“Best Kept Secret” by Anais Demois
Many of Anais Demois’ photo series tend to emphasize the surroundings over the model, preferring to highlight the way in which the curves of nature accentuate the curves of her feminine subject. Not so in this series. In “Best Kept Secret” Anais takes his model front and center and shows us all of her, and the results are revolutionary and thrilling, to say the least. In this series we are introduced to a secret all of us want to know!
The model in this shoot is a mix of wild and innocent. Her blonde hair flows freely, and somewhat disheveled, over her shoulders. Her eyes are piercing and hot. Her red lips are smiling subtly, as if she has secrets to tell. Her make-up is somewhat heavy, giving her the air of a rave girl or glamour princess. But best of all is her see-thru silk gown. Maybe what lies under the gown is the secret…
The most thrilling part about Demois work here is the way in which he gets the model’s personality – as mysterious, voluptuous, and precocious as it seems – to shine thru the photos. There is a sparkle, an ebullience to this model, that makes you feel as if she would definitely be a good time. She poses in a wide variety of ways, showing off her body like a new present. She also artfully pulls her shirt down or up in all the right spots, giving air to her private under parts.
Demois has not thrown away all his old tricks to make this series, however, for the model in question still blends in quite evocatively and erotically with her natural surroundings. The surroundings here seem to be a southern clime, rich with thick trees and abandoned huts. There is, in other words, a savage quality to the region, and the feral, feline aspect of the model contributes and is enhanced by this quality. She seems like the kind of wild woman a stranded sailor would love to see walk out of the jungle.
The series culminates with some beautiful shots of the model posing on the porch of a house. She perches in the window like a cat, turning her back, raising her backside in the air, nimbly showing off her secrets. This series is a real treat, for the secrets are good to see. Thanks be to Demois for another great piece of art!
