades…

Candy A: Presenting, by Matiss, glamorous beauty, sexy outdoor nudes

Have you ever been out driving with a “special” friend when the mood unexpectedly turned amorous? If you and your companion were adventurous types you might have found yourselves looking for an appropriate place to share some alfresco intimacy, a place that offered enough privacy to alleviate inhibitions while still providing the potential thrill of unsuspecting strangers catching a glimpse of your impromptu tryst.

There’s a bit of that flavor in this erotic gallery, Candy A’s premiere appearance at MetArt. While her outfit is cute and sexy, her strappy high heel sandals tell you that this leggy blonde wasn’t planning on a wilderness trek this sunny afternoon. And yet, there she is, posing against a stone wall hidden from the cars that may well be passing on the roadway above. Candy A has a glamorous, film star look that is amplified by the large, dramatic sunglasses she wears in the first few dozen images. Normally I’d object, but she wears them well and it is bright and sunshiny in this rustic hideaway.

There’s a posey/fashiony feel to much of this series, but the style Matiss employs here works well with Candy’s presentation. When I learn from her bio that she’s a budding actress I’m not in the least bit surprised. She has a bright, lively energy and a ready smile, and in a shot like #106 where she smiling broadly and perhaps even laughing out loud it gives a down-to-earth feel to an otherwise elegant and stylishly posed photograph.

Presenting” Candy A may be slightly lacking in explicit, detailed imagery, but the artist has done a fine job of capturing her beauty, personality, and energetic spirit. I can certainly picture Candy A in a highly stylized studio session, and I do hope we’ll have an opportunity to see this new model in more sophisticated surroundings in the near future.

“Presenting” Varya A — happy to be here…

Varya A: Presenting, by Goncharov, first MetArt nudes of a happy honey

I’ve critiqued MetArt new model debut sets in which the first-timer appeared slightly unsure or tentative in her performance. I’ve also seen pictorials of new models that were bold and confident. But, without going back through hundreds of pages of notes, I can’t recall a first-time MetArt model radiating such pure happiness and enjoyment in her premiere series as Varya A does here.

And I don’t mean to say that Varya A has simply locked her lips in a smile and kept it in place for the duration of the pictorial — no, indeed! This is a very expressive young woman and I think her looks will work in a wide variety of settings and styles. But this playful, cheerful quality animates and elevates her performance in ways that are simply a pleasure to witness.

Goncharov has given Varya A just one piece of clothing, a sheer, ruffled blouse in a bright shade of pink. At first I wasn’t sure if it worked with the model’s coloring, particularly her red hair, but in the end I felt it was a perfect choice — it’s sexy, flattering, and Varya seems to enjoy working with it to achieve various looks. And the handful of images where the blouse is nowhere in sight pale in comparison to the rest of the gallery — to repeat, a perfect choice.

Although there are detail shots, explicit shots, and a variety of poses offered in “Presenting,” four of my favorite images in the collection are variations on the same general theme. In #012, sitting, knees together, feet apart, blouse open, Varya purses her lips and regards the camera — I’m intrigued. In #015 she adjusts her pose, lowers her chin, and grins impishly. Another change of pose, in #023, and a more muted, but no less intriguing facial expression. For #041 she stands, bold and confident, hair pulled back, fully exposed, while displaying warmth and playful charm along with her considerable beauty. Yes, Varya A looks happy in many of these shots, and I think a lot of MetArt members are going to be very happy that she’s decided to appear here.

“Presenting” Lia K — this teasing is pleasing…

Lia K: Presenting, by Michael Kotoff, MetArt HD erotic movie

I feel as if I’ve been commenting on a lot of new models lately, and that happens to be the case today, as well. And the subject of today’s post isn’t only a new model, it was directed by a new contributing artist, Michael Kotoff, so I have the pleasure of evaluating a double-debut. That fact, alone, is notable, but this debut is also unusual in that it is a MetArt HD erotic movie, rather than the far more prevalent still photo sets. This calls to mind the relatively recent arrival of director Platon Averin who, seemingly, only shoots motion pictures. I don’t know if Michael Kotoff will follow that pattern or if he will also be contributing still sets in the future, but I think most MetArt members would agree that the more talented filmmakers we have on the roster, the better.

Of course the same can be said of beautiful new models, and Lia K certainly fills that bill. The only remotely critical comment I can make about her is that her performance reveals a slight lack of experience in front of the camera. But experience can be gained, skills can be developed, and Lia K’s debut is totally engaging and thoroughly charming.

The action takes place on a leather sofa and in front of a picture window. Lia starts out in a short dress over a lacy white bra and panties set and sky-high platform heels. Those sexy shoes never come off, and the rest of her ensemble is removed, piece by piece, and very slowly. Tease plays a major role in “Presenting,” and Michael Kotoff‘s dynamic, agile camera and creative direction and editing heighten anticipation as Lia K tempts the lens. It takes nearly three minutes before the model is topless, but those three minutes — over a third of the film’s running time — are completely enjoyable.

Some viewers will, no doubt, be disappointed in the absence of explicit close-ups, but I’m willing to forgive this omission. Not only is this a young model’s MetArt debut, it’s also the director’s first contribution, and he may be been erring on the side of caution and discretion for his premiere performance. I’m doubly impressed — by both artist and model — and look forward to seeing more from the creator and star of “Presenting” Lia K.

“Presenting” Yarina A — yet another newbie…

Yarina A: Presenting, by Goncharov, real beauty in trompe l'oeil room

The influx of fresh talent into the MetArt model talent pool continues unabated. Among the more recent arrivals we find Yarina A, a leggy, auburn-haired, 19-year-old newcomer from Ukraine.

This is a casual, off-the-cuff effort from contributing photographer Goncharov. There’s little, if any, attention to art direction, props, costuming, thematic content, or any technical complexity. This stripped-down, no-frills presentation doesn’t distract attention from the model and he captures her in enough different poses and compositions to allow the viewer to get a complete look at Yarina’s physical attributes as well as developing some sense of her modeling abilities.

The most distracting element of the set is the background. Yarina A poses in an arched doorway. The arch has been painted, in trompe l’oeil fashion, to resemble a brick masonry column complete with clinging vines. Another wall, this one with an actual (as opposed to virtual) mirror, is also painted in a stonework pattern. The main wall in the background is pale blue sky dotted with wispy clouds and soaring birds. It’s an unusual setting, to be sure, but I’m not certain it adds much to the collection. Still, at its most effective, in shots like #024 and #025, the mixture of actual, reflected, and fake elements is intriguing.

My favorite images from the series tend to be those that minimize the background and fill the frame with Yarina A. This young model — she’s only 19 — has a great shape and I suspect she may have some training in dance, or at least her posing suggests this. There’s virtually no background at all in #051, a headshot captured while Yarina is supine on the floor, and it’s a standout in “Presenting.” The model has a relaxed, natural countenance in #058, a shot that also conveys the sculptural elegance of her belly and hips. And while the background is somewhat cluttered in #073, it’s still lovely figure study of a truly lovely figure.
