Feeona A ‘Chora‘ by Rylsky
There’s a light, dreamy quality to the Met Art erotic photo series titled “Chora.” Much of this is due to the soft, hazy sunlight that illuminates the seaside setting and subject. Of course, that subject is Feeona A, and this fair-haired doll has a cherubic charm and angelic beauty that lends itself well to this type of presentation.
This is the only the second Feeona A series by Rylsky where the photographer has chosen to shoot her outside. And it’s interesting to compare his style and technique in a natural setting with his previous studio work. It seems to me that Rylsky understands the strengths and weaknesses of each location. In the studio he takes full advantage of the technology available. But in the picturesque location of “Chora” he takes a step back and lets the beauty of nature play a larger role. This isn’t landscape photography by any measure, but the photography is of a much simpler, natural style than his studio work.
My affection for Feeona A dates back to her Met Art debut. Since that happy occasion I’ve critiqued three — count ‘em: one, two, and three — more of her pictorials, and they never fail to delight. “Chora” didn’t bowl me over at first, however. It did take me a little while to adjust to the style here which, as already noted, is different than the previous sets. But, gradually, artist and model worked their usual magic and earned my praise and admiration once more.
Picking favorites in a Feeona A set is always a challenge, but let me mention these few: on her knees, explicitly exposed, and smiling in #031. The fantasy element of the series is well represented by #061. The sun shines just a bit brighter in #091 and captures the model during a quiet, thoughtful moment. The smile in #106, fully “dressed,” is wonderful. And the set ends with another smile, this time with an entirely candid, spontaneous quality.
