Astrud A ‘Perastico‘ by Rylsky
It has been a long time — too long! — since I’ve had the pleasure of viewing an Astrud A Met Art erotic photo series. I reviewed her Met Art debut and thoroughly enjoyed it — you’ll find my comments here. The set I’ve just examined is in many ways the opposite of that first set — will Astrud A succeed in such a different setting?
The short answer is “yes.” And that’s as much a tribute to Astrud’s beauty and charm as it is to the artist who crafted both pictorials. When Rylsky shot her first set it was outdoors, with natural light, and Astrud A was nearly nude from the very first shot. Now he’s moved indoors, to a stately, dark, luxurious bedroom with heavy drapes, rich fabrics, and moody shadows. And he’s dressed the winsome and willowy Brazilian beauty in a subtly sexy lingerie ensemble. While Astrud’s MetArt debut was relaxed and natural, in “Perastico” we find her in a far more stylized and formal environment.
The two sets are as different as night and day, and yet they are equally satisfying. Astrud A is gifted not only with physical beauty, but with real emotional depth and a wide expressive range. She does an admirable job of tailoring her mood to the nocturnal feeling and hushed elegance of her setting. But there’s also an undercurrent of giddy unpredictability. She can shift effortlessly from the somber drama of a shot like #021, to the gleeful natural beauty on display in #042 or #062.
Astrud’s natural vitality adds real spark and substance to Rylsky’s moody set design and technical approach to “Perastico.” I get the unmistakable sense that model and artist quite enjoyed their collaboration — there’s no question that I did, as well.
