Chiara A ‘Chrisos‘ by Luca Helios
MetArt erotic photographer Luca Helios is something of a seaside specialist — I wouldn’t be surprised if his ratio of beach to non-beach galleries was substantially higher than the majority of his fellow contributors. The location he employs here, a sandy stone staircase, a patch of strand, and a rock just off shore, is undeniably scenic and intriguing — one of the “highs” I allude to in the title of this post.
Chiara A is another one of these highs. This is a beautiful, stylish model, and she’s confident and at ease despite the fact that her “costume” here consists only of jewelry and a pair of sandals. When she smiles — as she does in #005, a standing, full-body shot, or in #043, a beautiful and energetic headshot — she exerts an almost magnetic attraction on the viewer.
I’ve critiqued another Chiara A set, also shot by Helios, and it employs a similar style as well as a similar location. Some of the weaknesses I found in that set can also be found in “Chrisos.” One of these “lows” is the complete absence of explicit shots. While Chiara A is nude for the entire set she never offers us a meaningful glimpse of her intimate attributes. When a model is this pretty I feel cheated if she holds back like this, and I very much doubt I’m the only one who feels this way.
Another low is simply the quantity of images here — a rather scant 59 photos. Perhaps a memory card with the remainder of the set was accidentally dropped in the sea? Perhaps the explicit shots from this session were on the ruined card? Idle speculation, at best.
But despite its liabilities, and because of its assets, “Chrisos” leaves me wanting to see more of Chiara A — and not simply more images, but more images of everything this beautiful woman has to offer.
