Katie A ‘Artio’ at Metart by Karl Sirmi

Katie A ‘Artio‘ by Karl Sirmi

The setting for the Met Art erotic photo series “Artio” couldn’t be more appropriate for the sultry subject. Photographer Karl Sirmi has positioned his model on a circular bed, its sheets in pleasing disarray. A sexy girl, an unmade bed — it doesn’t take much more than that to inspire one’s erotic imagination.

As it happens, this model is particularly inspiring in her own right. This is only Katie A’s second MetArt nude photo gallery (a third has been added to her portfolio only recently), and she is just 19 years of age. But lack of age or experience is no impediment! Katie A is beautiful, talented, and extremely sexy. And there’s a knowing quality, an air of maturity, to Katie’s allure. This is no inexperienced “legal teen,” Katie A projects a seasoned and worldly sexuality.

Physically and facially, Katie A is an exceptional specimen. She’s also a gifted poser with a limber and flexible body and a creative imagination — she assumes some poses here that verge on contortionism, and the effect is absolutely eye-catching. The cluster of shots spanning #018 through #023 showcase her bendable body quite wonderfully, and #090, #092, and #095, while less dramatic, have a physical grace that’s a delight to behold.

The series is presented in somewhat jumbled form, or rather, it’s presented here out of its logical order. In the first ten images Katie A is totally, gloriously, nude. But in #011 she’s fully dressed in a sheer, frilly black and white nightie over matching panties. If one proceeds through the set in numerical order, as I do, the logical progression of the series — dressed, then topless, then totally nude — is lost. But who cares! In fully clothed shots (like #043 or #034) Katie A delights. In a topless shot (#072 is a beauty) she beguiles. In headshots (#030 or #054) her beauty borders on hypnotic. And totally nude (offering a prone invitation in #004, or spread wide and brazenly presented to the lens (in #112 among others), Katie A is both lovely and lusty. “Artio” gives the viewer a vivid and detailed picture of how enjoyable it would be to help her “unmake” a big, inviting bed!
