Chantelle A ‘Violett‘ by Rylsky
He could have traveled to a dramatic location – a mysterious forest, a wave-lashed beach, a craggy mountain top. He might also have painstakingly constructed an elaborate set and decorated his studio with a profusion of props, furnishings and fabrics. And Rylsky, an experienced photographic artist if ever there was one, could have crafted this set in a palatial private residence, positioning his subject against a backdrop of plush, ornate, elegance.
No, no, and no! Here the artist strips things down to the very basics and achieves excellence through sheer simplicity leavened with skilled creativity. “Violett” may not have much in the way of fancy, fussy art direction — the lighting is direct, flattering, and effective, but far from dramatic. And he hasn’t resorted to visual tricks or technical gimmickry. Rylsky has worked erotic photographic magic here by including one special ingredient – and it’s known as Chantelle A.
I’ve reviewed three of Chantelle’s galleries (count ‘em: one, two, and three), and she has impressed me mightily in every one of them. This model is physically delightful, that much is plain. But she radiates such a bright, beautiful, beguiling personality that it’s almost overwhelming. And here, on Rylsky’s simple light purple seamless backdrop, there’s nothing to distract from her perfect beauty and powerfully disarming persona.
As you might imagine, trying to pick favorites out of a pictorial like “Violett” isn’t easy. It’s a big set, for one thing. And it contains a lot of variety. In the vast bulk of the collection Chantelle A is completely nude, although she does appear in a rather modest bikini in a handful of shots at the end of the series. And her moods are every bit as varied as her poses — and her poses are extremely varied! She’s giddy, she’s serious, she’s silly, she’s sultry. She’s relaxed, intense, thoughtful, playful, impulsive, and composed. I’m going to limit myself to three images. #011, nothing fancy here, just a perfectly beautiful girl, with a splendid body, in a fine photo. #075, those eyes, that face, that hair. #041, that stellar body, arched into an awesome and impressive full bridge revealing her physique to stunning effect. “Violett” overflows with wonderful images of a remarkably beautiful and appealing model. Who could possibly resist all that?
